As a mongo pusher, I feel a little attacked

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.  

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.

I 100% agree. I’ve been skating for 10+ years mongo and that never effected my progression and it just sucks that we have to get pressured irl and in game to “skate the right way” I just want to have fun doing it my way and not have to hear all these comments. I’m genuinely disappointed enough so I sought out this post to give my 2 cents.
