Mongo looks disgusting. Oh and for the moron who asked if you skate mongo or just switch you should hang yourself you piece of trash, I laugh at everyone who skates mongo cuz they suck so bad. I know people that can do the best tricks but they make it look terrible pushing gay *** mongo. It makes me sick. Anyone who skates mongo should stop skating it or just straight out quit cuz you're not going to be going anywhere.

i'm with hullo but not to the same extent. Mongo works for some, and it's just what feels comfy for some people. It did for me. It took like 2 weeks to really break the habit. But mongo does tend to look scetchy. Regular looks better, and gives you more time to get in place, so reg. pushers can do more with short run-ups. Mongo may not look as good, but the only effect it has on your skating is your push off and how fast you can get your speed up right away. since your hips and lower body has to be turned more to push mongo it's takes (even if just a second) longer to get in 'position' so it's harder to to short run ups. Because of the way you are pushing the board you don't get as much momentum as you get whilst pushing regular. It's all a matter of physics. If you push mongo, I advise and encourage you to start trying to break the habit.
but hey look on the bright side mongoers! You're already Regular pushing... in switch! ;)

whatever dude, i am pretty damn good at all of the stances. probably the one that i am least good at is just skating switch with no mongo, but i can still rock it.

dude, if ur good enough u can make mongo skating look bad***. i think that it's better that u learn to skate regular first then when u get bored of that u learn to skate mongo.
Jayrod
05-31-2003, 05:42 AM
Yeah, I skate Mongo Regular but I can skate smoother fakie than pretty much anyone else in town. Mongo has a few advantages, but I do wish I would've learned Regular Regular because it looks nicer, and like someone mentioned above, is better for short runups.
Skate or Try

yeah i skated regular until my bastard friend said i was doing it wrong and mongo was right....oh well that was a long time ago

I like skated Mongo for a real long time and then some one told me my tricks took longer to learn cos of my stance. When I switched to Regular stance I found It really hard but now I am a good Skater thanks to this kid at a skatepark tellin me about my stance.

yo i agree with hullo mongo is ugly i used to skate mongo but regular looks way tech, and i sk8 better reg. But just "do your own thing"
chickaboarder13
06-07-2003, 09:31 PM
Zac is an awesome skater. get off his *** about it.
Ugly is a bit too strong of a word for mongo.. prolly just 'sloppy' i'd think. but it's all opinion you know. so whatever you choose will go.

yess i finaly figured out what mongo is and when i also figured out that i skate mongo when switch it looks gay but its easier for me to do it that way
chickaboarder13
06-08-2003, 04:04 AM
yah mongo can be easier for some. was for me. this is going to sound gay but what some people say helps change that is find a scooter and ride it around pushing reg. and after awhile it'll just come natural.
Or just do what i did and push reg. even tho it feels weird. it'll feel natural eventually. but do whatever works for you! be you! do what you do! be you! nothing's better than dr.pepper! ;-)

06-08-2003, 07:04 AM
i started off skating mongo but it looks retarded now i skate normal when regualr and because i started off on mongo it makes it easier to ride normal when switch to if that makes sense, its heaps harder skating mongo when u are going up to something coz u have to adjust your back foot
moon monkey
06-09-2003, 07:08 AM
if u all think that mongo is ugly then i guess u haven't seen too many people that make mongo look bada$$. i've seen peolple that make regular look boring because they are so bada$$ at mongo. i have also seen more people good at mongo than not good at it. but if u can only skate mongo and not regular then that isn't that good.

'find a scooter and ride it around pushing reg."
anyone who takes that advice needs to be beaten.
friends dont let friends fruitscoot, ever. even if its just for "practising" skating.
fruitscooting is, by far, THE lamest thing ever. its for fat little kids with no balance. or pussies who are too afraid to step on a board.

haha friutscoot
whats the name for snowboarders and bikers???

I just found out what Mongo was and I was like: :-12: OMFG! How can ANYONE skate this way?! But to all of you who skate mongo (switch not included) do what you want to do but, consider the weight of the advantages over the disavantages.
