You can almost land lazers and you still push mongo some of the time, Derrick?
It can't be THAT hard to quit it.

Does it really matter which way you push? If your showing people up your showing people up.

I occasionaly push mongo when I am stanfing on the right side of my board and I don't feel like moving to the other side.

Don't completely unlearn any pushing style, you'll need both in some situations, like one sided thin runups etc...

No it doesn't. It looks dumb if people can't push mongo right. Some can push mongo and have it look fine. If you can show people up it doesn't matter.

What's up with you and showing people up?
You should never show anybody up, we're all at different levels, no need to show off.

I wasn't saying it like that. I just dont understand why people **** on people for pushing mongo. People are usually like oh he pushes mongo he probably sucks. I was just saying Derrick is good at skating and if people try and make fun of him for pushing mongo he could just do something they cant and theyd realize it doesn't matter if you push mongo, if your good your good. Pushing isnt really a big deal.

Would someone care to explain what's bad about it, never mind, there is no explanation, because there's nothing wrong with it.

Mongo just looks sloppy, like in a line, per say.

Mongo ruins lines for me even if it's switch mongo.

Derrick just stop pushing mongo and when you feel like pushing mongo go switch?

Mongo is a way you push, not a stance. So you're regular.

The way I look at it is...whenever you start skating....thats what you are lols...I started regular...so thats what I am....I'm not nearly as good switch as I am regular....but I guess like anything it just takes a hella practice to get better :icon_woow
