The HOIK is a glitch that involves an abuse of slopes, which mess up the positionning of the players/items around the slopes, by making instant movement, which can trigger others instant movements with further slopes.

With this, you can travel horizontally at the speed of 2 blocks per frame
and vertically at the speed of 3 blocks per frame.
I believe it is the fastest speed ever reached in Terraria as for the 1.2.4.1 version.

What I need to know about the HOIK is ... why does the game have this behavior with the slopes ?

How do you HOIK through blocks?

A hoik is entered by positioning the (player) sprite in front of the first tooth. This can be achieved using the following methods: Stepping up onto a square block or a platform hammered into "half" position. Actuating the first tooth, positioning in front of it, and turning it back on.
