Well speaking for myself I default to switch mongo whenever I'm not concentrating - I guess that is my natural steez unfortunatley; I'd far rather not!
I think it was partly because no-one really skated switch for the first few years I skated - boards didn't even have noses; people were used to skating "fakie" - it was backwards at the time which is why people pushed mongo when skating that way. Alas that stuck with me even after I learned to skate switch etc!
Fpr me, at the time, two of the most amazing things about GM's mouse part was the way he pushed switch and that tiny little scoopy switch backside he does in between bank to bench tricks; I couldn't believe how natural it seemed!
Yeah same here sorta. I skated a good 3 years before even MEETING another skater in junior high, then I learned ollies and kickflips and switch wasn't even a concept to me, and by the time I started dabbling with switch and fakie I was way set in my left-foot-on-board push, and I was still pretty young and there wasn't crazy pressure to never push mongo.
I never really notice when someone pushes reg or mongo when skating switch, so long as it looks natural. There's nothing worse than someone doing gnarly tricks, but struggling not to push mongo, just to not be made fun of. Seriously, a natural mongo switch push beats a shitty switch push anyday. It's a real dumb politic, I think.
