Mongo foot
Mongo foot in skateboarding refers to using one's front foot for pushing. Normally a skateboarder feels more comfortable using their back foot to push, while their front foot remains on the board. In the minority case of a mongo footed skateboarder, the opposite is true. Some consider mongo footedness to be a faux pas in skateboarding[1], as a skateboarder requires more time to prepare for a trick. While mongo footedness could look awkward or amateur, a mongo footed skateboarder has the advantages of pivot control while pushing, and has less of a threat from small rocks which are more likely to jam the skateboard while the weight is on the front. Most skateboarders find it easier to push mongo when they are skating "switch".
