Foot Braking
Ok dudes, I have to admit I skate Mongo and I am blaming that on the difficulty I am having getting foot braking down pat. I can do it while cruising no problems but with any sort of real speed if I place my foot on the road it sticks and my board and other foot go shooting off ahead while my front foot stays back which can be quite painful. Any other Mongo skaters out there please help me out. I have tried changing my stance but It just doesn't feel right after all these years. Even if your not Mongo give me some help before my nuts retreat ALL the way up into my stomach!
Peace
Dani

agreed on the practice part, but learning that there are a myriad of ways to stop is a wonderful thing, if i'd known that 5 years ago...i'd be 5 years ahead.

i have been paid out on for footbraking too much so i am now trying to do it as least as possible now trying to work on sliding.I found by planning when you want to brake helps if you are going into a tight hairpin i throw my foot down way earlier so i have time to set for the corner .Nothing worse than braking mega late then rushing to set yourself .

I dunno, I reckon that's half the fun of it :)

i'd rather brake before i got tweaked out and be calm and focussed than sketched out....
and guff, i'm still sorry about losing traction in front of you at kingston.
