A burned bum.
The "exciting" part of a nascar track.
Actually I have no idea what a berm is. I've heard they have them on the east coast and the pacific northwest. They're more of an urban legend at dry dusty northstar where I usually ride. I'm thinking one of us should import one just so we can see what it is.

SMT had it right...irieness said:don't drink coffee...didn't you understand sarcastic smartass...

A riding line is not always straight. It is the path you choose, or at least intend, to steer your bike along. For XC guys the line is the way around a course that will yield the fastest time, often swerving to avoid bumbs. To a freerider, the line is the path that is super technical (if he wants), or will just launch him. If there is a turn in the path, a berm will help you hold your line.
I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make fun of your question...it's just that when I'm wondering what things are like head tube, seat post, cranks, crank flux capacitor, SS, FS, hardtail... I do a little research on my own...it tends to be a lot faster than waiting for someone to answer a thread... but then it does give a lot of people something to be a smartass about...phoeneous said:If I knew what a fukn berm was I wouldnt have asked. Grow up kiddies, it was just a question.
