| I used to push mongo riding switch, but once I learned how to push regular it was a lot easier to set up for switch tricks 'cuz I wasn't having to re-position both feet all the time. |

| wow, that's kinda messed up. I don't find riding switch that hard. If you practice your body gets used to it. |

| I'm with ontrider, pushing switch is easy. Also, isn't mongo meant to be bad, cause you guys are talking like its an everyday thing? |

| It's just a weird way to push. A lotta guys push mongo when they're riding switch, but to push mongo in your natural stance is just unusual. There are NO pros who push mongo in their natural stance & that's no coincidence. |

What about pro vert skaters jester? They wouldn't need to kick all that much. But I guess them dudes still do a little bit of street an stuff.

I've never pushed mongo, always felt it was kind of akward, even riding switch. Maybe I'm just odd. I've seen Bam push mongo, but he was just being Bam.

mongo is pushing with your back foot on the board.
would it be considered bad to push mongo when you are setting up for nollie/ fakie tricks? |

A lotta guys push mongo when riding fakie/switch but like I said, no pros push mongo in their regular stance so to push mongo when setting up for a nollie seems weird. Doesn't seem like it'd be instinctual unless you push mongo regularly. |
