You literally HAVE to switch to normal pushing. It will basically mess up your style really bad if you continue to push mongo.

You'll have alot more balance and you can go faster if you push regular. It's ok to push mongo switch though.

It's when you pedal with your front foot.

I push mongo, but other than the speed and sometimes balance issues, I skate fine. A bit inconsistant at times, but fine nonetheless.

Plus, I'd rather be working on learning new shit, than working on learning to push correctly.

I guess I'll try regular though... :\

Ok this is my general opinion on "mongo" skating. If you are a mongo skater and it feels better to push mongo, then learn how to do it right. I have been pushing mongo for 6 years. My skating style has never effected my tricks/scores in competitions. If you know how to use your unique pushing style it is great tool. Learn to put your foot in the exact position for your next trick when putting your foot back on the griptape (after reaching your desired speed that is). Once you have it down then people arent gonna talk shit to you when you beat their asses in a comp.
