[susej]

it is never too late to change.

I learned to switch push in my 30's.

I push regular but i don't mind mongo riders. You can do tricks mongo, it just looks sloppy

[JiggsUp]

If I'm playing a game of skate with a friend who pushes switch mongo I call redo on every trick he sets that he pushed mongo for. Teach him a lesson one of these days ha.

stoked for you!  switch pushing is killing me. i always forget and go straight switch mongo. i've tried to compensate for not learning it by doing the run and drop switch or keeping up enough speed between tricks to not have to push at all.

I don't know why everyone hates on me. I push double mongo.
I jump off my board,push,then jump back on.

So many people hate, when I only want to skate.
Nobody understands me and my skateboard..

There are two primary reasons that I can't stand [shit footers].
1. I really love how skateboarding looks. It has an aesthetic, that is, to my eyes, very affable. I do not appreciate people going around making it look so, so, so stupid. These people are pushing in a way that destroys the way riding a skateboard should look. Fuck that. People who don't skateboard should not be seeing these people and then associating them with me in the unpleasant times, when I'm walking up a hill with my skateboard rather than riding down it. This is may primary concern (for some reason... I think I'm just pretty stupid).

2. Little kids with tight trucks pushing with the wrong foot, and following their boards, rather than steering them. Then I have to dodge them and it is annoying. This is a far lesser concern (Once again, I don't know why this bothers me less, but... maybe they'll figure it out eventually.)
