Chocolate foot:
The foot the rider likes to have forwards most of the time. e.g. when coasting along with the pedals level the chocolate foot will be forwards.

Crisping a wheel:
Demolishing a wheel so it is no longer 'true' but in the shape of a 'crisp' (chip if you're American)

Dab:
This is where a rider puts just one foot down to steady themselves.

Kicker:
A small obstacle that can provide lift to a bunnyhop. e.g. A curb.

Observed Bike Trials:
Called observed because there is an observer watching counting the number of dabs.

Snake Bite/ Pinch Puncture:
Where the inner tube is slit because it is crushed between the rim and the tyre. Usually happens after hard landings on sharp edges.

Speed Trials:
A form of trials competition where the rider completes a section in the quickest time possible, there will usually be something like a five second penalty when they put a foot down (dab) or jump off.

Stack:
Rider unintentionally comes off the bike.

Tactical dabbing:
Usually associated with observed trials competitions. It is where a rider doesn't want to risk trying to overcome the obstacle on the bike (which might lead to a '5' - putting both feet down) so they deliberately dab to help them get past it.

Trial/ Biketrial:
An observed bike trials competition. This is where competitors try and complete a series of sections, clearing obstacles with as little dabs as possible. There will be an observer watching each section to count the dabs. The person with the smallest number of dabs wins.

Trials moves:

American Bunny hop:
A type of bunny hop, where the rider coasts at an obstacle at speed, pulls up on the bars and then flicks the back wheel up underneath them. Unlike some other techniques this doesn't involve any pedal strokes to lift the front.

Back hop:
Where the rider hops the bike on the back wheel. This is useful for getting over stuff where precision is needed and there is no were to put you front wheel. In the video you will also see what is sometimes confusingly known as 'forward back hopping', 'pedal hopping' or 'Hansing'. This is simply where the rider puts in a small kick on the 'chocolate foot' to make the bike move forwards.

Backwards- Rolling Endo:
Rolling Endo going backwards - usually done down a slope.

Bunny hop:
Basically this involves lifting both wheels off the floor, usually with the intension of getting over or onto an obstacle. The bunnyhop is one of the fundamental trials moves which is the foundation for many other more advanced moves. There are several methods to bunny.

Blunt/ Stall/ Back wheel:
To bunny hop on to an obstacle on you back wheel. Sometimes required if you're trying to get onto a narrow obstacle (like a wall) where you have nowhere to your front wheel.

Coaster Wheelie:
A wheelie where the rider doesn't pedal and is usually standing up.

Endo:
Lifting the back wheel off the ground and briefly balancing on the front wheel only.

Forward Back hopping:
See 'Back hop'.

Front Hop:
Hopping on just the front wheel.

Gap / Gap jump:
To clear (jump over) a gap or drop on a bike.

Getup / Dump:
Getting up onto an obstacle using any form of bunnyhop.

Hansing:
See 'Back hop'. - Named after the famous trials rider Hans Ray.

Jap-Slap:
Aside from sounding ridiculous this is supposes to mean using one powerful lurch/leap to get you up onto an obstacle. Please don't use this word, it annoys me!

Lurch:
As in lurching or hopping the bike forwards using body movement and/or pedal kick.

Manual:
A coaster wheelie (A wheelie where the rider doesn't pedal and is usually standing up.)

Nose Pick:
Doing a side hop to the front wheel and holding it on the front wheel.

Pedal hopping:
See 'Back hop'.

Pedal Kick:
Simply doing a short sharp 1/4ish revolution of the pedals.

Rolling Endo:
Moving along the rider uses good brake control and body movements to keep the bike moving whilst only on the front wheel.

Side-hop:
Hoping both wheels sideways - usually upwards.

Stoppie:
See 'Rolling Endo'.

Switzerland Squeaker:
Like an Backwards Rolling endo only 'foot scuffs' on the front tyre are used to sustain the backwards movement.

Touch-hopping:
Similar to a blunt but the front tyre is touched/hit against the edge of the obstacle to give more lift.

Turning Endo:
Pivoting the bike around on the front wheel - like the endo but rotating.
