What does it mean to "huck" a trick and it seems to be a negative term? Newbie needs clarification.

A "Huck" would be a trick you land possibly without proper execution, form, or technique.

"I guess experience over time will cure that??????" Exactly. Usually when you first learn a new trick, it looks kind of hucked. The more you land it, the more it cleans up. Although my Tantrums still look hucked after 2 years of doing them.

Thanks Ehlers Silk. I am sure though as the tricks get more difficult it just takes longer. I wish I could say I have even attempted a tantrum. Peace bro.

when we use it it means you kindof through yourself into it. generally not a trick you can do. maybe just a side definition of it.

too me huck=forced. when i was first learning backrolls I hucked them a lot, leaving the wake early and throwing them really hard in order to bring my rotation around. huck also=sloppy. imo of course. www.wakecoupons.com

we used to use the word huck for simply jumping and doing a trick with no negative connotation when we went snowboarding. i guess it's different in wakeboarding.

I have always used and heard it used as hucking a flip. Like you threw yourself into it. Like a TS backroll and hucking it early. $.02

my opinion (not that it matters): hucked = not smooth

hucking in snowboarding has meant to just throw yourself, basically no skill attached, spinning as fast as you can. Also it means anytrick that just looked to forced, like not smooth and stylie

NO. as a dance teacher of mine used to tell me, practice doesn't make perfect...PERFECT practice makes perfect. if you don't learn how to do something correctly, or continously strive to do it more correctly, then if you're hucking it now there's a good chance you always will. and huckin' definitely seems to be an occupational hazard of tantrums. i'm still huckin' mine - very hard habit to break.

certain tricks have to be hucked like 1080s and big worms. other tricks can either be hucked or thrown big, clean, slow, and styly.

hucked doesnt nescesarily mean that it doesnt look good it just means you huck it. its not a controlled rotation.

Stack: I disagree with your ballet instructor. j/k I think the first time you land a trick (not smooth) like everyone is saying, it more than likely looks hucked. Practice, repetition, etc....you work past the huck and start landing and executing it with skill and style.

haha. it was actually ballet, jazz and tap - but who's keeping track? so does it take 2 years to "work past" hucking a tantrum? i agree that often a first attempt at a trick looks hucked, usually because we don't know what we're doing. however, just because you do a trick a lot doesn't mean you'll do it better. if you're trying to practice the right things you will, but if you practice something incorrectly you'll only succeed in being perfectly bad at it.

here is an interesting thought to those of you equating it with first learning a trick.... maybe hucked=fear you sac up and force yourself to do it. the other thing i would say is sometimes doing too much is hucked....like trying a 7 off of a small wake. www.wakecoupons.com

I would say "hucked" would mean it takes a lot of effort. Most people would agree that having style partially means making things look effortless and hucked is contrary to that. But I think it also has good connotations. If you were to take the biggest cut you could possibly take and throw a HUGE (insert trick here) you could say they hucked it meaning they went out of control speed and height.

I would say whirlys and big worms are huck tricks. I pretty much classify it as a inverted spin without the handle pass. Since you don't pass the handle you need to throw the flip with enough force to spin without the handle pulling you back down before the spin starts. A lot of people who try whirlys at first don't throw (huck) the handle across there face at first and it pulls them into a crazy tantrum. Huck has many different meaning but I don't think it always means ugly. I do whirlys and big worms but i would still classify them as huck tricks.
