Am i starting a bad habit? I skate regular but i can't seem to put my left foot on the board and using my right foot to push off with. I go ahead and put my roght foot in the back and push off with my left and then once i finally get on the board i get my feet straight. Is that bad?

Yeah dude, you skate mongo. The only thing that sucks about it is that it takes longer to build up speed.

It doesn't take me long to build up speed because I have pretty strong legs but pushing mongo could be and will most likely turn out to be a bad habit because it gives you less time to set up for tricks.

well the way i found my stace was to just run up and jump on my board and the stance i landed in(regular) felt best. anyway, mongo is pushing with ur front foot and keeping ur back foot on the board which can lead to less speed cuz u need longer to set up for tricks like Hopein said

mongo is not good because you take longer to get your feet all set
if you don't push mongo then don't bother trying to learn it unless it is for skating switch.
if you are goofy mongo then you might be skating switch. try skating regular, regualar(pushing with your right foot with you left foot, being your front, still on the board)
if that is uncomfortable then try pushing goofy, regular
the best way to fing your front foot is to either just jump on or to go to some stairs and see which foot you put first on the first step. which foot that is then it should be your front foot and you push with your other foot

I cant push goofy and i just cant push regular without feeling like im having to drag my right foot. I mean pushing off 'mongo' feels best to me plus i cant to tricks now cuz i just started skating and im still stuck on the ollie. So what shoudl i do. I mean i can kinda push off regular but it just feels wierd.

Dude, i kinda live out in the country so i mena yea. I just go the regular park cuz nobody is ever there. I still need freakin help on my ollie. This due on the internet told me to practice by holding on to something and pushing my weight up so i mean that kinda helped. I was on my trampoline kinda messin around trying to olie STANCE on there and i got it. Go figure.
