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?

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:D ;)

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 weird! What does
Andrew_Carter with his funky lighbulbs call it?

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