Been pushing Mongo for over 15 years. Just found out I have been pushing "wrong" this whole time, but it just feels more natural and smooth. Had a session last night just forcing myself to push the "right" way and it is soooo hard. God bless the internet. Thanks for your video, and for that I just subbed!

Justin B dude I’m happy to hear you’re still shredding! Yeah your habit is to push with that front foot, but when you change it and practice the other way, it’ll feel much better! Since you’ve got that push down though, if you ever do anything switch or fakie, you’ll have it down packed already haha. Keep skating and keep improving! Glad this was helpful! Thanks for the sub!

I'm naturally goofy. I pushed mongo for a while when I little, until I started getting more serious about skating. I didn't want to have any disadvantages while I was trying to set up on my roll ups, of course you don't want your style to look spastic and all over the place. After I learned to push normaI I started getting more into switch and I realized that pushing mongo had actually helped me out so much with pushing switch. I have a very smooth and fluid style goofy and switch and I believe alot of that is because I pushed mongo for so long as a kid.

Matthew Borders the bushings on your trucks might be worn on the one side and causing your board to want to go to the right every time. Try flipping the board around and push that way. If it fixes, then great! If it now goes to the left, get new bushings. If it still goes to the right, then it might just be how you’re balanced and you just have to keep practicing staying centered while you push! Hope this helps! You’ll get it!!

I may be able to make a video on that in the future! In the meantime, use these tips: Have someone help you loosen your trucks a little. Then when you are riding, lean to your toes to turn one way and lean toward your heels to turn the other way. This is really all you need to know! It gets better and easier with practice. If you want to keep your trucks tighter, you will have to push down a little with your back foot to make the board lift up a tiny bit and you can turn it that way too. This is also called doing a "tic tac" and is a great trick to learn as one of your first!! Have an adult read this and help you out if you would like! Keep practicing and have fun!

I used to push mongo for years but found out it’s not the easiest for tricks. So I learned how to ride goofy. Took time and dedication but definitely worth it. Eventually, I plan on learning to ride regular.

I Push "Mongo" Currently: My Left is on the back of the board, pushing with my right foot. Do I keep my right foot on the front, and recondition myself to push with my left foot? Is that correct?

I pushed Regular for a few months when I started Skateboarding 45 years ago. Then I switched to Mongo for some reason. I ride Goofy. I never did flip tricks so it was never an issue setting up tricks. Once I started riding vert it never even came up. Now I got into Longboarding and I can see where Mongo could be an issue for foot braking if you put your front foot on the ground. Long distance pushing would benefit from being able to push both Regular and Mongo. Going to give Regular a try.

I skated mongo for all my 10 years and never once had a problem setting up after pushing. You just get used to it from day one that you learn to adjust your feet super quick anyway. There is no right or wrong way, everyone is different and can push how they feel is right for them. People need to stop criticising others and let them just enjoy skating Also to add with skating mongo you have more control over the board to stop quickly if you have to. And also adjust your direction.

I just got back into skating with the pandemic and everything. There's no cheating the practice, but ditching mongo is the way to go! There's way more balance and stability, and less play with the front trucks over bumps and stuff.

If you push Mongo, you need to keep your foot as far forward from the tail of the board as possible while still giving yourself enough room for your front foot. The further forward the better the balance.

Yeah personal choice! I skated on and off from like 11 until I was 19 before I decided to switch the habit. I am glad I did. It didnt really take that long to get comfortable. Just spend a day or two pushing down the street or around the park. Its all about training the leg muscle Now I can push both regular and mongo, but am more comfortable regular

Just bought a board after more than a decade of not skating. Back when I was, I tried off and on to push normal, but kept giving up and switching back to mongo. I can do normal... kinda (it’s not pretty), but sometimes I start balancing too much on my pushing side (right), and I’m practically hopping along rather than riding the board. 😅 My left leg don’t wanna support me! Anyway, gonna try to try to make it happen. I’m a believer in re-wiring the brain and changing your muscle memory... even if I don’t like it! Lol

for some reason as a begginer I did shit wrong. i am Rarm/Rleg dominant. i started drumming before i started skating and i would play the high hat on my left and the snare on my right. sort of like ''mongo drumming''. same with skating. i felt more stability standing on my right leg and pushing with my left. but after a few days of forcing myself out of my habit, it felt so much more natural for setting up drum fills, tricks on the board.

I've been pushing mongo for 8 years now. I ride regular and the hardest part for me is keeping my left foot on the board, my dominant foot is my right so keeping balance with my left foot in front is incredibly hard. Riding goofy feels so much more comfortable now that I'm trying to do it the right way.

Did a little skating as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s. Nothing too fancy, mostly had fun. I son want to learn and asked me why I ride like that. So I checked on the internet and found out I've been doing it wrong. Mongo push with goofy foot and I'm right handed. So now I'm trying to figure out if I should push with my left foot and ride goofy or push with my right foot and ride normal. Both ways feel equally terrible.
@XSProgression
3 жыл бұрын
Hahah I think your usually goofy stance will probably be best. However, if you end up feeling that your left foot forward feels better now than skate that way! It’s just all about keeping your front foot on the board and pushing with the back foot, regardless of stance. You’ll just need to build the muscle memory into the new pushing leg until it becomes a normal comfortable habit. Hope that helps!
