I'm 45 years old. Always was afraid of skateboards. I thought would be impossible to ride one day! One day I went surfing and I saw a girl riding a 5 foot skate longboard at the beach. So I bought trucks and made one for myself. Now I skate and I'm getting better everyday. Thanks to your awesome videos I just bought myself a nickel board. Im so happy I did! I'm getting better and training for that penny!
been riding the 27inch for 2 years now and I absolutely love it. This board made me love cruising around town. i would recommend this board for every beginner
dude please suggest me where to buy all i see in their site is 100+ e worth 27'' boards.I remember some cheaper ones but there is nothing now.Also i have never tried another cruiser board so i dont really know if i have to check other brands,i really liked the penny.Im from greece btw.
I ended purchasing the Nickel board awhile back via ur link! It’s been so fun getting back on a board again. Your videos are very informational, keep shredding 🤙🏼
I have the 22 inch and it’s getting very small for my feet I have had it for around 7 years now and it’s still good but it’s very small should I switch to the 27 inch
If you don't enjoy riding the 22 inch anymore but like the design/ overall feel of it, then yup go for it. There are also some other solid options for cruisers if you want to try something different... like the Landyachtz Dinghy. I have that and it's a fun board, but is different bc it has a wooden deck
Just ordered this for myself and a 22 for my 7 year old. I'm 38 and have never skated, so we'll see! I can snowboard and ski, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
27 is probably one of the closest to the traditional skateboard size which means more room and also a lot easier to ride. Potentially, you could Ollie on the 27 but it's not the same as a traditional skateboard. The 27 is great for cruising, just be careful when going down steep hills because if you have no protective gear on, you will bust your shit.
Hey brother, just asking for your opinion, I got a nickel for me just to go from my house to the tube station and from the tube station to my job, I love this board, is so much fun to ride around that I’m finding excuses to go for a ride all the time. Lately I’ve been doing some research on electric skateboards and in particular the unlimited x solo kit that lets you transform any deck into an electric powered skateboard. I am thinking about getting one for my nickel, any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated,
My Alva 1977 board is very similar to this board and I have a penny board. I ride them both. I'm a firm believer in the 27" due to the fact it resembles the 70's. That said, tricks are easier on the 27" and I skate a lot.
@@S7_jrnl turning feels nice when I tested it but I adjusted the tracks so i can turn tightly and just do waves on downhill and also its fast. And I think its worth if you’re finding a board just for casual ride, I had bigger foot thats why I bought the 27” but if you want some fun you can try the long board or buy some wave tracks from penny board
Hey! I’m a rookie and I want to learn to skate. Do you recommend this 27” for a super beginner like me? How’s balance? And the wheels are good for the street and pavement? I really only want it for cruising.
Yeah, I actually agree. I have a Dinghy as well and am doing a comparison video. However, it's all personal preference... there are some people that still prefer Penny's deck over the wooden Dinghy
I’ve never thought, saw, or heard about putting grip tape on a penny or nickel board but it sounds like a good idea. I think it’s going to be weird because it has the board has holes/ indents throughout the body
Researching truck angles, I looked at the penny and nickel board trucks angle and it was strange.....looked like it is zero degrees according to the definitions I find online because the bushings are basically parallel to the board. I think most skateboard trucks are fairly flat and longloard trucks have higher angles. Would you mind make a video on this topic? Thanks! Oh, by the way, I own both and I still like the Penny better, it is insanely fast for some reason. Penny is less comfortable so less suited for longer distances, but for short thrill sessions, I always grab my penny.
I bought a Citrus 22" Penny back in 2012. I'm buying a 27" to get my daughter into skateboarding so I have a little buddy to skate with. I feel Penny boards are really good for opening the door to proper longboarding or real skateboarding.
Im thinking about getting a penny board but not sure which one is best. Im new to skating and I live in a place with a lot of hills (not super steep but long so you still gain a lot of speed). What would you recommend. I was thinking a 27 inch or the full size long board? Or maybe a different type of board all together if that is better? Thanks for the video!
I'm definitely getting the 27 in because I rode the 22 in and it's too small for me. I tried purchasing one on the penny website but it didnt work 🤦🏽♀️
I need to buy some more bushings for my 27" board (I bought it from a friend for $50 and the board is 9 years old) any amazon or something link I can buy from to help get you commission?
I git the 22 inch first because I thought it was the right size for my feet.but when I got it I was a bit scared.its still really good though.but if I get the 27inch I would be way more comfortable and I could last me longer.thank you so much fo the advise !!🛹🖤
i had the 22 inch board for 2 years/summers and i was lovin it until the 3 year/summer the left back wheel started to find its end and the bearings didnt go very far i just slushed it with wd40 all the time i went for a ride but you know it was a fake pennyboard for 20$ and its worth its price but if you have the money go for the real thing cause now i bought the 27 inch original board and holy damn it rides smooth the balance is surprizingly perfect and it doesnt bend and you can jump off small curbs on it so yeah go and buy it if you are still wondering about it :3
Never use wd40 on any bearings. It washes away the last bits of bearing grease (sounds weird but wd40 is a degreaser). Did that on my roadbike bearings and it was an expensive mistake.
I know Penny is the go to website for Penney/Nickel boards! But if you’re concerned about spending over $100 on a board, check out Retrospec! They have quality boards at MUCH CHEAPER PRICES (I’m talking $34 for a nickel and $25 for a penny). So definitely consider checking out their website before getting a board from Penny!
Would you recommend this board or the landyatchz dinghy? I would mostly just want something for cruising around... Also, I have a tighter budget. I can ride around normally pretty well by now, but I would rather have a cruiser. Thanks.
This board looks dope and I'm definitely looking into cruising around. Is it possible to do tricks on it? Like I know it's designed for cruising but it would be fun to learn some basic stuff if possible too. Obviously a standard skateboard is your best bet but yeah I'm just wondering as a beginner.
i might be a tad late but still, im pretty sure you can do basic nollies on it but its definitely not made for tricks. You can always try but its mostly a cruizer 🙃
I find the 32’ more appealing because it is bigger and I like that it looks like a regular skateboard. Would you still recommend the 27’? Love your videos
Thanks man, I appreciate it! And it depends what type of riding you're looking to do? If you're mainly just going to be cruising, then the 27" is a solid option. But if you want to hop up on curbs/ do an occasional trick, then the 32" is a better option. Or you could look into a more traditional cruiser with a wooden deck (my personal preference)
Been riding the Nickel for years, compare to a 22 inch one, i could go a bit of down hilling on Nickel but not the 22 one. Also, ride over road cracks feels much safer due to axis distance i guess. However my front kingpin is loose, wonder how can i fix that. * Recommend penny board if your region are humid.
Im about to buy a 27 inch from amazon (that costed less than in the original store) and since school is starting soon I’ll probably go with it to school if it possible in my school.
This is a very underrated channel!! I subscribed :) I originally ordered a 22” , but after seeing these vids I cancelled it and ordered a 27” . Should be coming in a few days!! I have absolutely zero skateboard experience, but I ride my scooter across my college campus every day. I’m so excited to try it out :) hopefully I’ll be able to learn!!
Shred Shack thanks so much!! One question- can you ride with your front foot facing forward? Or do you have to have your feet sideways on the board? For example, I push with my right foot and put my left foot in front, but I’m finding it difficult to turn my feet sideways after starting, and then turning it back forward to push again. Do you have any tips for this?
@@VanessaDMusic Hey, don't worry it's not just you... it's tricky. After you push, slowly put your right foot onto the board sideways, then once it's on you want to slide your front foot sideways. It's not ideal to ride with your front foot forward after you push because it doesn't give you the best balance. It might feel weird at first but just keep practicing and you'll get it. Another thing you could do is just step on your board normally with both feet sideways... this will help you get more comfortable. Hope this helped!
Shred Shack Thank you so much for the tips! I’ve been practicing on a smooth paved road near my house. I sort of know what to do now, I just got to apply it all at once. I can go sideways after starting to board, but then moving my front food back forward to push is difficult. Hopefully I can figure it out soon! Thanks for the advice :)

In my opinion you don’t need a longboard in the city. If you go downhill or faster maybe. But in the city it‘s just dead weght you need to transport.
@@DailyShit. I'm not in a city. I live out in the country with long winding roads. I have a small town I live near, but it's not anything big.
How is the flexiibililty on the 27inch compare to 22? Because i’ve got the 22 inch and its very bendy.
