That's a personal preference thing. I ride originals and learned to switch up the pushes on those. The good thing about loose trucks is that if you're use to them you can catch your balance with a quick twitch of the ankle. I was practicing switch skogging on some tight RII's and had to jump off a few times becuase when I lost my balance I couldn't correct it quickly enough.
