The verbย โsend itโย is heavily used in the world of action sports these days. To โsend itโ means to throw caution to the wind and go senselessly big. Our blogger Tonyย going huge before blowing upย in Corbetโs Couloirย is the perfect example of the phrase.
There are many variations of this term. Among the most popular variations areย โJoe just sent that cliffโย orย โJessica got real โsendyโ today.โย Orย โthat guy is so gnarly they should call him Send-a-Saurus Rexโ.
Upon plenty of research using highly unreliable sources like Reddit, Urban Dictionary, and various blogs, the consensus is thatย โsend itโย originated as a rock climbing term in the early 1990s. The term was originally used to describe a seamless ascent of a rock wall.
Visually, the idea of watching a climberย โsend itโ up a route is about as exciting as watching paint dry (*personal preference). Watching a guy with a mullet and a Canadian tuxedo sending a gap on a 20-year-old sled is far more stimulating in my opinion.ย
