Whats up?
So pushing mongo is a very common practice, especially for people just starting to skate. When I got started, I pushed mongo for years until finally fixing it. Since I came across an opportunity to help others with pushing mongo, I decided to make a video explaining why its not a good habit and how to easily and quickly get out of the habit! If you are pushing mongo, here is the short video (3 and a half minutes) on how you can switch your habit in a day! If you know someone who pushing mongo, feel free to share this video with them and help them break the habit! It gives more stability and balance, and makes setting up for tricks much faster when you push regularly! Hope this is helpful!

Everyone agreed we needed some muscle so I added the menacing look to the squad we'll see if it makes a difference.

"mongo" is an ableist term. Right up there with the R word, which you dudes have no problem with so I guess carry on.

What are you whining about exactly?
Wait, nevermind.

Back to the topic here.. Anyone here start off pushing mongo and were able to switch their style? How did it help you?

Honestly I think our chap is looking wonderful in there. You really provided him with a family first thing upon sight, that's very adorable of you.

I started of gnarring people, but you had me switch to kooking. It helps with seeing updates in the this thread

suck a payphone and fuck of
-
that's pretty insensitive..
mongo isn't a choice, it's how you're born
you can pretend, but you know deep down you love the mongo and it will come out when you're drunk at a memorial day picnic twenty years down the line shattering the familial illusion you've used as a coping mechanism

I pushed mongo for a long time and corrected it late in the game but since then I've felt untrue to myself. I am quite simply not #livingmybestlife and can't even get out of bed some days, knowing I sold out my chicken foot. Fuck you.
-
I never could skate mongo even though i tried. Many of the best skaters at the time pushed mongo for switch tricks.
Can't be any tougher than a normal person (nonmongo) learning to push switch. Just takes time and persistence.
-
I don’t think I’ve made one non-mongo switch push in my life and I’m ok with that.
-
I don’t push mongo when I’m going to do a fakie or switch trick. I push regular like I would for a normal trick, but once I’m at the right speed I sort of just hop up and slide my left foot back and put my right foot at the front.
The push isn’t mongo but getting on the board is mongo-ish.

I do this mongo-hop as well.

I disagree about flat.
Push up hill

dropping in is mongo

Is this whole forum board full of trolls? Or do you guys actually skate too? Pushing with your back foot on the board makes it way harder to set up for tricks quickly, messes up balance while pushing and makes it more likely to trip over the board while running up and pushing. Tryna help some people who skate with something commonly talked about, but overlooked when learning. I know it helped me a lot to not push mongo anymore

Front Foot of Fury has Colvin Power, Danforth Energies, Stranger Symbiosis, Dressen Danger. The Dill Dangle? C'mon. Please take your hate elsewhere. There's no room for your thinly diguised bigotry here. Gall Bless.

"If you want to stop pushing mongo, stop pushing mongo" amazing insight.

hahah I almost took that seriously and YouTubed all of those names and after finding no skateboarding results, I realized you're messin around

It's nicknames he just used but you should be able to recognize who they are refering to (they all have their right last name) and effectively look them up if you're especially interested in mongo pushing.
Also many people like Ali Boulala used to push mongo for years and only later fixed their stance. I didn't watch your video so maybe you already covered that.
-
I was able to quit pushing mongo pretty much immediately once I found out it was frowned upon, but I totally disagree with the whole faster setup thing.
I pop off the tip of my tail, so it's really uncomfortable to setup my front foot with my back foot like that. I'm pushing, putting my back foot on the board (usually over the bolts), setting my front foot, then setting my back foot. Pushing mongo (which I don't actually do anymore) I can push, set my front foot, then set my back foot.
Never really thought about it much. Probably why I suck at quick set-ups. Are you guys setting your front foot with your back foot already 100% set in ollie position? I could do it, but it just doesn't feel right, especially for something like a heel flip or varial heel.

Sooo.
I blew my acl dec 2016. I was forced to learn to push switch after pushing sw Mongoloid since I started in the 80s.
There’s a hill outside that’s not too big and I also used the bridge that goes over the tracks to the park.
Pushing up hill will give you balance if you slip backwards the board will come back to you. It’s also like lifting weights.
I skated between spots switch
To the store etc for an entire winter
Today people ask what stance are you? It makes me happy.
If it worked for me at age 39 it will work for everyone.

I'm starting to believe now that OP is serious. Is it possible, in this age of hyper information, for a grown man to have recently fallen off the turnip truck?
-
I believe that pushing mongo in the beginning helps being a more natural switch skater later on.

Something I observed since I discovered the scooterers.
They all push mongo. Every kid I’ve taken off a scooter and put on a board goes to push mongo.
Look at grosso’s kid. He gave him a scooter.

I like Grosso that much more now.

I got punched by the older skaters everytime i pushed mongo so eventually i started pushing regular.

1. figure out which leg is your front one (left for regs, right for goofy).
2. remove your shoe and using your front leg, kick a brick wall, driving your big toe straight into the surface and perhaps breaking it, at least injuring it significantly.
3. continue skateboarding every day despite the pain and discomfort. the need to keep that toe immobile over the next month will cure what ails you, guaranteed.
