We all know UPD = UnPlanned Dismount. After a longish ride I came up
with XPD = eXhausted, Must Dismount. Are there any others in common
use? How about UPDb = UnPlanned Dismount (with) bleeding? 🙂

Well the other well known ones, UW = Ultimate Wheel, and BC = BC wheel
or impossible wheel.

I've also seen MUW = Mountain Ultimate Wheel, and MBC = Mountain BC.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.
Parafrasing a pro skater when asked for advise to kids who wanted to
get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

I think you meant X-M-D. 😉 Coincidentally I just got an email from a
guy who said the very same thing. Come to think of it, he's from
Canada as you are...hey it's YOU! 😄

(we met at NAUCC, you were riding backwards when I was practicing
freemounts, remember me saying the two pints of Guinness helped me with
mounting the coker?)

Nice to see you here!

Oh yes, I remember you well and I did mean XMD. How do you correct
errors like that?? I was wanting to preserve XMD for posterity so I
thought this is the place to do it. Time is running out to make my mark
you know.

The BC comic strip is set in the stone age, with the main character
being a cave man. The vehicle he uses is a stone wheel with a wooden
axle shaft that he stands on while rolling. It is essentially the same
concept as our modern version, although standing on foot plates is
easier than using just the axle ends, especially if the foot plates
hang below the wheel.

Another term for BC wheel is impossible wheel, but BC has become a more
popular term as more and more people have demonstrated that it is
possible to master one.

Here is a link to the BC wheel is it appears in the BC comic strip:

What about?
UDC = Unicycle.Com
MDC = Municycle.Com in Germany
SIF = Seat in Front
WW = Wheel Walk

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.

came first up with it, though.

FD = Flying Dismount (resulting in road rash)

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

most of these are just good fun and not used, but the LBS = Local Bike
