The are the scum of the earth. They intertwine through campus without regard for rules or anybody else. Carving down a hill in front of 10 cars at 10mph should be warrant murder from inconvenienced traffic. No, you don't look cool. No, it's not like, awesome, brah. You're fucking rats and I hope you die in traffic. /rant.

mongo is a new type of weed. very dangerous game to be in.

but before I had my driver's license I would longboard all over to get places because I have a nasty habit of destroying bikes. now I never ride it though, mostly cause I broke it and don't have a reason to get it fixed.

I pretty much just use longboards to get to places quicker than walking or skateboarding.

Kinda funny you say that, i actually don't use poles either. So i should push in a way that doesn't feel comfortable to me, just because other people think it looks silly?

I longboarded to school until I turned 14 and realized that skateboarding isn't actually that cool and riding your bike is way fucking faster and more efficient

uh yeah bud, cause it's wrong.
now you're going to say "it's not wrong I can longboard however I want"
yeah, you can. but people who ski way in the back seat also say that. then they plateau after they learn how to 360 and get shinbang.
if you know guitar, it's also comparable to people using the pads of their fingers instead of tips. it's just improper and you won't get any better at playing.

just cause it feels right doesn't mean it's right. it's not a matter of opinion.

thank you for an actual answer, not just mongo pushers are retarded or some stupid reply. i have been practicing pushing regular lately, your intelligent answer has motivated me to just learn how to get comfortable with regular. thank you. and i know what you're saying with guitar, i've played for a while. i've never looked at pushing mongo that way because i've never had anyone explain it besides acting like mongo pushers are satan

nevermind, I saw you later posts. Think about hitting a rail on skis, or turning on skis, you want more weight over your front foot. surfing you pop your front foot up and stand up from your front foot. The only sports where some derivative of mongo is acceptable is skimboarding because it gives them more speed into waves. In fact bff is preferable for skimboarding.

go jump onto a skateboard and land with your weight on your back foot and then do it again with your weight on your front food. That should convince you why mongo is wrong and not just a preference. when you push, you don't use your foot for balance, so all your balance is coming from your back foot if you push mongo. you are not stacked and balanced over the board at all and you will probably run into people like arab1an.

Although, I agree with this sort of. I've been skateboarding forever, and actually long boarding on larger hills and whatever for like 2 years since I met others kids who do. But actually knowing how to skateboard makes you better at going from a to b.
