a rock climber's slang term for "dynamic" - a powerful move which involves jumping from one hand hold to another (when the distance between the holds is too great to reach), losing all four points of contact in the process.
you essentially fly through the air for a split second before grabbing the next hold.

a machine used to measure the ACTUAL horsepower of a vehicle. a machine most "Ricers" are afraid of.
yo that Ricer swore he had 500hp. but when i PAID for him to put it on the DYNO he soon found out it only had 132hp. Guess all the stickers didnt make a damn bit of difference.

“Dyno” is a term that originated from rock climbing. A “dyno” describes a move in which a rock climber vertically jumps or propels themselves from one rock hold to another. It is always viewed as an impressive feat for any climber.
