What is mongo in skating?

Answer 1

Mongo skating is when you push with the foot that is at the front of the board.

A regular pusher pushes with the foot they have at the back of the baord.

People sometimes get mongo and *goofy mixed up.

It is said that pushing mongo is a bad habit, but I can't see why - other than it not being as stylish as regular pushing.

its a bad habbit because it takes more time to set up your trick n00b.

You also look retarded.

*goofy is the stance in which you skate. Being goofy means you stand with your right leg at the front of the board and regular is when you have your left leg at the front.
