What's your thought of a Huck?

[stinkyboy69]

(Pretty much the name says it all)
G'day guys/girls, I was thinking the other day. What makes a Huck, just landing to flat or more than that? What would you call a huck?

[nickhagee]

i reckon a huck is just anything you drop off so... step-downs or even flat. but the drop off has too be flat as well (like no kicker or lip)

[atomik chris]

doin a drop over 10 ft and bigger is a huck

[Steve-0]

Doo-ing a drop/gap/jump that is unessesarily harsh on you or your bike.

[fatass]

I reckon a huck is exactly the same as stated above. But a hucker is someone with no apparent skill. Just plough through the middle. Ever see a guy at DJ's just flatland everything because he gets more time in the air? Well he's a hucker.

[derelikt]

A huck is a drop of which the height exceeds the distance covered.

[sheepy]

try www.dictionary.com :rolleyes:






you kids are trying way too hard to define something that has no true definition. and it doesnt need one either! there isn't a specific size or dimension of a jump that turns it into a huck!

[Breaka]

I agree with Sheepy. I disagree about the whole "your a hack because you huck".

[pinned--->]

To me its more of a jump/gap/drop that is a huge effort to get over. You cant just launch it you have to "huck" it. Also pretty much anything stupid to flat or something huge with a tiny tranny.

[Plow King]

I don't think anyone gives a flying fuck.

1/ Do a search

2/ Does it really matter what a huck is? Go ride your bikes and have fun.

Chris you lucky you cant/wont huck... Your a smart man, and I mean that...

A huck is a drop-off roughly over 2m that is done at a fairly slow speed.

A huck, the act of a rider hucking, is where he or she approaches the drop slowly, lifts up the bars close to head high, incorrectly positions the body often landing heavily on one wheel. Speed is greatly reduced from hucking.

[stinkyboy69]

Aweseome thoughts/definitions guys keep them coming!, I'm learning

Riding of a gutter.

Thats what i think of a huck.Other riders all ways seem to use the word "huck" too much.It gets on my nerves but i calm down and explain it to them,the diffrence between a huck and what ever else there is.

[stinkyboy69]

I once saw a big two page spread in a bike mag about the word "hucker". It was based on a Pro Freerider getting angry at the general public of mtb. He repeated a number of times that he thought that the word “Huck” was so American and should not be used in australia, thought it sounded horrible and was telling the readers that people need to know the difference between Freeriding and Hucking. He also said how alot of downhillers either Hate huckers or love them which I knew was spot on. I learnt that it can be a very offensive word to downhillers.

Hucking:
A term used to refer to stupidity and sometimes lack of skill in riding. Often in conjunction with references to extreme stunts with no real flow or tact, for example drops without transfers ("Drop to flat," or, sometimes "Huck to splat") relying on the suspension travel to save the day as opposed to riding skill and/or the jump/drop/gutter in question.

Huckers:
Generally known to be stupid, gung-ho and dropped on the head at birth. Signs of a hucker can sometimes include headslap on landing (sloppy technique and lack of poise on a bike, also possibly induced by the ridiculous size of the jump/drop/gutter) and an alarming tendancy to keep the legs straight during landing rather than bending the knees to soak up the impact (also a sign of being dropped on the head and/or a lack of finesse/brains on two wheels).

Many believe that hucking and huckers are a pimple on the face of Mountain Biking, and riding in general. Others respect them for the cojones they display when they perform such amazing[ly stupid?] acts on a bike.

That’s really good.. I'm saying that if people ask now. Props to you for having a good definition.:)

Thats wronge, what about a massive drop to a steep ass down ramp thats like almost at the foot at the drop. Thats not a huck...

Good point but who cares, its more of a personal thing I think. Everyone has their own deffinition and they all vary.

haha i cracked up so hard when i saw that it was sweet.
yea but people dont need to get so technical as long as you know your going downwards over a gap, landing to flat or slope

[stpFREEEK]

for me, a 'huck' is a drop, where the rider drops further than they are gapping.
i.e. a drop that is 7m from the takeoff to landing in hieght and 2m gap, is a huck.

drops to flat arent hucks, they're stupid...:p

[Jarrad]

Well I say a huck is anything that involves dropping or launching off something. Whether it be a stepdown or whatever, just gives me an excuse to scream out huck and then so I can think to myself how cool I am..... :rolleyes:

ammended that for ya there;)

EDIT: i wish i could reply to every single post in this thread but i dont have the time or the effort. please people, PLEASE STOP being so STUPID!!

[billyrockcruz]

I thought a Huck was dropping of a non "man made" drop ? Not sure, but thats what my interpretation of a Huck was.

But if the drop has a stable man made ledge and is regarded as secure then it is no longer considered a huck because the drop or ride is considered ridable by its own line or man made structure.

I think i read somewhere that Berrycloths reply to what a Huck is, "Throwing yourself off a cliff with no regards to the takeoff or landing transition". He also stated that if the drop has man made structures added to it then it is a controlled environment of sorts and really is not considered a Huck because it is a given that the drop has been "Made" and as such is expected to be ridden.

Now if you come to a big drop and it has no super buff lip or landing transition and you hit it anyway, well you just Hucked yourself!

Again not sure, but my 2 cents worth anyway.

[Stack Shack]

When i "huck" off something its a drop.

to me a huck is a drop of any sort. It is always your own personal interpreation so dont rag on people about. if all else fails just go ride.

to pro downhillers a lot of you are probably huckers(lack of skill,form)so in fact it is the skill level not the drop that matters, i dare say sam hill could ride easy
what a lot of you regard as a huck

[Geordsta]

A huck is just a drop or something that u cant just roll off but does it really matter?

Dude, look how many replies this thread has. I think we have established the definition of a huck.

[Harry B]

I would huck if I could, right now I can only drop about a metre and a half.

go all out get as much height and as much air as you can. go as big as you can. go off drops(10ft+) dont care if you land on flat.

[Kenton]

anything that is of a decent size but mainly the stupid size drops. It must have a huge element of dumbness to it that will more than likely have a bad outcome on you or your bike :D Or when jumping, bar fucking everytime lol.:D
