    Dirt Roadie - These creatures are often found at XC races, roadies who have strayed to MTB events, their annoying level of fitness will beat you up the fireroad climbs, but as soon as they hit the singletrack they'll mince about on any small root/ rock/ blade of grass holding you up until the next bit of fireroad. This cycle will continue for the entire lap/race.

    Weight weenie Someone so obsessed with bike weight they will happily spend £50 to reduce their stem cap but 2g. see El Capt for reference ;)

    TBH, I fit both of those categories. :(

    Oh, and the stem-cap was only £12, and it reduced the weight by 10g... :wink:

    Titanium - strange metal produced by dwarves and coveted by weight weenies
    Carbon Fibre - Hard material that casts no shaodow, lighter than air and said to be made by strange alchemy in the dark mountains to the east. Even more highly regarded than titanium by weight weenies, although souls have been lost to the underworld in pursuit of it.

    stack (v) - to be separated unexpectedly from your rig, and then equally unexpectedly rejoined to it (usually some way down the trail) in a different configuration. Common usage: 'He stacked it'. A good stack will incorporate several riders, bikes and parts of the local environment such as branches and fences in the resulting heap. Often accompanied by howls of agony from the vicinity of the newly arranged limbs, wheels, etc, and demonic laughter from witnesses who did not 'stack it'.

    off (n) - general term used to describe spontaneous involuntary mid-ride separation from your rig. Normally a brief, solitary procedure that ends suddenly on the ground. Common usage: 'I had an off'. Differs from 'stack' in that reunion with the metal parts of the rig occurs at the beginning of the 'off'. Reconfiguration of both rider and the rig may nevertheless be evident, often as changes in shape, or in the form of newly integrated items from the local environment, such as branches and chunks of gravel.

    BMW335d: Mode of transport obsessed over by people without a penis or personality. These poor deluded souls spend too much time trying to justify their purchase and subsequent use by chanting our various mystical incantations of torque, BHP and fuel economy. Sadly, the only known cure for such low-life members of polite society is a quick and merciful smack with the Ban-Stick.
