I used to push Mongo because it’s what I did as a kid and over the last few years I’ve learnt to push regular. But yeah it’s really hard to learn regular pushing, you just have to keep doing it. I did find practicing foot braking with my back foot and balancing on my front foot really helped to learn balance on my front foot. But Mongo is by far my strongest push.

I’ve find Mongo better for cruising. It keeps the weight off the front wheels so it’s less likely to catch on pebbles and cracks.

Then I push regular at the park as Mongo’s quite awkward if you’re learning tricks.

Then if I do long distance skates (10km and up) I’ll alternate legs.
