Did you ever try mongo? For me as impossible as mongo seemed to begin with, switch seemed even more impossible!
I'm currently learning to kick mongo. It's like writing left handed while upside down. There are a few techniques and some good videos, although as always it all comes down to practice until your body obeys. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xUHohKDiMNc https://youtube.com/watch?v=IBlSIqnep7w https://youtube.com/watch?v=eEk-_izFUfA Edit: this one is really good, has subtitles... https://youtube.com/watch?v=cchu077Cm_0
Thanks for setting up longboarding on Lemmy! I thought it would be nice to make a thread about LDP (long distance pushing/pumping) and I thought I’d post a few links for anyone interested in the idea of travelling long distances on their board. Please feel free to add more links in the replies, it’s quite a niche type of skating so there’s not loads of content out there, but once you start looking there’s some good stuff!
