  • pushing regular gives you better balance and more time to set up a trick.

  • well sir. ive pushed mongo for like 8 years. I do, and i make it look good and no one gives me shit about it. i can push regular. but mongo just always felt better. besides when you do a steezy tre down a 5 stair noone care how you pushed to get their lol

  • fucking ginger shouldnt be aloud to skate

  • despite the fact that skating is all style, the reason you push regular is because its more stable and you can set up for a trick faster after pushing. kick the bad habits or you will get shit from everyone.

  • Pushing mongo limits the way you skate pushing regular and switch is easy to learn its all in your head im goofy and i can push switch all it is really is commitment haha

  • Well theres nothing really wrong with it, but as @niggasintraining said, you'll look retarded as hell.

  • ok i will tell you its a long story here we go .... they end up like you!

  • i skate mongo yeah it sucks but..... is is a deseas yeah hell yeah...

  • Let me tell you what all the bullshit is about. Everyone has their comfortable way of skateboarding , i started out pushing mongo in regular stance , i realized mongo was REALLY good for Balance. Going down huge hills , grinding , etc. Pushing normally , is easier to set up tricks in many sequences as to pushing mongo you have to adjust to a trick. Over the years you'll understand if you keep skateboarding , i love both equally cause they're both really awesome stances. Don't see why people tal

  • You got some nerve sayin that on youtube

  • It can't really ruin your chances of being a good skater, however when you are trying to set up for an ollie or kickflip or whatever, it creates more steps for you to take than you would if you were pushing normally. If you are more skilled and practice, then you can still be a great skater, but it's harder to time correctly.

  • mongo skater skate one way "normal" skaters skate another way. get over it.

  • i push mongo only when i go for fakie tricks

  • acdc - problem child from dirty deeds done dirt cheap in the background :D

    

  • It's skating man, stye is EVERYTHING! Since the beginning, Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta, Peggy Oki, Steve Alba and Steve Olson. Look at these guys skate, these are the Gods, the guys who began it all, the ones who set the precedent. Each skater should have their own style. Being able to watch someone do a trick is one thing but if they do it like a robot, why would you wanna watch it? Learn to push with both feet, it will make you a better all round skater.

  • dude thank you i push mongo an i think im good

  • Comment removed

  • i gaves u bad habits.and its hard to set up for tricks so i really think u should push regular

  • Rodney Mullen doesn't have style...he has tech. For example Gonz, Natas have style but may not be as tech. As for the mongo, there has been pro skaters that push mongo...like Bill Danforth, Randy Colvin. Who cares how you push as long as you are having fun. That's what wrong with skating now, it's all look what I can do and how my hat is on my head and how my clothes are...that's crap.

  • 1. hard to maneuver and make turns

    2. If you hit something(like a rock)the board could fly out under you

    3. NOT safe, and can become a bad habit in the long run!

    And mongo can look cool at times, depending who the person is mongo...ing. lol

  • mongo skaters suck because it builds improper muscles and coordination for doing tricks. and it looks noobish.

  • haha i used to push mongo but i couldnt get sponsored so i had to learn to push regular

  • becuase it has nothign to do with how you look its sloppy tasteless and not proper and the people who invented skating sould rollover in thier graves to know how people desecrate their sport.......THATS WHY

  • @MisterCbassThePunk asshole

    i dont push mongo but still you dont have to be a dick about it.

  • @SympleLyfe i wasnt being a dick i was just anwering your questions

  • Cut your hair faggot.

  • @buttbuttwhat1 This was awhile back and I cut it. just stfu pussy

  • @thealabamaman

    what is a pussy?

  • @buttbuttwhat1 thats a idiot kid

  • It's only okay to push mongo if you want to learn switch tricks without learning to master to switch push immediately... either way, you're going to not push mongo any more. Also, mongo makes you look like a fucking jackass.

  • It makes you look fucking retarded.

  • its not the style its just the timing to get ready for a trick :p people who say it ruins style are dumbasses that call a curb a 1 stair xP

  • Okay, i used to skate normal,. i now skate mongo because of my fucked up achilles tendon... What the hell is so bad with mongo pushers? i still shit on alot of regulars. who cares how you skate. its all for fun. stop the fucking criticism. In my opinion the guys who criticize are the ones that dont do shit.

  • @Nick3231231 i agree nick

  • its bad because you have to shift your feet akwardly

  • its like clean kickflips and sketchy kickflips i dont push mongo but idc

  • You look like an english sheepdog.. Would it kill you to get the hair out of your eyes

  • I don't have a clue about skating, but shouldn't you push with your most dominant foot? Most people are right-handed, wont you get more speed?

    Correct me if I am wrong.

  • hahaha mongo sucks

  • @TCMTroll Not trying to Troll you or anything but foot placement dosent determine how sketchy you skate, i was 6 when i started skating and no one told me how to skate so i just got on and i guess mongo is how i rode from here on out, I do clean Tre's and Kickflips's, its how you have balance and stability on the board, its the board and you not the foot and the board....

  • @kcforlife3 yeah exactly the only problem is when you do tricks, you kind of have to balance on the other foot. that is what makes it hard.i mongo and im proud.

  • @theEddievanhalen Exactly Mongo is more comfortable and pushing reggy is just not comfortable for me :P , It really shouldnt matter how we ride a board, everythings changed, Cant do shit anymore without getting ridiculed over it, People who DONT push mongo should'nt talk shit i guarentee 70% of the people here saying Mongo is gay probaly cant even ollie clean....

  • I THINK PUSHING MONGO IS LESS COMFORTABLE SO EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD FEEL THE SAME AND NOT DO IT. YOU CANT PROVE IT BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT RUINS YOUR STYLE. EVERYONE HAS TO SKATE A CERTAIN WAY OR YOU LOSE YOUR SKATING PRIVILAGES

    stevie williams = push mongo.....explain that faggots

  • i got sick of getting made fun ofand today i tryed regular and its hard. i guess ill have to learn

  • hahaha myspace

    

  • YES PUSHING MONGO RUINS YOUR STYLE. IT LOOKS RETARDED. AND IS ACTUALLY ALOT LESS COMFORTABLE THEN PUSHING REGULAR. I USED

    TO PUSH MONGO BUT ISTOPPED AND IM SOOOO GLAD I DID.

  • Mongo = stupid = mongo

  • his father was a mop

  • im not hating on mongo if u push mongo to me it makes it harder to skate because you have to bring your front foot on and move ur back foot if u can do it well than do it but u said you suck so try pushing regular i skate goofy and people talk shit about that too so keep doing what you like

  • but rodney mullen dont push mongo... .... yeah exactly

  • are you kidding me ?

  • Jesus. I probably suck compared to some of you and yes I push mongo, but it seems to me that me, other mongo pushers, and REAL skaters are the only ones that realize skatings about doing and learning tricks not about arguing over fu*king feet on the ground. If you can do a trick mongo or regular its the same trick in the end.

  • I wouldn't say it looks stupid, I'd say it is inefficient. You slow down and turn in an unaerodynamic way which is not good for travel, but ultimately any way you feel comfortable skating is good. You just feel natural that way I know. Just like I'm goofy footed but right handed. It's just natural feeling.

  • Nothing is wrong with pushing mongo, I push mongo but do I give a shit ?

    like seriously if it's comfortable it works ppl say that mongo is sketchy but if it's more comfortable than it's probably less sketchy. Peace out mongo riders!

  • pushing mongo takes longer to set up your feet and shit its just not a good habit to get into

  • @ih8jon yeh plus when you put your front foot forwards onto the board its so unstable

  • He's Ugly Blaaaaa

  • I push Mongo and I've been sponsored for more then 3years now, that's more then a lot of people can say, but i would suggest you switch once you start doing switch flips ect.

  • You push mongo, you're obviously a faggot.

  • skateboarding is all about having fun, no matter how you push... it's rare to see skaters pushing mongo (not talking about switchstance, which is a particular case), because it's more comfortable to push the normal way (kick foot on the upper side of the deck and back foot on the ground).

  • @TheWoodpusherforlife nothing, besides the fact that every trick you land will be considered sloppy if your pushing mongo its not that hard to learn to push right and when you learn, it will feel much better to land tricks

  • get the hair outta yo eyes an maybe youll see why pushing with the WRONG foot looks funny...

  • go skate. its pussys like you that give skateboarders a bad name, instead of actually skating you would rather sit around whining about how dudes who can really shred down on you because you push mongo. kids like you dont actually care about shredding, you just like thinking your a "skater" you dont actually like skating. fag.

  • @wileycoyote802 no... you're just DURRR STUPID

  • @wileycoyote802 Thank you. I push mongo, yes it may look stupid, but when I beat every kid in Skate I verse, it's not so funny. People shouldn't give a shit what stance they skate. It's posers who care about what stance they are and make fun of kids for mongo.

  • i USED to push mongo. now i watch old videos of when i did and i looked like a retard!!!! FUCK MONGO

  • Thanks, Rupert Grint.

  • i don't even skate [ not my thing ] but I like to watch people skate, but now every video I go to I see mongo, so I had to figure out what the hell it was . . . I'm not a skater but I've seen people skate really well "mongo .

  • shut the fuck up mongo

  • Dont be mad cuz you suck at skating mongo pushers.. just learn to push like a big boy.. i see you guys pushing mongo at the bottom of bowls and shit.. truly gay

  • mongo for flat ground longboarding is stupid because of how much energy it takes, but mongo anywhere else doesnt really matter.

  • @GreenHandMovies It's all in the technique. I started out pushing mongo, but learned how to push regular. Now I can push switch with my back foot and mongo regular while I longboard. Increases your pushing range a lot when you can use both feet. And flatground longboarding is all about endurance.

  • everything is wrong about mongo sk8ers

  • I skate mongo,I surf mongo and that is the only way to surf.I surfed before I skated so it is just my way to skate. In fact in the "old days" we used to laugh at skaters who pushed with their rear foot.The shit is just going full circle. When you consider the physics of bringing your foot from behind you around to the front & if your coordination sucks it can be difficult for some to bring their rear foot around to the front that is why mongo is cool..it's harder to do.

  • I think it's much more important to get that hair out of your eyes and go skate.

    Do whatever the *uck you want!

  • Skateboarding is not about fashion dicks!!

  • People r fuckin stupid I push Mongo and I'm better than most people and it's like for me not to push Mongo Is like u try to write a 5000 word paper with ur opposite writing hand we just can't so back the fuxk off

  • @Epicfilms4 no what your thinking of with the right and left hand thing is is goofy and regular mongo is a stupid way to push it makes you so unstable when pushing plus you have to push your front foot forwards on a moving board which increases the chance of injury its like writing with no thumb

  • @Epicfilms4 wrong i started skating pushing mongo and i learned not pushing mongo like 7 years ago and i never push mongo unless i REALLY gotta get speed to clear some stairs or whatever.

  • @Epicfilms4 - It's not a matter of being bad or not. It's just downright stupid to push mongo, you fuck over your central mass making it easier to fall and harder to gain speed.

  • @Flam3o who cares i mean pushing mongo my friend said is really rare becase almost all famous skaters like tony hawk dont push mongo

  • @Epicfilms4 you can go back you retard

  • @Epicfilms4 I agree dude, I just push mongo naturally.

    I have 100% control that way other then when I try regular when I have like 50%

  • I may be an asshole.. but when girls see me skate.. they wanna fuck me.. basicly not an option for mongo pushers.. just sayin..im trying to help.. just dont push mongo.. its not like im raciest agenst mongo pushers.. im just saying you make skateboarding look bad.. try coming from a college town where nothing but stupid drunk chad bros ride longboards and push mongo.. its RETARDED!!!

  • @TheBrrp If anyone's stupid, its you thinking that being opinionated toward skating styles is "racist". Looks like if anyone needs to go to collage, its you. Now stop typing long ass explanations, no one cares about your views.

  • @JakeMasterbait i didnt litteraly mean raciest you dumbshit its a metaphore... and if you dont care about my fucking opinion then why would you read it and reply to it? i give a shut about this video becasue the kid asked a question whats wrong with mongo pushing... and i stated my opinion.. its like owning a left handed hockey stick and playing right handed.. you look like a fucking retard.. get some flipflops and push mongo you fruits

  • @TheBrrp "when girls see me skate..they wanna fuck me" really? anymore immature? i push mongo and i bet i can kick ur ass in S.K.A.T.E. no challenge bro...and plus mongo lookin at in physics way gives u more power per push and gives u better ballance post-push so put that in ur crack pipe and puff it c(=

  • Jeffwonsong

  • Hey miley cirus cut your fucking hair

  • if you ride a longboard you have no style dipshit.. get a regular board and stop pushing mongo.. it looks lame.. or as nerds call it its "noob" and to answer your question EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH MONGO PUSHERS!! dont do it.. youll never get laid if a girl sees you doing that..

  • @TheBrrp Still making yourself look like an asshole.

  • Get a haircut

  • I skate regular AND mongo. So I have the best of both worlds. I guess skating regular gives you a little bit of extra balance, especially if your going fast. And most people think it looks cooler, but thats nothing important. If you want to skate regular, it really isnt hard to learn. Its easier than you think.

  • mongo pushers make it harder for them selves to do tricks my brother pushes mongo and he ollies the fakie way for him im like WTF

  • @SkateWars101 That has nothing to do with him pushing mongo

  • @DrRoryMagowan thats what a lot of people do

  • well obviously you do care, otherwise you wouldnt of made this video

  • it messes up your balance if your trying to push fast!

  • Because People like you make it look bad

  • Search it, Rob Dyrdek and Eric Koston push mongo half the time they skate!

  • It does not matter, only dicks care about how they push the skateboard. If you can do a trick while pushing mongo it means your a better skater, because it is harder to get your feet in the right places before you pull the trick.

  • well mongo takes your front foot away from the board, an makes you have to change your front and back foot before the trick

  • i push mongo and im the best skater in my neighbor hood

  • @UcantStopSYNE yeah im the best in my grade and i push mongo i dont see why evry one tells me its a bad thing

  • @xXnega1ve99Xx it throws off your balance if your trying to get a lot of speed.

  • @INCridley103 no it doesnt 

  • Adam Colton pushes mongo. So there.

  • @jojo1967 he doesnt push mongo.....

  • if u didnt care you obviously wouldnt of made this video, btw mongo pushers should be exterminated in gas chambers

  • everything

    

  • Because mongo skaters have less time to set up tricks. And if you think style doesn't matter, look at jeffwonsong. It's just...gross

  • It can ruin you're chances because you push mongo lololololol

  • so fukin tru ur my new fav person

  • 43 people push mongo! :)

  • @Sk8erteen1 fuck off with the stupid comments about the dislike bar!!!! they are on every video!!!! nobody cares!!!!!!!

  • @skatethehouse999 shut the hell up trying to make people laugh dip shit nice glasses hahahahahah!

  • @Sk8erteen1 what are you talking about?

  • @skatethehouse999 thats what i thought

  • @MrBMTH14 style helps ur tricks actually.. mongo does make it more difficult to do tricks and it throws ur balance off

  • @mason1291 actually... the jimi hendrix example is more like goofy vs regular lol nice try tho i understood it,,

  • you ride mongo and your a ginger, damn your perfect for some douche to make fun of, well fuck haters keep skating

  • dudes, most of the people that push mongo, didnt decide to, they werent like heyyy...."i feel like pushing mongo" no, thats just how theyre used to riding, they cant ride ny other way mann, you guys act like us mongo peoplle chose to ride mongo

    i dont push mongo nymore cuz u gay ass faggits hate all the time and act like ur sooo good cuz u dont push mongo

  • i push mongo but i want to change my style so could someone help me because i dont know how to sate any other way :(

  • I don't think mongo pushing looks gay or stupid, but the reason people say not to is because they say you have less control of the board and I have to say, I tried mogo pushing...and they're right, I had very little control of my speed or balance.

  • @dand0708 That's only because you weren't used to it. You don't think mongo people find the same thing true when they try to push regular?

  • Mike V skates mongo, I think it's just the matter of what feels comfortable... Like being left handed or right handed.

  • when u push mongo on sidewalks u got a chance of ur board being taken out by a crack

  • @dn157523 DECENT answer. However, a lot of mongo pushers kind of have that back foot toward the middle of the deck while they push so as to avoid this issue. Thank you though for the non douchebaggy response that actually brought up a relevant issue besides the way it looks or the "trick setup" time, which is irrelevant when you've mastered mongo.

  • every skateboarder is a poser. you know why? they all feel the need to tell ppl what is wrong and right. They all take the same role so they are posing.

  • lots of pros push mongo switch but thats completely different

  • listen... skateboarding is all about having style.. if you push mongo people might think you suck complete ass.. witch is most likly the case if you push mongo.. theres nothing wrong with it its just ugly.. plus how are you supposed you push going down a hill mongo? sounds like shit.. try pushing normally.. keep skating.. ALWAYS GO FAST!!

  • @TheBrrp I'm a longboarder and I push mongo. DH pushing is 0 obstacle. In fact it's better to push mongo DH because mongo is best for generating quick speed as opposed to light kicks from the regular foot. Oh and I have tons of style, I out skate/slide all my friends and they all push regular. It's all about going hard man. Once I'm going 25mph who cares how I pushed to start, just watch the skills eh!>

  • @dontmugurself To each his own friend.. as long as your ripping... but all i know is when i skate i get laid because of it.. if i pushed mongo.. this may not be the case

  • well i say the only good reason to push mongo is if your going to do a no comply or you just did a trick and you ended up in the switch position and you push as if your were still in your regular stance plus ive seen pros do the second example i put

  • KOSTON IS MONGO

  • @solidcaptainfalcon Koston is goofy...

  • @fetmabebis i always see him pushing mongo in vids lol

  • @solidcaptainfalcon he pushes mongo switch foo..

  • @TheBrrp still mongo

  • the only reason anyone should skate mongo is if there doing a no comply... wait since your bad you probally dont know what that means and rodney M. is actually good and nobody would care if he skated mongo but if someone like you went out in public and skated mongo people would laugh.

  • Subscribed dude, check out my video if you want, skate for fun, and ignore the losers

  • The only reason why I push mongo is because if I didn't I'd just loose my fuckin' balance. Lol.

  • @RoriesLife Right? Which is exactly why regular pushers say they don't push mongo, cuz it looks bad to them and because they lose their balance. Duhhhh you are gonna lose your balance pushing the way you never push. I never really got that reason...it's pretty much a given if you push regular you won't be good at pushing mongo and vice versa (if you push mongo you won't be good at pushing regular).

  • i see your point in the vid mongois just not cool man hard to move your feet in the right position andstuff

  • just look at this guy and thats why mongo is gayyy as fuk

  • @koloolok You're gay

  • Dude-it kills your style and brings down skaters everywhere. It just puts a whole bad impression of skating. That was also in TWS, too.

  • Faggot music, gay ass bowlcut hair(CUT THAT SHIT), you have glasses, youre a faggot mongo nerd.

  • @koloolok Hey, i know the music, it comes from one of tony hawks videogames... I think, he playing it all the day :D And I agree with you.

  • @koloolok XD I like how You say bowlcut when his hair is clearly different lengths, You just have no taste in music, and glasses? XD i'm pretty sure half the people uno wear them ;)

  • @Shayley1000 Alright, sorry bro, he has a bowlcut mullet. This fool is a nerd straight up. I listen to men's music, beast shit like Lil Wayne or Tyga.

  • @koloolok well your the 'faggot mongo nerd' if your low enough to diss someone hair cut and glasses :/

  • hmmm... let me see, skateboarding, derived from surfing, has EVERYTHING to do with style. You have bad style, you are not respected. Rodney Mullen has style, and it would matter if he pushed mongo.

  • to your question at 0:48 yes it would matter

  • My friend tried pushing mongo and sprung his ankle

  • i love pushing mongo screw the haters

  • i skate mongo! i dont give a skate! i can ollie, heelfip, and fakie boardslide mongo!

  • @TheExtermewolfy108 what the hell is a fakie boardslide -_______-

  • get a haircut dude

  • I push mongo and I love it

  • ey u dumb asses it doesnt matter wat way u push mongo or regular as long as ur good ur okay stop judgeing people u dont hear us how stupid u look

  • mongo is sick man

  • I also don't know what the big deal is. I don't push Mongo in normal stance but I find it a lot easier to ride Switch while pushing Mongo.

  • style is every thing

  • hi

    

  • It's your choice, but it does kind of slow

    you down. It's easier to fall that way too.

  • Because it can slow you down, personally, I don't mind it either way, it's just it makes it easier sometimes to do goofy or regular... Your choice though.

  • 2 reasons its ugly and when u push the right way u get ur foot back on the board quicker o yea and rodney mulllen suck ass hes barley even pro

  • kitaro!!

  • Its bad to push mongo because when your moving your front foot off the board, and u place it back on to set up a trick, you'll take about a second longer. It doesn't seem that long but it is when your trying to do a set of tricks. Now personally, I ride mongo, and I can do flip tricks, spins, jumps off stairs and stuff like that. But I'm gonna start practicing just normal goofy so I can get myself to become a better skater. If it doesn't work out, WHATEVER, mongo all the way!
