There is nothing wrong with pumping mongo. last time i checked skating had no freakin rules like you have to push regular to be a good skater. i push mongo but i ollie 10's as well.

I would think that mongo would be alot harder.. But I guess if you start with it switching stances would be hard.. Like I cant skate goofy worth sh!t

Mongo isn't hard, I don't lose balance. Instead of bringing my front foot all the way around you can just jump into position. I wouldn't skate it over the way I normally do but it's always a good second option.

The prob with mongo is when you make lots of speed, for example when you drop a quarter and want to push quickly for extra speed heading a funbox, you r quikly unbalanced.
you always have more balance when you ride on 1 foot on your front truck

Yeah that is true because you have to swing your front foot to the back side then push, causing you to easily loose balance.

Nothing to it but the thing is I learned to push mongo so it's actually harder for me to push regular.
