No one is quite sure where this term came from. It is a naval term for a young sailor. It may be an acronym. Some examples are "SQUirrely kID," "Stupid, QUick, and Inevitably Dead," or "Super QUick, Inadequately Dressed."

i got this definiition from the web, and if a person did a 100 mph wheelie, they have probably done this many times. in general, what im trying to say is that most squids wouldn't even attempt a stunt so dangerous.

you'd be surprised. danger is all relative. I find it dangerous when I see other riders (no helmet no gear) splitting between cars and lanes going 90+ mph. the cars never see it coming, they just squeeze through. I know there are many definitions for squids, I'm not concerned about that, I just offered my own perspective. my point is squid is anyone who's reckless putting others at risks, be it 100 mph wheelie or riding gearless weaving through traffic. and often squids are very skilled, like I said, there are many definitions, and not all of them qualify as newbies. an experienced rider can be just as squidly... basically reckless regardless of skill. if this sort of behavior is common even in an experienced rider, he is a squid. plus his style of riding would be different, he could be better at pulling wheelies than taking corners.

squid = ignorant.......i think that sums it up....

I saw a guy doing one of those 100mph+ wheelies the other day. He ran up on traffic on Route 100 and ran into the rear of a VW with front wheel still in the air. He never lost it, he did finally spill in the median strip, tumbled a few times. The cycle was trashed but he walked away. The VW only had a little mark on the rear from the tire. Guy sure was lucky.
