Chucking with gusto
Hucking is throwing or launching something with force and abandon, often without much concern for precision: He was just hucking rocks into the lake.
In action sports like mountain biking, skiing, and skateboarding, hucking means launching yourself off a jump or drop with aggressive commitment: She's out there hucking cliffs like it's nothing.
The word conveys reckless energy—more about sending it than finessing it.
