    Here is the long awaited review of the Penny Longboard V2!! I put the Penny Longboard through some really serious tests to see how it would hold up. There is a popular video of a penny longboard cracking as a guy tries to ground it out. I tested it, and I am pleased to say that the construction of the Penny Longboard held up! That being said, in my review I bring up a few big concerns that I have for the Longboard compared to Penny's other boards; the 22'' penny and the 27'' Nickel.
    As always, thank you very much for watching. Let me know what you think, and what you'd like to see.

      Yeah, it would make more sense to compare this board to like other longboards. If you want the small size, they already got that covered with the Penny original. I don't believe the plastic structure is equal enough to griptape. And what happens when it gets slightly wet? I mean, when commuting there's a chance of getting into some rain. Also, to me a longboard is less functional when it doesn't have more of a tail, so I can at least get onto a curb.

    Just bought mine, cant wait to try it today. I am not a longboard fan, just dont like the look of them. But with Penny its different, man i love plastic, way better than wood in my opinion.
    Always were riding my 22 inch Penny, also for long distance like 17miles. But i think the longboard will be a safer way to ride and easier because of the size of the wheels and board.

    • @AustinBlackvideo
      @AustinBlackvideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      SecGen2G I totally feel you! I'm in the same boat with all these Penny products. The 22'' is still my fav, but the longboard would probably be more stable

    • @SecGen2G
      @SecGen2G 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yesterday i tried the Longboard (42KM(26miles)).
      Its really great, its just doesnt care about the ground. It really eats every stone , hole or stick at the street.
      Thats much safer and you dont habe to pay a lot of attention to the gorund as you have to do with a 22inch penny.
      But the Penny is a little bit more fun to ride. But for long distance the longboard is better. Its great to have both. But the longboard still feels like a Penny. So its a great part of the penny family, also because its made out of plastic. So ill stay with my 22 inchboards and with the 36. Great to have both. Also for downhill the 36inch feels much safer :D.
      But fot the City, 22 inch. And also to travel with.

    I have a nickel and it is a perfect size for a tall guy like me. Only downfall is you are screwed if you go over a crack slightly too big all your momentum goes away. But on smooth surfaces you can be very quick.
    I'm gonna buy shark wheels to see if that helps with the rocky ride on some surfaces.

      It depends! If you're a beginner, the Nickel. If you really need something portable, the Penny

  • @bunna97

    How does it stack up against the original 36" from Penny? Is it just lighter or is it thinner as well? The V2 seems to be much more flexible in your video

    • @AustinBlackvideo
      @AustinBlackvideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @AustinBlackvideo
      @AustinBlackvideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a good question. I would probably go with the longboard, but with anything like that, I would probably replace the bearings.

  • @staleyking
    @staleyking 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    36 inch isn't that big the skateboard I ride is 36 inch. longboards can be as long as 45 inch

    • @AustinBlackvideo
      @AustinBlackvideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Oh totally. It's all relative. Compared to penny's other products it's massive.

    • @staleyking
      @staleyking 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Austin Black fair play just thought that the length wouldn't make it that impractical to carry and take on transport such as buses. although it'd definitely be less practical than penny's other board. nice video btw your review style is very thorough.

    • @wizzywuzzy6745
      @wizzywuzzy6745 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly my thought. Would be cool to see Penny put their longboards on the customizer. But I think we'll have to see how sales go before they take such a big risk

    • @AustinBlackvideo
      @AustinBlackvideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think that's the key. People aren't really looking to Penny for their longboards, so there would have to be some factor that gives them a bump in sales. But we can hope!

      Austin Black - Comparing a longboard to a penny board and saying it's not as good because it can't do tricks is missing the point. It's like comparing a knife to a pair of scissors - they do the same basic thing, but they're designed for different purposes. In my opinion, a well-designed video would explain the different purposes for the 3 boards and then compare the penny long board features to other longboards.
      For example, I started off with a penny nickel and love it. I then got a regular, wooden longboard and HATE it. Since then I've wondered if the flexible deck of the penny longboard is what would make me love a longboard. Also, the longboard I bought is 41 inches and too long in my opinion. How does the 36 inch penny longboard compare in that regard? These are all things I'd love to know that weren't answered in your video. Maybe you could do an update video in that kind of format

    • @AustinBlackvideo
      @AustinBlackvideo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      fitztastico I totally get that, and I certainly agree with you. Maybe it would be good to make a video just talking about all of Penny's products like that. Thanks!

  • @Spacenoid0001
    @Spacenoid0001 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    A long board is a long board, Penny is growing up and doing new things. For me, double thumbs up for Penny. The reasons I get Penny boards, they are quiet and they don't have sand paper grip top (am a neat freak, don't want sand particles on my floor) If you want to do tricks, definitely don't get Penny, the plastics are not optimal for doing that. But guess what, I still got the 32 inch Penny and am doing tricks with it, just more challenging, it is like flipping a floppy "disk" around your feet.

    @jimcamp2423 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    What I don't like about Penny's website fr the longboard, the specs don't indictate the dimensions beyond 36" long. What is the wheelbase ? What is the width of this board. Is the 7" truck the hanger width or axle width ? The reverse kingpins, are those 50 degree or 43 degree ? How do the trucks compare to industry leaders like Paris, Gullwing & others ? Most longboards come with 70mm wheels, and the Penny is indicated as using 63 mm. Their shorter boards are 59mm. You can't buy the trucks or wheels for the longboard as individual items, as upgrades on their website yet either. End of the day, the Penny LB is $ 149 + S&H. I put together a Sector 9 44" Peru 100% bamboo deck with the Paris V2 reverse kingpin 50 degree combo for $ 116 all delivered. Board pretty much is comparable to a Sector 9 complete with the Gullwing Charger reverse kingpin 50 degree trucks. I understand Penny caters to the complete skateboard market and listing specs might be confusing for someone that lacks the sophistication, but if you're comparing products, Penny eliminates themselves from a comparison of hardware by not providing the information. The Penny LB might be a better backup LB for the Sector 9 that I assembled ? But at $ 30+ more, I can build another Sector 9 and still have what expert reviews indicate are the best all around trucks on the market in the Paris V2's. Penny skateboards in that regard are overpriced.

    It is called a LONGBOARD, so of course it is going to be bigger. But as far as longboards go, it is in the smaller length. If that's your gripe, that a Longboard is big, then that's not a gripe that is verification of a feature.
