Correct term?

[EastMT]

When the leader of a group ride finds good flowing lines and everyone has a good ride in the dunes he (group leader) will get compliments during breaks. What is the correct polite term to use when someone finds the most unflowing lines that offer a rough not so enjoyable ride? As in “Sir that sure was a xxxxx ride”?

@Sand Shark may know the term, he has heard it a time or three bringing us back from China Wall area. Usually the comments are "whew, we finally made it back to camp" or over the radio "umm i need to stop and let ralph out".

 

[Jammer75]

Nothing.

Why don’t you lead then!!??

We have people that will bitch about it from time to time but refuse to EVER lead!!

Ride from China to the washes. You have to turn left hard. The flow always takes you right towards the flats and chop.

Usually, WTF? While leading you know if the lines suck, I will admit it and say “sorry”

 

[MWB]

I will usually say something like
If your goal was to find every witches eye by stringing together bad decisions and poor choices into a nauseating ride, you can consider that ride a success

You not only know the ride is bad you usually know the exact turn you should not have taken.

Get on the radio and say "coming through" and lead everyone back to the promise land.

Not willing to do so? STFU and bear it. Your leader already knows it sucks.

"Well that ride was as fun as tits on yore uncle"

Yep. Beeline back to the washes from China is a shitshow of small dunes. NW from there, then looping back into Olds area is the only way to fly if not on a quad.

"Let me lead the next run" And when I choose bad lines, I'll know and apologize to the group first. Peace

 

[Bansh88]

I don't say shit.

 

[HozayKwarvo]

If someone bitches about my line but isn't willing to lead themselves I'll kindly tell them to eat an entire bag of dicks.

I lead a lot and I've had those moments where I couldn't find my ass with both hands and a map... Like Rockwood said, the leader already knows it sucks.

Wow, sounds like some of you have thin skin. We all talk shit in our group and it don’t mean nothing. We are all out for a good time! Even when @Sand Shark leads is into a black hole it’s better than being at home wishing we were duning.

What he said. Giving everyone shit has been some of the best times.

I believe that ride starts with this is going to suck, but maybe there will be a decent line back. LOL!!!

China to the Swingset or Flag Pole has good lines. China back to the washes is 50/50 cut one direction too early or too late and the ride sucks ass.

Our group does as well. Some of the funniest moments come over the radio as we head back from the Ledge in the dark. The only guy in our group who can lead at night is the only guy doesn't have a radio, so the comments are pretty brutal.

When he starts going from side to side back and forth and around in circles somebody usually gets on the radio and says something like "The Cat is in the Cat Box"

 

[EastMT]

Thanks for the reality check. Got a big bag of dicks on order.

Usually either my BIL or I lead. He and I both know when we get into a funk but can typically work our way through it. If anyone says something (usually one of the wives), it mostly goes along the lines of "that was a rough one". I'm the first to admit when I blow a section.
