A hucker is basically a freerider - more specifically, someone who jumps off of obstacles. Stunts and dirt jumps are often built by huckers. This is in contrast to cross country mountain bikers, like me, who prefer trails without stunts and jumps, although some of us, myself included, do like a little freeriding with some super technical sections (rocks, logs, etc.).

A huck does not usually involve a great deal of finesse or style either.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

Hey I am learning something new everyday here at TE.
Before this post I would have thought it had something to do with spitting.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

That still perfectly fits the definition I gave. Just because there are hucking opportunities on many XC trails doesn't mean it's traditionally (keyword: traditionally) XC riding. I'm a cross country rider who sticks with it, although I've been caught mini-hucking. Mini hucks hurt less when you fall. Originally Posted by crazycanuck

Hucking and XC riding often get mixed together, but that doesn't change the definitions.
