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.

Did you ever try mongo? For me as impossible as mongo seemed to begin with, switch seemed even more impossible!

I do way better switch than mongo.
I try to condition myself not to shift weight to the back of the board (for stability reasons) , and mixing in doing it intentionally was never really a thing.
