Random question, gonna sound like a noob, but I'm curious - why do so many of these guys push mongo? Is there an advantage in DH to pushing mongo over regular, or is it just personal taste?
@mosley59 Each race is different, some start single push and some start unlimited push. For the single push their is a slight advantage pushing mongo, you can get a lot more force out of the single push. Also if you doing a long distance push on a longboard, traveling, it's really nice to be able to push regular, switch, mongo, and switch mongo. A lot easier on the legs
@FretsOnFire00 Thanks for that! So if it was an unlimited push race (such as the Maryhill Festival of Speed, or Newton's Playground), would riders still push mongo, since it would accelerate them faster due to the increased force? It's just something I never really thought about until I watched this video.
the tune to Beruit - A Sunday Smile is playing at the end of the video, but it's not them.

@mosley59 Honestly unlimited push turn into such chaos i really don't think it matters. Whoever could push harder for longer will come out in front.
