Mongo?

[Rasta4eyes]

Mongolitis is a crippling disorder that causes people to push with their front foot. Its also been called dickfoot. Its a little embarrassing but I am a dickfooter. Thats probably why I skate pools, ramps, and bowls.
That way I can hide my illness. There have been a few pros who were mongo, Bill Danforth is one I can think of. Does anyone know any others? Are you a dickfooter?

[Impossible]

Im Mongo.

It's not that hard to quit man...I went on skating mongo for a year until I decided that it was time to stop the habit. I've stopped pushing mongo for almost a year now.

[DarkHawk2-2]

tom penny, arto saari, kareem campbell, etc. were mongo! so its a disorder huh? its just a step to learning.

[NIGhtMAre]

Im not mongo :) my friend is though.

[Skate or Try]

Its easy to quit, i can skate any stance, mongo or regular naturally (hmm not trick wise), but i still skate mongo.

[oldscoolelement]

just cuz u skate mongo dsoesnt mean ur limited to vert. i know people who skate stupid footed (thats what i cal it) and theyre better then me, its just a different styl,e i do it when pushin switch. i dont know why so many people think its like a mortal sin.

[NIGhtMAre]

this kid is goofy and when he rides he goes to nollie. He doesn't know how to olle while riding.

I can't skate mongo, I can kinda skate mongo if I'm trying switch but I don't think so. Mongo isn't that bad it just looks really ****ing ugly when you push so hard and can't get speed, I see that everyday at the skatepark, they are mongo and can't get enough speed to do some tricks so mongo can limit some stuff since, you need more time to adjust for feet for a trick.

I'm mongo. Not pushing the issue of switching yet, but I might.

I wasn't talking about rasta! iw as talking bout that kid who broke my trucks. That fat one. Don't get so worked up.

Your right i can't kickflip :( don't rub it in!

[kikflipkid90980]

i push mongo, i am only twelve and ive been skatin for four years and i still am comfortable wit mongo

[BakerStencil]

I think its up to you waht you want to do if its giving you problem then switch but do whatever is comfortable.

[NIGhtMAre]

agreed.

[jambi]

Nothin wrong with Mongo, I skate that way and I'm faster than my friends who don't skate that way, it does'nt matter which way you push, but it matters if you land or not.--peace--

[atticus]

uh.. i was mongo. switched to to goofy

[reggie_bar]

im not mongo, but when skate switch i push mongo cause my right foot is stronger at pushing(im regular). It helps alot.

[sugar muppet]

i just don't push mongo at all, not even switch, i think i looks ugly, but if you find it easier, then fair enough. skating is about being comfortable and having fun.

[Zac--]

Yeah. It does look ugly and it makes you look kind of stupid(no offense to anyone who pushes it)

[Licketysplit]

lol im tryin not too push mongo switch but its so hard to get comfortable with

[sk8nomad]

i skate regular mongo is practicly the same, who cares?

[Zac--]

Nobody cares. It just looks bad. It's not that hard to quit if you haven't been skating for a while. I quit pushing mongo when I was 1 and a half years skating and it took me about three weeks to get the mongo habit off.

[Skate or Try]

yup zac quiting is easy, and it means you got a real good switch push as well in you make the converstion

[R-dude]

I never push mongo not even switch, When I first tride to ride switch I pushed mongo but I hated adjusting my foot and tried to do it non-mongo witch I found more comfertable so I just push with my right foot at switch (i'm goofy footed)

[Licketysplit]

I envy you

[tryhard_skater]

yeh, mongo sucks. my friend pushes mongo and cuz of him every1 els on his street does too:(

[Concrete Surfer]

i skate regular. if i were mongo i wouldnt care how it looked, as long as i could skate good.
