i think the most annoying thing is when i pop a fat switch tre` (i dont normal give self props but i am a very proud father of my switch tre`s) and they call it normal, like i could do a normal tre`, nollie big spin then switch tre` and then still not believe me, they are like terminally retarded

I push regular both ways, but I will use mongo for fakie and nollie. I don't normally push into nollie or fakie, but on games of skate or if I'm thinking more about the trick then moving, I will without thinking.
I don't have a problem with mongo, though. It only looks silly if someone doesn't push well. But I see people doing it without any strangeness and it looks fine to me. I mean, people can look stupid pushing regular if they aren't good at it.

Well, I guess the easiest way to explain it that you push with the foot that doesn't start the trick.
So if you push mongo for it, you don't have to spend any time really setting up for your trick, just get your front(back?) foot on the board. But then, why push mongo at all? Because it's a matter of preference. And that's what this is, too.

i prefer just having my front foot half way on the nose when goin for nollie and fakie tricks, as i dont put any pressure on the nose while pushing.

Because it's a matter of preference. And that's what this is, too. but when you do a nollie or fakie trick, when pushing normal your front foot (or back in the case of fakie) doesn't have to move or set up from when you're pushing regular...also when pushing mongo its not like you can pre-set your foot coz it ends up parallel with the board anyway, so you have to set it up no matter what. if anything it would be easier when pushing normal because you could have your front <or back> foot on the nose <tail> ready to pop then just slap your pushing foot down on the board in pretty much the right position, all set up and ready to go. you sir, are weird.

When riding switch, I push mongo.
Actually, I never ride switch. I ride fakie
