Skogging is more tha just switch pushing...
Pay close attention..
A lot of people just don't get it..
Chris a badass skater in any book.
The video he and I have been gathering footage for, still in the works.
ya i don't really get it either....all it is is just a fancy way of switch pushing. call it a riding style if you want, but i really don't see the big deal.
its not like i'm going to be walking in the park and see a guy on a board doing some fancy pushing and be like, " OMG LOOK THAT GUY IS SKOGGING!!!"
rodgon has requested one day a week meeting somewhere like Crystal Pier to hook up and shut the little peons up that complain about the cost of skogging lessons. or even screw "skogging" . I'm teaching basic skateboarding techniques for flatland switch pump, push and carve. If someone wants lessons on grinding frontside/backside coping, thats for another day. If someone wants to slide 10,000 feet, that lesson can be had too. i raced last weekend and placed 3rd in the Open Division at the Pumphouse Dowhill event. I do more than skog on my board. In fact, I'm getting closer to pulling off the Samoan Squat, a trick I invented back in the 70's. I have a long list of skateboarding accomplishments before it went mainstream counterculture in the 80's.
skogging is just a new wrigggle on a skateboard that allows me to express myself in a very animated form. the video's posted here are old but as many have told me, they are yet to come close to getting it down.
when you skate hard for over 40 years, you get the idea things can be better. my skateboard is more than just something to hang on the wall at night and admire the graphics. it's an exercise machine in it's very basic form. i've taken the movement which allows you to become adept at switch skateboard stance. imagine pumping goofy or regular. imagine alternating mongo push with regular while switching lead feet. i dont imagine that. i do it. i do it not for a few feet but for long distances while getting a wholesome exercise. And that is the goal. Aerobic and leg building (Pictures coming)
i got good at it simply by changing my running routines by inserting a skateboard in between me and the ground while running.
it can be done on any board. just seems my design for my view of what a skateboard transportation board should be is FLAT. my 18 year old son who's a mad fingerflipper loves the board for cruising fast downhill.
i'm not trying to convert anyone to going the distance. i've turned on over 10 million people to the movement and YES, anyone can do it, it is not a new concept, it just makes sense. and to me, using a skateboard as a transportation vehicle, i can't think of a better way to motor around town than my skogging deck design that Galac has nailed down for me. We're both collaborating and making this deck available in custom format. We prefer you let us dial it in for you with trucks and wheels since optimizing it for you can help your feel for the switch-stance-pump-and-carve stoke of "self generated" speeds for the cruise.
stay tuned here for Rodgon to announce when and where the long cruisers will assemble and chat while taking up this movement. LDP'ers can pick up the switch on these cruises and best of all .... you can see the skog in person .
come on down and have A FREE LESSON or continue complaining it costs too much money to learn. or perhaps your learning technique is so far off base that you'll swallow your slant on doing it and come up with your own thread so you can be ridiculed too! whatever the case, the stoke of skateboarding cannot be found on this messageboard. it is up to you to get off your ass and find the stoke while applying yourself to do it.
have you ever skated with a 50+ year old seasoned skater? there's lots of us around. try hooking up. learn something more than the comic book movements with your itty bitty hood of fools thinking their way, is the only way to skate. not because they think it looks funny but moreso that they are too pigheaded to try something new that can only benefiit their arsenal of skateboard moves.
every person that has seen the skog in person realizes that there's something of a lesson to be learned. or forget the skog and just switch-stance-pump-carve-push.
as some kids have shouted out as I come blasting by, 'THAT'S NOT SKATEBOARDING' . I love it. I am different and outside of the box. always have, always will.
keep laughing, smiling and smoking up the pavement.

Im sorry, but I don't think there is anything remotely interesting about skogging. How about calling it alternating push, because, I mean, thats all it is.
It looks very difficult to learn, and very difficult to do... Not worth the effort, as far as I can tell. I'm not saying it's not impressive - it is - but honestly, I'd have to be pretty bored to want to spend time learning to push more effectively. Is there something I'm missing here? You put your foot down and push, only difference here (that I can see) is you move your feet around a lot and use both legs... seems like regular pushing is a lot simpler, and only slightly less effective, if at all.
I don't think I would have the patience to practice a trick for 38 years.
the trick is very hard to master. i hadn't really done any freestyle til recently at the urge friends. and getting the legs in shape came back from skogging daily.
as for skogging being gayer than mongo.. hehehe. some people just don't get it but that's their problem. not mine!
either this mentally challenged wimp can't figure it out or he can't skate. again. his problem
as far as it being goofy riding long distances. try pushing with one leg for 100 miles. that's goofy!
