he doesnt push mongo, he pushes mongo when he skates switch. lots of pro skaters do that, but most of them just learn to push normal switch.

there is not a pro on the planet that pushes mongo. if you ever see one doing it, theyre skating switch.
its usually the tech skater guys that do it. and for some reason, the dc/aws teams seem to do it most, like the guys you guys are listing.

Most people push mongo when skating switch. You might be confused watching Stevie W. since he does most of his tricks switch. It's ill.

the one switch shove revert he does in a line in the dc video is sooo awesome. its just flatground and all, but he pops so high and its crazy.
FIGHT!

^Uh well.. It's common sense to me not to push mongo. Like I wanted to skate because I saw skaters do it. I watched them and then I just taught myself. It was a bitch to teach myself how to kickflip and heelflip though. I think It really helped me with skating and without though. ya know.
the one switch shove revert he does in a line in the dc video is sooo awesome. its just flatground and all, but he pops so high and its crazy.
Mang.. Kudos to him. I love watching him skate pretty much anything. He adds a charmingly ghetto style to everything while keeping it nice and clean.

yea mongoeing sucks i wish i could break my habit but it seems so natural now. sometimes i can skate the 'right way' but it doesnt feel right.

if you skate the right way enough it becomes natural
like i learned to ollie regular only to discover that i was goofy
so i learned em goofy and now switch ones dont feel right

I can push either way comfortably. My only problem is riding switch comfortably.

Mongo is ugly, and harder to skate with, being that you have to switch sides quickly. It takes longer for you to set up tricks. Most new and up coming pros and AMs, DO NOT PUSH MONGO. Regular or goofy. I know for beginners it is a habit, but its sketchy. Pushing mongo switch is dying quickly, and fast.

there is not a single pro/am or up coming pro/am that pushes mongo. there just isnt.
its not like.. hm, i dont know if i want to push mongo or not, when you start skating. you push. there is one right way. and mongo is a wrong way. sure, it WORKS, but its wrong. yes, wrong.

its like in america, youre supposed to drive on the right side of the road. and driving on the left is wrong.
