GUYS I Just dropped some limited edition baseball caps if anyone wants to grab one! NOT A LOT LEFT! Check em out at www.shopogpark.com - peace!

I love my penny board, easy to carry and runs much smoother&faster&quicker than my skateboard on the road :)

I've got size 12 feet and the penny is my main board. I absolutely love it and it revitalized my interest in skateboarding! The board is weird, because it needs a different riding style. I pretty much have my front foot facing forward with my toes just past the bolts and my backfoot somewhat sideways with a part of the heel along the tail. The boards are fun because they have a different center of balance, as both feet are equally balanced on the nose and tail. I like gettting over giant gaps and cracks either by lifting up the tail and hopping my weight off the board so that the board rolls right over, or pushing on the ground and guiding my skateboard with the front foot. I usually do that down curbs, but riding off of them is fun also. The foot toward the nose can tip the board out from under me when I hit a rock. I kind of just roll forward and run off. Sometimes that doesn't work and I slam. It took a few adjustments for the tightness of the trucks, but I can cruise down hills without speedwobbles. If the front truck is looser than the back it will be a very unstable ride. My favorite part about the skateboard is its durability! Even though it scrapes, the board feel of the penny has never changed in the three years I've had it! The flexibility and pop of the board have been the same, even as I ride it through the rain. The board will never waterlog. I love the thinness of the trucks, because it allows me to ride on narrow places, such as curbs and the smooth paint of the traffic lines when the road is rough. It's fun to ride on wonky surfaces because the street becomes a playground everytime I step on the board! Good video! Hope you keep skating! Peace

I just got my first longboard today after wanting to actually travel and not die on the roads on my skateboard. So far has been the best cruising ever!!

Pros- it's small Cons- it's small

Penny was my favorite board ever. When you get the hang of it, no one can touch you

When I was 14 I had chemo therapy and it stopped my growth spurt which still affects me to this day, but bc of my stature, height, weight etc. Out of all the skateboards i have tried the pennyboard has been the best at getting me from A to B without destroying my feet.

Remember it really depends on the person, these cons can also be pros for a lot of people, its up to preference! Though I don't think a beginner would suit this board very well it absolutely doesn't hurt to try :}

I bought the bigger version of the penny board and swapped out the bearings for reds, the ride is sweet but definitely needs practice to get down.

i have a penny, i think its fine if you already have some experience skating. But now i have a longboard and it is a lot better indeed.

1- hey Ogden! I've had a non original, relatively good quality penny during like 6 years and put abec9 bearings from a longboard and some 7.5 mm inline rollerskate wheels. it improved A LOT on any surface. It rolls more time and rolls better in any surface. The only con is that it vibrates more and it's like an inch taller. I did not need any riser even with my weight(165 pounds). The stability is not very different because pennys aren't the most stable board. Maybe you can try this for a video! it would be so cool! 2- I have an opportunity to buy a penny nickel(27") for about 65 dollars. I've seen your beautiful landyachtz turbo flight and I love it! but i can´t afford it. Should I modify the nickel with bigger wheels, risers and better bearings to get a similar board? or just save money and buy a landyachtz? i only like to relax cruising, and transporting. Not doing any trick. (the streets here are poorly maintained and they are full of cracks, little pebbles, rough terrain and gaps on the sidewalks, so using the standard 59mm wheels is IMPOSSIBLE. Saludos from Chile

Thanks a lot for this vid!

Excellent advice

Quality content 🙌

If you guys don’t like the penny.. go for the nickel board (it’s the same thing but just a little bigger). I’ve been riding my nickel board for 4 years now and it’s not that bad tbh. Going downhill can be a little dangerous because of the speed and “wobbliness”

Everyone is different I suppose. I love my little penny, it literally gets me everywhere! I used to ride it a few miles to my college. I just get off the board in places that are hard to skate. But this little thing is nifty depending on how you look at it. My favorite part is that it's small. I can walk into buildings and stuff without hauling around a bigger board. I've traveled through Miami Beach on this thing. One person even told me, "that's a munchkin board" lol. Don't underestimate the penny board

I put grip tape on the deck which helps you tremendously with balance and keeping you planted. The more you ride the more you appreciate its compactness and portability. I love my Penny Board. BTW, I had both Penny and Nickel, and I actually prefer the Penny as the challenge it poses in you is almost daring that it is actually cute in a way. And that nice clicking sound the wheels make when it goes over narrow gaps on the surface. Oh and I changed out my bearings with Bones Reds -- it is very smooth.

I actually always wanted a penny board but i kinda already was aware of all of the problems of getting the smaller one. But thats not the only option. You can buy longer ones and i ended up getting the 32 inch one and it is super solid and does an excellent job for cruising, and its not to heavy and basically the size of a regular skateboard with the feel and shape of a cruiser. I definitely recommend getting actually grip tape for it tho and i just got bones rough rider wheels for it and those are amazing. Still rocking the penny bearings too ive never had to clean them and they still feel very good but i do recommended cleaning them if their dirty and putting bones speed cream in them after im just lazy.

I have a Diamond Life cruiser and I absolutely love that little thing. Contrary to what was said it s dead stable but very maneuverable, the board is ultra rigid and conpact and ultra light so that makes it the must have for urban areas. You can carry it in the subway and ride it mad fast on the sidewalk or the traffic. Divided my commute time by more than half

“Not a good turn” okay? Loosen the trucks tf?

Penny boards are decent and fun for short distance cruising, but I would strongly recommend looking into a Landyachtz Dinghy. I have both, and I prefer the Dinghy.

Thanks bro

Just as I was gonna go on a ride on mine 😔

Funny how like 99% of comments disagree with the video 😂😂😂

My little 13 year old sister rides this thing like it's no big deal (it was even her first board, she got it when she was 10) and I, who's coming from longboarding, couldn't even properly stand on it, it felt SO uncomfortable :'D But I feel like my sister's able to ride almost any board now (I got her a proper longboard for her birthday!) since she started with the most "difficult" one, know what I mean?

i absolutely love mine. i don’t do tricks or anything, i just ride around my campus. it gets me places quick and is really smooth. would definitely recommend getting one.

Pro skater move is when you add grip tape and shock pads to your Penny Board

Was looking into getting a penny board and saw this and it was exactly what I was looking for. Had my board for a month now and I love it

AS I pennyboarder who has never really learned how to skateboard these are all things I'm used to. If you're a skateboarder these are all things that you just overtime will get used to, you can't ride it for a day and say it sucks because you have to learn how to use it properly.

Penny boards are great for rough roads💪🏽

I like the portability aspect, I had 2 longboards, 1 full size cruiser board, and a skatepark board, but I sold both longboards because they weren’t portable enough, trying to decide between getting the smallest penny shown in the vid, or the ‘nickel’ board.

So I bought the dinghy first before I got my penny board today. It was pretty fun and honestly I did not find cracks to be a challenge.. It was pretty smooth on flat pavement and was not particularly fast like my dinghy. I tried going down some hills thinking it would handle it similar to my dinghy but nope, I speed wobbled, fell and got road rash along with a mild sprained shoulder. Needless to say I will never ride down hills or attempt to go really fast on a penny board ever again.

true, these were fun when i was 13 (actually i broke my wrist on my 13th birthday while learning to ride), so i switched to a nickel. just about to turn 19 and the nickel’s starting to feel small too. i love the penny skateboards company tho so i’ll have to consider some new alternatives unless i decide to keep my nickel. its size may be meh for my age, but it gets the job well done.

👨🏻‍🔧 From my experience having 10 different boards Penny turns very very sharp because of its small wheelbase, narrow skate trucks. Maybe you should loosen the trucks or change bushings for some supercarve cones. This would be the most nimble board.

I learned how to skate on a penny mainly bc it is a reliable cruiser board. Gets you to work,school, home . I like how it's just fast and mobile and alot of them are stylish and can hold alot of weight. You can't do as many tricks as a regular skateboard but when you discover a new trick its quite satisfying con I poorly lost a few of them or had some get ran over when I was trying to ride a penny with flip flops on my phone

Completely agree with everything you mention , recently bought one 😢 luckily only for 300 pesos mxn of second hand like 15 dlls so it wasn’t so painful. 😅

Short wheelbase boards stop dead on every crack, tiny pebble or twig. Some places have smooth concrete and little to no debris. Maybe you won't end up bloody on the concrete with a Penny board. But where I live currently, you'll get bruised and bloody a lot. That's no fun. Barefoot skating is a terrible idea, especially if you're a surfer. Surfing and foot injuries are not a good combo. I have used a cruiser in an airport. Security tends to yell at you but some of those smooth ramps are great. 🤣

As someone with size 12 men's shoe size, I never considered a Penny board, hah. Nothing under 8.25-8.5 inches wide for me. But we get a lot of moist weather in spring and autumn so maybe in the future I'll look at their 32" or 36" board for a deck that's not gonna be hurt when it gets a bit wet. Since we've had summer droughts for years now, that's gonna be pointless for months yet. As for a cruiser, I just got a Dinghy Blunt Fender deck in the mail and set it up with some locally made components (since local skate shops don't have the 2021 selection yet I had to get the deck from overseas).

You know penny is life as I always love riding my penny ! Also I do have the same board as ya I love it . I don't know why you don't like it . I am all about the pennyboard ... If you want a bigger board why did you not get the 27 inch ?

My Penny “Nickel” arrived today. I’m beyond impressed by the quality of the materials and build. It’s far superior to my Magneto SUV. “Made in Taiwan” for the win! Can’t wait to go cruising by the river and shoreline here in Japan where I live.

I have one of these and loved it. But a pebble in 2016 made the board launch me off and I got a scrape on my arm which I still have today. Got a Landyachtz Dinghy Cruiser since I’m in Vancouver and it’s been a great experience.

I love the penny board because noone expects me to do a kickflip or even an ollie. And it looks hilarious. Lol

Optimized, minimalist, no bullshit setup: - all round cruiser: Penny 22 - normal skateboard

i feel like it would be harder for taller people or adults to ride a penny board because they are small and hard to balance on, but smaller people like kids wouldn’t really have a problem.

WTF I literally almost bought one the other day as I was without my skateboard

Not very durable plastic? I was skating next to the road and somehow it slipped out from underneath my feet and went onto the road. 🙄 So the thing got ran over, the front truck went flying and the back one was bent, BUT the deck remained unscathed. I replaced the trucks and wheels and still use it today.

Fun story: I was going to buy a dinghy turbo and the shipping is a lot higher than I thought so the total would be 300$, now I do have a loaded tan tien and wanted a cruiser cause is a bit more easy to carry around, but then is 300$ really worth I mean sure is good but with that amount I could buy a"rayne nae nae complete with paris trucks and orangatang wheels and good bearings" And yes I really love doing tricks so I might go with the dancer

Kids from the 70s all had boards like this, now we're just bigger Kids! and like the familiar feel. My children's boards just feel like big clown shoes

would you apply the difficult balancing to the 27 inch penny too?

It's good to put in a backpack and use to commute. I wouldn't use it to go out for a day just to skate.

Had one growing up, I thought it was a great cruiser.

what about mini-cruisers with maple or bamboo board? the basic same format but with a little bit concaves, a better grip, and good resistance?

You are aware that pennys come in all shapes and sizes, the longest being 32" long (not counting the Penny longboard), aren't you?

I really should have gone with the 27 inch instead of the 22 inch, a lil bigger but still pretty portable and more foot space

Get a Nickle, and replace the wheels with 75mm.. you won't need to worry about cracks, stones, bumps

Nah the stability factor isnt even a thing. If you ride a regular skateboard with super loose trucks its no issue

I noticed you have to treat it like a snowboard when turning

The 27 inch shall solve all your problems Bro people don’t even talk about the Nickelboard, nor make videos

My tony hawk edition penny came with grip tape on it.

Will it fix the problem if the penny board makers have grip take on the board

Pennyboards are amazing

if you replaced the wheels with skate board wheels, can you go over cracks?

Love the penny (Nickel) it’s great for cruising just needs some grip tape

Dude, that’s actually some pretty good advices! I thought you would spill some hate but the argumentation is profound! Thank you for sharing your view!!!

"Don't buy a Citoren Hatchback because it can't reach top speeds and compete in races like a Mclaren" What if I don't need to do those things?

That is bc u r used to a skateboard and also it depends on what size board u get

well, rain resistense is a big deal. hybrid bearings and you’re good… what U think?

so what if i just get a nickel?

me when pennyboarding: *smoothly balancing* me when trying skateboard from decathlon: *ulitimatley falls 1 nanosecond I stepped on it*

59mm 83a durometer wheels should get over the biggest of cracks

You have idea how many times I've fallen flat on my face when I'm riding a penny board, these things suck LOL idk how people used to ride em

im thinking of getting a penny,i live where there are many bricks so do you think i would be able to board?

So your saying as a penny board as my first picked up at a flea market is hard mode?. And I can cruse in that semi ok after just 4 days of practice? CANT WAIT for a regular if that's the case. Next pay I'm dropping 150

YAY NEW VID!!🎉

I learned how to ride on a penny board, and it has translated well to every other board I’ve tried. Portable, quick, and quiet. Replace the original bearings with some reds. The plastic itself can be slippery, but I’ve never had too many problems. If you want to trick, it’s possible, but I just use mine for chill cruising and an actual skateboard for tricks. And the board handles cracks just fine assuming you have any measurable speed? Obviously the board depends on your needs, but don’t let this video turn you off if you’re a beginner. I’ve found used original penny boards for $20 online as well.

I skated pennies and the worst thing about them is there trucks always break on me.

Me and my friends just wanna skate around our village

it depends on the person so dont go around saying you shouldnt buy it

It's the best skateboard I've ever had, even bought a second one

I had a penny board but it got stolen :/ then got a nickel board but if your into carving like surf/skate these aren’t it. I’m looking forward to buying one of those soon but until then I’m on my nickel.

I can turn better then longboards tbh I can’t turn at all on long boards

Bro, you just don't know how to use it 😂😂

To late , im a boss at penny boarding and only started yesterday

I have a cruiser and regular board, I bought my penny to take with me on flights

my pennyboard has a griptape

Just get a downhill setup and skate that everywhere.

I learned to ride on a 22 inch penny board ripoff and it was perfect for me

I personally love the penny’s look, and having used a popsicle before and not really liking it, I am currently planning on getting a penny. I’ve seen that you can land tricks on it so I’m basically set since the hardest trick I want to learn is to grind

It’s small easy to use and easy to steer

I’m size 14 shoe and my foot is bigger than one they are fun for a few minutes but then they are just annoying and I would rather ride my longboard

Sounds like you accidentally bought a penny board lol

Me n my family thoght this was a kids skateboard 💀

Seeing this after buying a board at a sale for 12 EUR. ::D Well, I guess there's no turning back now (pun partially intended). But yes, I'd love to check out you suggestions!

i know. i just bought a bigger one lol

Just cuz he says that they suck doesn't me we should think it sucks

I have a board that’s the size of a penny board but has grip tape and it’s wooden and has big ass wheels.

I used to not be able to take my board to school so I hand a violin case carved out with a penny board it fit all the way if I took off one wheel best purchase I ever made and u just ordered the 32" and a Christmas present to myself get one if you want one you'll be able to hand that shit down to ur kids they last so long type shit

Evey one is cussing the penny but I went on my friends for the first time and it was easy lol like super easy .. turned well and I could manual like normal .. it was bless.. I'm sure in a few days I would be super used to it

My penny board it wood and it feels amazing to me

I stepped on my friends penny board once and just stepped off and said nope
