You should be able to push every way... If yiu can only push minho it means you don't have enough board control. Try pushing in every stance (make it a fun challenge) it will help you. Learn to monster walk it greatly improves board control and it's fun and it has a fun name. All hail cardiel Monster walk tutorial : [VIDEO]

Keep working on skating both forward and backwards and just getting comfortable on the board. Doing just one is basically a revert . Monster walk is more of a freestyle trick and involve going back and forth. [VIDEO] Good luck

Monster walk [VIDEO] If you take a look at an actual monster walk vs the baby steps being taken you can see it doesn’t look the same. They literally call it MONSTER walk because you are taking monster steps. I’ve seen the baby steps called Penguin Walking and Duck Walking but to be quite honest I don’t care as it’s not a trick while the Monster Walk is. This is a mechanic to help improve board control and if you pull this out as a trick you might get chuckled at. It’s fun though
