he does a really nice nollie flip off a small lifter to start off his seven year glitch part if I remember straight... that's almost switch?

Nollie = fakie switch = more difficult than just switch in my books

Koston pushes mongo when switch au Dôme but in his line at the "3-stairs-then-rail-spot" in LA or something he pushes normal after having nollie fs flipped the 3 stairs up. I think it has to do with the time he has between the two tricks

Chet Thomas

Fuck, his 'Battalion' part is one of the most inspiring and jaw-dropping parts I have ever seen.

Salman pushes regular both ways.

When I first started skating I pushed mongo. When I learned to push with my back foot I still pushed with the other foot when I was going switch. I never changed because Salman and Mariano did it this way.

That is what I mean. When something is natural it looks better. Either way, I hate all of that "UR A POSER IF U PUSH MONGO" garbage. People should do what naturally feels better, not conform to look better.

brian lotti always pushed mongo when going switch..

i will always push mongo switch its not worth changing to try and make someone else like my pushing, mongo works best for me when going switch and thats that

Mongo is unacceptable period.

Bill Danforth pushed mongo going regular?

, only pro I know of who did that.

slurthic · « **Reply #49 on:** August 25, 2007, 09:37:54 PM »

marcus mcbride has the best looking switch mongo ever, if you ask me mongo is acceptable when skating switch. but pushing mongo while skating regular is just horrible, this kid who skates the park i skate regulary pushes mongo, i always yell at him 'youve got the shit foot.'

sundaybottle · « **Reply #50 on:** September 02, 2007, 07:15:14 PM »

Mikey Taylor's got a real nice 'n' easy regular push both ways.

i push mongo switch because its easier.

creager started out pushing mongo,then switched and now he can push faster then me switch,bastard,i would rather see both ways forsure,mariano,yup amazing at switch pushing,but i do hate when people do it and they suck,looks so fucked up i must say,

H8R · « **Reply #54 on:** September 04, 2007, 01:11:13 PM »

i don't know if you guys noticed this but the first push you take, is usually mongo.
when i start my push, i usually have my left foot by the tail of my board(i skate regular) so i can aim it in the direction i want to go, then after a push or 2, i shift my left foot forward to regualr stance, then push normal.
does that make sense?

anyway if i'm skating switch, i'm pushing mongo.
my switch push looks worse than any mongo.

i dunno · « **Reply #55 on:** September 05, 2007, 07:58:54 PM »

I used to push mongo, but then i realized it was violently homosexual once i was old to understand what i was doing, so i taught myself to push with my back foot. So, i push regular switch too because i started out mongo and its still easy to push that way.

ReidVaeth · « **Reply #56 on:** September 13, 2007, 09:11:31 PM »

In One Step Beyond Kenny Anderson does some weird ass pushing thing after a line at that place Mikey Taylor did a line with switch backnoseblunt,shit just ruined that whole line.

sundaybottle · « **Reply #57 on:** September 15, 2007, 03:04:21 AM »

Andrew Reynolds and Bobby Worrest avoid it nicely too. Fuck Worrest rips with style.

Lobstermobster · « **Reply #58 on:** September 21, 2007, 12:06:16 AM »

it makes me so pissed when i see a pro that cant push switch, im not pro and i can push in whatever fucking stance im in. i think if they can spend all that time trying to get gnar they should at least spend some time to learn how to not be a totally douche bag and quit pushing mongo.

mgc · « **Reply #59 on:** September 26, 2007, 06:26:33 PM »

I push mongo switch, i'm trying not to but when i'm not thinking about it, it's just more natural
