Heck I WHOOOP when I'm able to just swing my right leg over the seat and get off the bike without falling into a heap.
Whoop away!

Thank you ladies for those wonderful replies
! It took me a bit to get back to the thread as I was out doing some more whooping, and "oh NO-ing"
. This ride with the super skilled guy buddy did not go so great
. But, I will try again. It is funny, as I was fallen way behind talking to myself and nature's creatures, my pal called back and said "What???"... "oh, nothing", I said, "I'm just having a chat with a woodsy critter"

Does "sch!t!" - "*รง%"&cloink" - "ouch" count?
If no one is there to watch, does a MTB'er falling in the woods make a sound?

It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Given my meager mtb skills and the fact I just never find the time to get out on the trails, every ride I do usually involves me screaming,"I'm not dead yet!"

I felt kinda goofy today when I got caught saying hello to a herd of cows by a cyclist coming in the other direction.

Some friends, DH, and I rode an epic network of trails today, for a grand total of 22+ miles, 2800+ feet of climbing (and a whole lot of descending), and 6 hours of riding. The defining moment of the day, for me, was a rock slab about 15 feet long, and extremely steep. It was a bit of a surprise in an otherwise fairly non-technical ride, and as I cleared it (thinking "butt back, butt back, butt back" the whole way down) I let out a noise something like a squeal. It was the sound of terror, accomplishment, and sheer joy blended into one. I think three out of the four riders made some noise on that obstacle =)

Yeah, me too. I had to stop and talk to the llama family and their horse friend as my cycling buddies whizzed by.

This is so funny. Man, I totally yell out "WHOO HOO" occasionally when I ride. The funner the trail, the more I hoot. I even sing. A regular chant of mine is to sing the "Rollercoaster" song by Red Hot Chili Peppers. "Rollercoaster! Whoop! Yeah!." Don't ask me why. Other times, right when I start the ride, I yell "I'm riding! I'm riding!," or "We're riding! We're riding!" It's the sheer joy.
