Hucking is (or can be) a part of freeriding.
THey also make Dirt Jumping bikes which could be classified as Hucking bikes because they don't have front brakes, only rears.

Troie, what have you got against this guy dude? For a noob i dont see it being a seriously stupid question, i mean, you get trials bikes and stuff like that, after a while im sure there will be a whole line built for PURE hucking.
And to answer your question, I cant really think of any, the closest i can think of is Josh Benders bike whereever that is, i think that was especially built to handle the Jah Drop.

It was actually a dh race bike to. Don't know if it did well. But ya thats the closest thing to a huck bike. 24 inches total travel I think.
Hucking seems to have stepped back. Guys aren't going as big and its more about style. If it moves forward again, I have a feeling they still won't use the full 24in travel bikes.

Never even heard of any bike with that much travel, let alone seen a picture.

That would be it. The really cool thin about those bikes is how adjustable they are. Endless configurations. Too bad the owner is an ass and the company is sunk almost.

Here are some selling points and why some people loved them. I guess this is the closest thing to a hucking bike haha...
9" to 11" of travel plush, progressive and controlled travel
66* to 69* degree adjustable head angle
30 mm sealed bearings on all pivots for NO maintenance
Adjustable bottom bracket height for smooth vs. rough courses.
Seat Tower is adjustable both on angle and top tube length (that was a big selling point i would think)
Upper Shock Mount adjusts progression rate, steering angle and bottom bracket height
Lower Shock Mount adjusts travel from 9" to 11"
Back in the day that would have been a primo bike for adjustability.
(I think benders bike was like 21" travel...not 24"...)

a) guys leave the kid alone. If you don't like his posts don't respond or antagonize. Everyone involved, thats a warning.
b) Che - responses like that don't get you far. When you get back, chill out and ignore people that try to egg you on. Trolls exist in multiple forms.
