抓孤輪/翹前輪 的英文怎麼說: wheelie (入內解釋, 另有: 翹後輪的英文)

翹孤輪/翹前輪:Wheelie
Wheelie (Pic CC BY-NC-ND by Two Big Paws)

In vehicle acrobatics(特技表演), a wheelie is a vehicle maneuver(花招) in which the front wheel or wheels come off the ground due to extreme torque(力矩) being applied to the rear wheel or wheels. (wikipedia: Wheelie)


煞車翹後輪:Stoppie
Stoppie (Pic CC-BY-ND by LeeLilly)

The stoppie (also known as Endo), is a motorcycle and bicycle trick in which the back wheel is lifted and the bike is ridden on the front wheel by carefully applying brake(煞車) pressure. It is also sometimes called a front wheelie. (wikipedia: Stoppie)

所以我們知道至少知道有三種可用:
  • stoppie
  • endo
  • front wheelie

但很多人似乎以為front wheelie是翹前輪(用front wheelie搜尋的話,會發現很多照片是翹前輪的),所以要講翹後輪的話,stoppie還是最明確的用法。

有前(front)輪當然也就有後(rear)輪,雖然也有查到有人在用rear wheelie,但似乎不多,總之翹前輪=wheelie,翹後輪=stoppie。


另外還有一種翹後輪,不是透過煞車,而是靠著動力倒車(例如沙灘車、特技腳踏車),這種可以用backward wheelie。


對方聽不懂wheelie或stoppie的話怎麼辦呢?其實回歸原始,翹孤輪就是 front/rear wheel(s) come off the ground (如果你是指汽車翹前輪的話,wheel要加s)


有興趣的話可以到youtube查查看這幾個組合,看看有何不同。
