Hurting Hubbard Weave

When a Hubbard (uncool, slow, unfashionable, annoying, awkward or stupid cyclist) finds themselves in the hurt box whilst riding up a hill, and subsequently resorts to weaving across the road to reduce the gradient of a hill.

The weave may be intentional or unintentional.
Garry the Hubbard from Military Rd likes to think himself a gifted cyclist. He rides lots - at least once a fortnight.

For this fortnights ride, he decides to head to the 'hills'. After riding 3% for a kilometre he finds himself questioning whether or not the protein shakes he has for breakfast have added to his muscle mass or waistline.

Two kilometres in, everything goes dark. He's hurting. He's weaving all over the road, barely staying upright.

He's doing the HURTING HUBBARD WEAVE.

Hucking

I heard it used on E! in 1998 on a show having to do with skiing in the Rockies. Perhaps it does have roots to the existing definition listed here at urbandictionary, but extreme skiers have been using the term for years in reference to hucking or skiing off a particularly dangerous cliff or ski area. It's not limited to skiing but does seem to be popular on the West Coast.
"My perception of 'extreme' equals someone hucking themselves off a cliff on a bike, skis, snowboard, whatever."
