| Appreantly there is a thing in skateboarding (probably longboarding too) that is called pushing mongo.
And Ive heard people who are like:You're good but don't push mongo Don't push mongo etc.
So what's wrong with pushing mongo or more what is pushing mongo??? |

| Pushing mongo is pushing with the "wrong' foot. Good foot is the one one the tail, so left foot if your regular. I push both way, mongo is good to learn no-comply tricks  |

| mongo is pushing whilst your back foot stays on the board and your front foot pushes. it just looks really weird - although it's generally more acceptable switch. I only do it switch : o |

| If you skate regular you'd push with your left foot, and vice versa |

| Mongo is this.
Skateboarding-
Regular stance- pushing with your left foot
Goofy stance- pushing with your right foot
Fingerboarding-
Same but with fingers of course |

| I love the fact that I never push mongo. ALWAYS push with my back foot, even switch. Mongo pushing just looks weird. |
