Came across this and thought I’d share. The Mountain Bike Dictionary.
After a quick perusal, one of my favorites:
Auger v.: to involuntarily take drill samples of the local geology (usually with your face) during a crash. See face plant. Also see “The Moe” below.
By the way, I vote we never let Moe live this one down… like “Hmmm… I think we need a sample of this back at headquarters… Hey Moe, time to auger!”

dude…that’s messed up…they guy was already down…literally, now you gotta kick him too?
Ok ok…I must confess, its a funny picture!
That’s not a crash. That’d dedicated product testing at it’s finest!
He was doing a helmet and knee/shin pad test right?
How did that happen by the way?

enjoy!
I was also inspecting the soil samples so I can re-adjust my tire pressure accordingly..
lol. This picture reminds me a certain video we have of Moe taking soil samples at the fullerton loop. No face planting involved but it sure was funny…hhhmmm. I wonder where we put that video….
Found it!
