Interesting discussion. It makes me sad that the hardcore 3D guys in this discussion get so defensive or even nasty when someone questions their motivation for getting so close. I know that 3D has a bad reputation at a lot of clubs, and is not well accepted in some circles. The 3D guys are already on the defense, and when I asked the question, a few of the guys have had some pretty snide comments and reactions.

It was just a question. I just wanted to know if there was an advantage to being so close. We all know it's dangerous--thats a given.

But, it saddens me to see how quickly some of the negative attitudes come out when people wrongly perceive that they are being attacked. It was just a simple question--with no hidden agenda.

I'm going to quit using the term "huckin" now. I don't much care for teenage slang and skateboarders or BMX teenagers. So, if thats where "huckin" came from--then I won't be using it anymore.
