Do you have common Stunts expressions in your own language? How do you say the name of track elements?

Mostly I use the English word even when speaking about it in Hungarian, but there are some "national" versions, too:

replay = visszajátszás
ramp = ugrató (and some folkloric versions, like ugrasztó, ugrajtó )
powergear = kiakasztás
powergear next to the fence = LOME kerítéstaktika (invented by Akoos LOME in the late 90s)

And the simple translations:

pipe = csö (with long ö)
tunnel = alagút
finish = cél
bridge = híd
banked corner = dölt kanyar (long ö)
manual gear = kézi váltó

I haven't talked to anyone about Stunts technicalities in Danish since I taught Lise to play in 2004. I guess there's a few concepts I'd still use Danish words for:

finish line (målstreg)
icy corner (is-sving)
and bridge, road, grass etc. (bro, vej, græs)


Back when I was a kid, we used "flyvehop" (translate to "flying jump" or "flight jump") for jumps.

The nomenclature used by Kalpens in the 90s would be quite interesting (or the Loehrers). Aerial stunts = FLUGKUNSTSTÜCK ?

you forgot corksrew = dugóhúzó
and slalom is szlalom in Hungarian, but I tend to call it szalonna (bacon)
I have also never called grass grass. Its f?.

you forgot corksrew = dugóhúzó

I've never used "dugóhúzó" for that element.

I use almost all the words in english, but:

bridge: puente
pipe: caño
crashed car: la puta madre

For 4dsl site I translated everything to make it easier for everybody, ie,:

power gear: alta velocidad (it means high speed)
replay handling: manejo de replay
magic carpet: alfombra voladora

[CTG]

crashed car: la puta madre

[Chulk]

crashed car: la puta madre

Jajajajaja!!!!

I tend to use as much Spanish terms as I can, mainly due to Aburaf's and Alan's poor English knowledge.

[alanrotoi]

Yes, he said "replay" and I didn't undestand 

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

replay = visszajátszás
powergear next to the fence = LOME kerítéstaktika (invented by Akoos LOME in the late 90s)

Correction: invented by Ákos LOKE in 1996/97.

Replay is "ripléj". 

[zaqrack]

of course ripléj!
