 Please can someone explain this 'squid' thing to me? I've seen it starting to appear recently, and am now seeing it all over the place on facebook or pinkbike when biking related... Am I not getting something? I'm so confused!

 an elongated, fast-swimming cephalopod mollusk with ten arms (technically, eight arms and two long tentacles), typically able to change color. hahah jk jk its basically a mix between a grom, a rookie, and an idiot.

 The term comes from the motorbike world www.motorbikelicense.com/motorcycle-squid-slang-about-squid-motorcycle-riders

 This is a perfect example of two things, how you don't roll a roll, and a guy riding above his skill level!

 You got that right. This trail is the only triple black diamond I've ever tried. Lesson learned Smile

 Gotta try new things or you'll never get better right?

You'll know to stay off the brakes next time eh Wink

 Kylelsaman, Good try, one day you will do it and be like "how was that ever hard?". Just keep trying! Less rear brake and don't hang your butt way out.

Always ride some thing slightly above your skill level. Its called progression.

 Rear brakes are great right up to the point where they are overused. Easing up on them when the bike went sideways would've regained you some control.

 If he'd let loose on the brakes or just feathered them, he would of been fine

 its a trail called huggies and duggies on the same road as the coast gravity park. The whole trail is super steep and gnarly, its good shit. Linden feniak built it.
