there are ones for one footed Wheel Walk I just don’t remember them.
I think that there was a post a while ago giving all of the Abreciations, Slang, Terms and Acronyms.
FD = Flying Dismount (resulting in road rash)
CFD = Controlled Flying Dismount
BS = Butt Shift (when you adjust your seat position while riding) Modification: BSWA (With Air) for getting off the uni and fanning out your shorts!
LBS = Lauching Butt Shift (Getting comfy on the seat as you start out, if possible) also “Local Bike Shop”
RO = Random Ow
ILC = Involuntary Loss of Control
H & F = Hans and Franz - and ILC which requires flailing arms like a muscle man.
most of these are just good fun and not used, but the LBS = Local Bike Shop is commonly used.
I think an acronym is an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word - doesn’t need to be an existing word. UPD is pronounced as separate letters and thus not an acronym.
But I don’t think we need separate threads for uni acronyms and uni abbreviations.
BTW, is uni an acronym? I don’t think so even though it is an abbreviation (of unicycle) and pronounced as a word.
I did make up toofeno. I think that toofeno (“tuFEEno”) never did catch on, in part, perhaps, bc it’s such a hard skill that I still can’t even do it (despite having tried it for over 5 years!). So it doesn’t come up in discussions very often. I mention it from time to time in my club notes.
I think it would be fun to have a few more terms (ollie, for example), but they usually arise naturally.
Another term I use in my notes is 1’ww (one foot wheel walk). That’s neither a true abbrev nor an acronym. tho it’s close to an abbrev.
Other abbrevs we all use include:
psi
rev and revs
rpm (revs per minute), aka ‘cadence’
… but these aren’t limited to the world of uni’ing – they’re cycling terms.
