I knew what a brody was, but I dirt-biked long ago myself. 75020@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Jul 2004 16:08:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/20/095416.php#comment-74978 Well, I may have it wrong myself, JR, but when I was a kid riding dirt bikes we always called that locked-up sideways slide a full brody. Just breaking the back wheel loose a bit and having it spurt sideways was a half-brody. We picked it up from the dirt-bike magazines, but it's probably considered archaic by now. A lot like I myself usually am. ;) 74978@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Jul 2004 12:50:15 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/20/095416.php#comment-74973 <i>No, not the one with the 18-wheeler <b>brodying</b> into the dealer parking lot...</i> This is some truckers' term for sliding? 'Cause I haven't heard it before. Is it a specific kind of slide, or does it signify just being generally out of control? 74973@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Jul 2004 12:14:24 EDT
