would like to add to the atv dictionary:



"flashburn"

what happens when you try to remove a stubburn 6-ply tire bead from a rim with a propane torch after the previous owner used a flamable tire leak sealer.



"hailmary trail"

this is when you find yourself repeating the "hail mary" as you're flying down an autum trail covered with many inches of leaves, behind another atv that is making all the leaves swish & swirl making it impossible to see the actual trail and any holes, rocks or ruts the lead atv is avoiding.


"apexology"

this is more of a field of study- of that pivotal moment when doing donuts in the dirt, and you realize as two tires start to lift off the ground, that there is no way to stop spinning the 700lb atv without rolling it over.


"asspineindiktomy"

occurs when you hit a dirt jump the wrong way and the seat slaps your ***, tweaks your spine and crams your nads into the bars.
people who suffer from "asspineindiktomy" have also been known to suffer from...


"imadipshititus"

when you realize the group you're riding with saw the asspineindiktomy occur and you know it's going to be posted in an atv forum before dinner.

 

And here I thought I had seen just about all your exploits.

 

pieceofjunk: (n) the polite version of what the rider of an atv without electric start calls his machine when it doesn't fire by bout the fourth try (ex: come on why wont you start you pieceofjunk)

 

Jgar-(n.) A strange beast that roams the rock strewn hillsides, waterholes, and mudholes, of New England on a sport quad. Stranger still is this near mythical beasts ability to navigate his sport quad successfully through said obstacles without the aid of his fellow riders. Often seen with a mud coated back from his strenuous efforts to get through the deep ones. Many still deny his existence but some here have claimed to see him as he zipped by.

 

^ I have seen him.
He is a ugly, dirty creature and the smell..... Its something like mud, rotten meat, pickled eggs and toe jam all mixed together.

 

I wouldn't let him sit in my truck...

 

 

Silverbackmudpiethrownamuck-A large projectile consisting of the contents of several millennium's worth of rotted vegetation. This rancid dollup is usually excavated by a deep tread mud tire, thrown in an arcing pattern, only to land square between the shoulder blades of the rider in front of the offending quad. Almost always followed by the gleeful laughter of a well known fellow rider.

You just wait!-Often spoken, or more often, shouted at the giver of the Silverbackmudpiethrownamuck by the recipient. Also usually shouted at the, quickly fading from view offending rider.

 

Clogged artery-A group of ATVers, snowmobilers, or MX riders that don't seem to know how to stop at an intersection without clogging it up. In turn, the ATVers learn to dislike the snowmobilers and MX riders that create the clog; the snowmobilers learn to hate the ATVers who create the clog, and the MX riders learn to dislike the ATV riders who create the clog.

Suprise-that overwhelming sense of impending doom that one feels when he/she comes over a rise or around a blind corner only to discover a clogged artery with no chance to stop.

 

Unscheduled Flight-The surprising result of your quad coming to an unexpected, complete stop, while your momentum as a rider, propels you over the handlebars in what is known as Takeoff, followed abruptly by Landing. This short excursion into the thinner air of the atmosphere is usually painful not so much flight-wise but landing- wise. Ditches, rocks, and tree roots usually are your flight schedulers that seem to take glee in your landing patterns.
