See also Tips & Tricks
Sometimes paddlers sound like they are speaking another language. Here's a few of our favourite biking slang:

Burly: Big, intense and lots of holes!

Quality: Good. Used as in "That's quality!"

Sketchy: The opposite of quality and not so good! (Something dangerous).

To charge/punch: (as in "Punch that hole!") To paddle REALLY hard and power through something.

Lots more terms!
