What does 'case' mean?

supertwisted

As in: "I cased that jump and my fork snapped" or some such.

I am old, yes.

It's a silly word kids use for crashed or broked.

supertwisted

Ah I see, thought as much but wasn't sure.

Thanks fellow super person.

It's hitting the landing of a jump badly, so that the front of the bike is on/over the lip, but that the back end is behind it.

Puts a massive amount of pressure on the fork as your momentum disappears in a flash.

People who don't sit around by the fire on their rocking chairs, with their slippers on, smoking pipes use it to mean stacked or crashed - generally in dirt jump, freeride, bmx - stuff old people don't do

supersonic

Yeah, dude.

I just think of 'casing the joint', as in eyeing it up for a heist!

And here's me thinking that casing a jump meant wholly or partly destroying the landing by hanging up the back wheel on the face of the landing.

I've suddenly realised that I'm old

Or you could just say "I crashed on that jump" instead of using stupid made up words like "cased".

Crashing is not the same as casing. Crashing is pretty much anything you don't ride away from. Casing is where EITHER wheel hits the "wrong" side of the lip of the jump or landing either partially or completely stopping the bikes forward movement (but probably not yours until your balls impact on the headset).

If you ever rode a skateboard, it's basically what is known in skateboarding as hanging up.

So to recap;

Crashing is crashing and casing is almost crashing :?

Nah, casing is a specific type of crashing. Although sometimes you can keep riding.

There you go

Ah, so I now have a word for what I did the other day when I landed my back wheel on the edge of a step and creased the rim!

I was just using the words "f*@!£! ba£%£" sh£*"( balls!"

Or if you have at least half a brain, you just use the word crash/ing/ed.
