Whoops! What are they!?!

[userdude]

I hear Quinn (74Weld) and others refer to whoops on trails.

Tried searching around and mainly get off road rigs turned over or on fire.

What are they, exactly? Is it a race term?

It's short for Whoop-dee-doos, and as shown above, they're just rolling bumps that make you pitch forward and back rapidly. On a bike you can just graze the top of each one if you're going fast enough. (I suppose you could do that in a Bronco, too. But I'm not.)

Whoops are what the pic posted above is showing....... we also refer to going over them fast in the dersert as " mobbin" lol

Hey, we had these on the old I-10 Baytown bridge on the east side of Houston. Loved those things! "Whoomp. Whoomp. Whoomp."

I think so... Quinn refers to them all the time in his videos and the Snail Trail 4x4 podcast episode, but especially in some race he was in in the latter. Seems likely it's similar at least, although I don't know what they are in motocross either...

Something a little sinister about that...

Winner winner, Bronco dinner! Hit some of these in the highway in Missouri near Mark Train National Park, which was pretty fun going faster. I figured it was just unmaintained highway, not intentional.

This has definitely got to be it. Fun video. Thanks!

Looks like the Zip Tie build needs a pit stop stat.

Either that or the ejector button got bumped.
