Your thoughts on pushing mongo

[David N.]

its a scooter...
we don't push we scoot around.

I think the only time you should push mongo is if you are riding switch and you haven't gotten the opposite footwork down yet but even then it still looks kind of gross.

 

[Brian Boston]

Im mongo when switch... i think KC pushing mongo and its so ugly. Please don't do it

 

[Ostronomer]

I'm Mongo Always have been, I only push reg when I'm just cruising around. There's no way I can get enough speed from pushing regular for some tricks, mongo it is. I geuss I'm fucked up with alot of my tricks though, but I don't give a shit cuz atleast I don't ride ski style or watev you fags call it. haha

 

[Derek Scootz]

i push switch mongo and i dont see anything wrong with it. whatever is comfortable and can get you the best speed etc. you should go with. who cares what other people think?!

 

[Slasher]

I push mongo.I think it should be a standard scootering stance because in skootering, one uses their back foot morely, or at least i do, to do my whips and to hop higher...and pushing mongo, i already have my back foot ready set in place...i just think its more reasonable...i dont give a fuck about how goofy it makes me look...oh well, to each his own

 

[kraM]

yer man happens to me all the time eh..
but umm im guess im trying to push with my backfoot. if you see my vids i push mongo at random times. thats why i get shit from skaters bt hey i myt change soon.

 

[Jake Carlyon]

i push with backfoot because its easier to put back in place before the trick. if i take off my front foot i usually dont have time to put it back into position. i dont know about you guys but my feet go different positing for different tricks.
i dont really take much notice if people push mongo, it doesnt look the best if you stretch the push right out if you know what i mean..

 

[Jake_H]

i push with my back foot then front then back then front so it looks like im skipping

this kid chad can do that really fast

i push mongo cuz its more comfortable and ppl dont yell at me
a lot of good ppl push mongo

 

[dan barrett]

Yes i push mongo and i have alot more controll with it when i'm at a park. It's the way you push. Just don't judge anyone on the way they push, PLEASE. It's not really there fault, it's the way they like riding and the way they do ride.

 

[CodyChirichiello]

A while ago after realizing that pushing mongo looks really ugly I had to switch how I pushed on a skateboard, so now on a skateboard I push normal in both my natural and switch stance which moved with me to scootering so now I push non-mongo but if that foot gets tired I just switch stances.

I'd say that pushing mongo makes a big diffrence when it comes to stance and the style of a rider. The leg you don't push with has to be solidly placed on the deck, while the other one has to be placed in such way that you can take it off the deck comfortably. This results in varying the stance, as no one who pushes mongo rides ski, semi ski or heel-over-brake stance. Mongo people also tend to kick their whips with the front foot an catch them with the back one at 270 degrees.

 

[Steezeman]

i switch whenever one leg gets tired

Yeah, and on a scooter it doesn't matter that much. On a skateboard riding mongo is dumb, both in looks and because it makes it hard to go fast and turn.

yeah, i ride semi ski, and somtimes with a foot over the brake, and you can push mongo easily enough. You just have to do some quick arranging with your feet before you do the trick.

Even though you said atleast you do... i would use my front foot to do like a one footed whip instead of my back. But thats just me. Its different for everyone.

 

[crank foler]

i ride ski so i guess i really cant be mongo...but when i catch whips and stuff i land goofy and i do push with my front foot so i dunno. but besides that it really doesnt bother me when people push mongo or regular.

 

[Rasmus Roerbaek]

I havn't ever ride mongo, but if i show some videos of mongo riders, to my homies (skaters), they are just saying GEEK!, no matter of the tricks... anyway I think it looks better

 

[steve leone]

yeah i only do it when one leg gets tired too.

 

[BabboonScoot]

mongo is wack and sketchy. i only push mongo if i am traveling long distances and my back leg gets tierd

 

[farmboy uk]

im a mongo hater
