    Gription: The defining word for how much traction (grip) your tires have when climbing.
    "I like the gription of the Maxxis Rekon 2.4 better than the Schwalbe Hans Dampf."
    Hurracinous: A descriptive word sharing the windy condition of hurricane type weather.
    "I often find P12 to have hurracinous wind conditions!"
    SmartAsstic: Really? I have to explain this one? A smart ass in their moment.
    "He was totally in a smartasstic mood."
    Duscheable: Having the ability to easily become a dick!
    "That dude can totally be duscheable at times!"

    Hurricanous.

    You forgot Stiction, which is synonymous with gription.

    And my all-time favorite, "wussificationistic." I wish I could remember which forum member coined it.

    Edit: @jimbowho came up with it.

    Wait...
    That’s NOT a word??
    Every mountain biker on the PLANET should know the word Stiction!
    Stiction: A term designed to describe resistance prior to moving parts gliding upon each other! Sheesh! :rolleyes:
    “Dude! I just replaced my fork seals with some military defense grade F35 thingy’s I stole from work, and I don’t feel any Stiction!”

    Try simply yelping like a hyena. That kinda takes folks aback and hopefully conveys what they should appreciate as your jubilation.

    But it gets interpreted as jabberation so they get resentful.
