Everyone can do what they want but it doesnt mean they should. But for real it is a good option, i personally just hate watching mongo. And it isnt too hard to fix.

mongo is where you push with your front foot, right?
if so, then i push mongo. I never learned the other way, it just came naturally.

I am saying balanced as far as muscles go, so you don't have an overly strong pushing leg while your other leg is weak.

I think everyone naturally has a power leg/ arm though which is why certain people use a certain leg. it sounds like your trying to say that everyone should be amberdxerous or however you spell it. i get you tho.

The more ambidextrous the better! I am speaking from experience here because my right leg is still way stronger (like, visibly) than my left leg just from my early years of scooters. My left leg has never caught up.

For the mongo thing, it really is not a big deal to switch it up. Think about it as an instant boost to your style. Sure, if you need to use your front foot to get speed for that twenty stair no one is going to trip out, but if you are doing a lot of lines it will become painful to watch. It is just like learning tricks the opposite way, it takes time and feels strange at first but it is worth it.

i push wit both feet but mostly my right. and im left foot forward.

to me style matters most wen just flowing around the park. i get tired of doing tricks near the end of a sesh and i just flow around the park usually for the last 30 mintues to an hour. honestly thats wen im having the most fun just looking for new lines or working up courage to hit a hip or certain quarter higher then i hav b4.

Yea i hardly push i pump thats what eveyone should learn to do in park instead of pushing in general if you can but i understand you have to push in street and some park beacuse its not really possible to pump without any getting any speed from dropping in or going down a slant.

Which brings up another good point: start lines going fast enough that you don't have to push in between tricks. Even the smoothest pushing takes away from a line.

I think pushing speed (not mongo) looks good in raw street lines. I mean if the rider is going really fast. And speed is again new point to add to style.

^ True. Unnecessary pushing or pushing to slow down is a joke, but Busenitz style, full speed pushing, shirt off lines are rad.
