HOW TO PUSH (THE SECRETS AND TIPS NOBODY TELLS YOU)

Awesome tips! Little details it helps people like me to hear (like head placement, etc).

Riding with your knee inward like that will likely hinder your balance once you gain speed, but it will certainly cause strain and internal issues by forcing the knee sideways every push inevitably. The knee isn't designed to take side to side force/movements. The optimal way for balance to have your feet while pushing is the same position you'd have them for running, toes pointed TOWARD where you are going. Otherwise, you are putting unnecessary and unnatural strain on the knee and limiting your pushing potential by the awkward position. The motion to go from toes pointed to where you are pushing toward and back to your riding position should be only ONE fluid motion. Riding position should be shoulders aligned with the board, and feet with shoulders. Soulders should swing open and the feet should follow by turning to be pointed toward where you are rolling all in one motion, then a one motion return to shoulders and feet squared off with the width of the board. You can think of it like opening to push, and closing to ride. The pushing foot should also while pushing point towards where you are rolling. Think of pushing in skating like walking or running, you always want point your body where you are going when you take a step (push) that way, or the ergonomics on the body are wrong and can result in otherwise avoidable issues. Push, ride, push, ride, push push push, ride 🛹

this was awesome advice man. I loved the visual breakdowns! My foot rests natutally like that so I'm glad i can stop forcing my front foot straighter

This is great. Well done Video and good tips

My favorite part is how he spends 2 minutes stressing never to push with your toes pointing forward, then proceeds to push with his toes forward. Because that's perfectly fine to do. Been doing it probably longer than this dude's been alive. (32 years)

The best trick I´ve seen ever! Awesome video Marcio. Also I love your videos on IG you´re unique for sure

I reallly appreciate the diagram on the top corner for us goofy skater too, I subscribed and waiting for more videos from you. Great work, you will do great

Thanks man, that's a very helpful video.

Do you always have your head over the board nose when doing tricks and rail tricks?

Your video really made me take a good look at pushing a skateboard. I really liked it!! One thing I would like to add, while not taking anything away from your excellent instruction is throwing in a mongo push every other kick because over time you will fatigue your foot and ankle if you kick with the same foot every single time over the coarse of your(hopefully)long years in skateboarding. Also when you mongo push I would recommend having the middle of your back foot just over the rear bolts with that back foot facing forward. Like in your video I will start to push with my front foot over one front bolt but will mongo push with rear foot facing forward every other kick starting today. Gracias🛹👏

It does not matter where you place your frontfoot if you can steer, keep balance and ride fast in that position. ;-) Even pushing mongo is only a question of style like the mallgrab is. The best skill is to be able to ride confident in all stances and directions no matter where exactly your feets are positioned.
