switch mongo is a staple of street skating, nerds. durrrrp.

for real, sometimes the spot is too tight and you have to improvise. plain and simple. i view it as a means to an end regarding the trick.

people who skated a ton of ledges in the 90s have a pass on the switch mongo i believe. as for this day and age, i don't think anyone who hasn't been granted that grandfathered pass from the 90s can really pull it off.

it ain't era exclusive, i guess i'm grandfathered in on your account, but big deal. switch is switch, skating isn't precision. for me it makes the shit more believable. when Mouse dropped I emulated the switch push ala Mariano, skating to school everyday switch, but the mongo take is good for lines and tight spots or the "I don't give a fuck, I just skate" mentality. Mother fuckers these days want to over complex-ify every detail. Just do what you do. fuck...

no one has said gino because everyone knows ginos got a smooth switch mongo,
paul rodriguez pushes mongo in an ambiguously way thats hard to tell he is doing so.

starting skating mongo 9 years ago helped me push normally when going switch,
although transitioning from mongo to normal was harsh from my experience.

Koston used to push switch mongo

To me, mongo is mongo. I try to push reg switch. It becomes natural after a while.

At best, pushing mongo looks acceptable; at worst, mongo looks so damn ugly.

and there is nothing 'swaggin' about pushing mongo
