As a mongo pusher, I feel a little attacked

Question

As someone who was a semi-professional skater 20 years ago and always a mongo pusher, (Pushing with the front foot, for those who don't know) I decided that, seeing as you gave me the option, I would emulate my own style and continue that in game. Honestly, I'm getting a little tired of the stupid AI telling me that this is wrong, unsightly, or whatever other derogatory comments she wants to throw at me.

There is a term for this style of pushing for a reason. Maybe don't be douchebags...

It's the big 2025, It is unsightly. People have figured out how counter-intuitive it is to mongo push (also potentially dangerous at high speeds considering how weight distribution works) so it became frowned upon after the 90's. Good on them for not teaching potential new skaters bad habits.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Then why even give the option? And... absolute garbage by the way. When did skating become prescriptive and "do it the way we say". Way to kill progression and individuality in a sport that was always, and should always be, about these two things before anything else. L-Take.

Edit: Oh... And I was getting paid to skate in the 00s.
