understand...

UnPlanned Dismount

We don't say 'fall' because you don't actually
fall.....unless of course you just took a big header...then
you clearly 'fell'

Which, by the way, is the eighth definition (of nine)
returned by www.acronymfinder.com. I'm amazed it made it
there.

You may not find the answer to "What's does UPD mean?" in the FAQ, but
it should be the first answer in the list!

I think I might have submitted it. I also submitted one of
the meanings for the acronym RSU. Afterwards I regretted not
capitalising the first letter of each word, but it doesn't
really matter.

Maybe you did, but I did as well, almost 1.5 years ago. See

OK you must have submitted it then Klaas, I submitted some
other unicycle related acronym after not finding it in
there. My memory isn't too good, unlike yours. Maybe I
submitted Tuni!

UnPlanned Dismount

We have major UPDs and minor UPDs. Major ones are sometimes
called "crash". Unless intentional, anytime you come off the
Uni is a UPD. But we say its only a "crash" if something
other than your feet hits the ground. (like your hands, or a
shoulder, or a face) :eek: -one's expression during a UPD

So If I walked up to one of you sometime and was talking
about a ride, would it be right to say "up-da" in
speaking conversation refering to a UPD? Or would you say
unplanned dismount?

A savings of exactly one syllable, but hey, if we weren't
quirky....

Sunday, while on a MUni ride with S_Wallis, I coined a new term (SUPD).
After riding the Coker exclusively, upon getting back to MUni on my
24x3, I found myself dismounting for no good reason. I made a remark to
Scott about all my Stupid UPD's (SUPD's).
These SUPD's occur for no apparent reason, usually after clearing a more
difficult section, then dismounting while riding on the easy stuff😄 😉

Is that pronounced "sue-pee-dee?"?

I've always liked the argument (previously somewhere on this forum) that
there is no such thing as an "unplanned" dismount. All dismounts are
planned even if at the very last instantaneous moment. 🙂

Then on another tack, I wonder if it's possible for the
unicycle to plan the dismount. Sometimes I think my ride
continuously scans the upcoming terrain looking for the
opportune moment to pitch me headfirst into the vast
stretches of the stratosphere.

i, and anyone I've heard say it out loud have always just
said the three letters...you - pee - dee

I never thought it would be up for discussion...that's

True, true. Actually, unplanned is one word. We could change
uplanned dismount to "UD," and UPD could mean something
else. Like Unicycling Penile Discomfort. 😄
