Yo as the first person to like your comment, can I ask for some recommendations of great cruiser boards I can get, I always wanted to get a penny but I’m now having second thoughts, so if it’s cool, I hope you can suggest some of the best cruisers you know please, thanks, peace out ✌️
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!!
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
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?
Yeah I can see that for sure, and like it’s totally possible to ride I just don’t think it’s practical for longer and faster rides. Also they’re kinda pricey haha
👨🏻🔧 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.
So he talked about the durability and he did tricks did you know that pennyboards are not made for tricks but skateboards are pennyboards are made for cruising around
Deff gonna loosen my trucks on mine. Last person to have mine has the backs tighter than the front and a riser pad on the back. Fat wheels. Must have been a hill bomber in its last life
@@luvdagirlaniya1284 Yes deff. Penny's are just a brand with the iconic plastic and comb top. I have a 70s board atm. Made of half inch mahogany. No way it's doing any sort of semi advanced tricks. I can see myself learning to pop it up and down curbs eventually but I don't think that pirates plank will do much more HAHA
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.
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.
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.
Sounds like you just don't know what you're doing. Don't skate beyond your skill level if you don't want roadrash. I bomb hills on my penny every day and it's fine. Handles better than just about any other kind of board.
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.
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 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
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 ?
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.
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!!!
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.
Longboards are for individuals who are too scared to ride a penny or regular skateboard. Suck it up and learn to actually skate. You'll be happy you did.
@@nathanxbondthat literally makes no sense he said he has trouble balancing on the board the penny board is to small for him so because he can stand on a penny board he’s scared and he would rather ride his longboard It’s been two years this comment is so funny you should have taken this down by now🤣
lol wtf i have rode every type of cruiser from pennys to santa cruz to lan yachtz you name it ive owned it and rode for ever everything you listed isnt a big deal i rode a penny for a long time and could smash any corner with tight turns never had my feet slide off even in the rain . and shitty roads lolol im from canada come ride on the bullshit they have here. i agree it isnt my first choice at all i like the lan yachts cruiser or a drop deck but your complaints are basicaly a reason to make a video . you do you lol
Man some of the things your mentioning are just not true. Penny's will handle cracks and rocks better that any skateboard out there. They are extremely agile and very easy to turn. If you weren't on camera riding one, I'd assume that you'd never even been on one. And durability??? These things are indestructible. Especially compared to a wood deck. Edit: Every single con you mentioned is 100% incorrect. Like literally the opposite of what you said. I ride a penny to and from work every day and it's perfect. It would be a struggle with my normal deck.
@@OgdenSikel yeah but those things you're saying are not opinion. A plastic deck is obviously far more durable than a wooden one, etc.. If you're scared to ride a penny because they're small, just say so. Don't rag on penny. Get yourself a giant electric wooden longboard that's nice an easy to ride and involves no skill to ride and has almost no risk of injury. Sounds like that would be perfect for someone that's never skated before like yourself.
@@nathanxbond It sounds like you're comparing the Penny to a standard popsicle skateboard, not a mini cruiser. Objectively, a mini cruiser like the Dinghy which has larger and softer wheels and a wider and longer wheelbase will handle rough terrain better and roll faster, and a longboard will be smoother still. It's objectively true that narrow loose trucks are harder to balance on and control assuming the same turning radius as wider trucks. You might enjoy a Penny board but that doesn't make it the best for everyone, and Ogden is only stating facts.
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.
Bro you know theres a bigger version of that right? Its called nickle board its still a pennyboard but better and bigger. The waffle design thing is the grip.
Yep I have a nickel and made a vid on it and dislike that as well. Very aware the waffle is the grip but it doesn’t grip well enough compared to normal grip
Alright there is actually a 32 inch penny board. You can do like ollie, kick flip, etc. It has a nose and a tail. More balance because its the same size of a real skateboard. The wheels got a little smaller. So, would you buy it??
Buy one penny boarding is like a skateboard if you want a skateboard buy a penny board it’s better with cruising or just riding it’s nice to penny board and it takes less time
Same, I got a Dinghy and I feel like anything smaller than that just starts feeling really unsafe for me XD (and I'm not even big, just an average female)
A penny is a cruiser and they're the best out there. It will outlast any other cruiser out there and it's faster, more agile, and has a smoother ride. The board can get soaked and it won't effect anything but the bearings. This kid is wrong about everything he says.
@@nathanxbond That's a bold statement considering they use fairly small and hardish wheels for a cruiser, not really making it the smoothest nor fastest. Don't get me wrong, I have a nickel board and if it was my only board for campus riding it'd be fine, but I do have faster and smoother cruisers and I end up not using the Nickel much at all, then again the other boards costed double so it's to be expected
hang on this skate board is one of the fastest compared to normal skate boards and also you are riding the smallest penny out of all of them if you want a proper penny then get the second largest
Don't be scared. Nickles only exist for scared individuals. They serve no other purpose than to satisfy the needs of people that want to look cool and ride a penny, but are too scared to ride a real one.
I’ve had my penny board for years and it is easily my favorite ride. I used to coast through my college parking lot and get to class on time in a rush. The wheels can take all terrain and can handle more than a typical skateboard, and the turning radius is on point and if youre asking for more you can kick turn and exaggerate your turn. And you are talking about wear and tear but I have had my penny board for over 7 years and it still holds up after consistent use. You are spreading bs but you are entitled to your unnecessary opinion
They are good for little kids, but the bigger you get, the more skill is required to ride them. I like the 27 inch nickel board. It's more portable and lightweight than a regular skateboard and good for people with big feet.
Buy one there very good for cruising and yes you can do tricks but it takes time. Practice makes perfect. Don't listen to this kid he really doesn't know what he's talking about the only thing he's good at is making videos that's all.
@@мѕи-н6л yea I have one and am probably gonna learn to do tricks on it at some point so thanks for the tip! also, odgen has really helped me on which board to buy and making decisions when it comes to skating and longboarding, he's good at more than making videos :)
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
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 :}
Lol I never staked in my life until I found a penny board in the middle of a housing estate while on some acid and literally became a pro in one day, maybe it was the drugs or maybe it’s great for people who are only 5’3 with size 4 feet
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.
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”
There are three ways to easily avoid eating it on a downhill penny jam. One, slow down. Drag the toe of your foot to slow yourself to desired speed. Two, carve side to side. This will also slow you down. 3, tighten your trucks. If you're going really fast you'll still be able to carve but you won't get the wobbles. At least not as easily.
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.
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
@@мѕи-н6л I have no problem either. I never stated that, this video is listing problems that many beginners might run into, because this is marketed as a beginners board.
I mean...all true (except for durability), but for $20 secondhand I'm not gonna turn down the fun of a Pennyboard. Great when riding beside your kids, and light when faffing around and not doing tricks or a full longboard cruise. Also not sure what you're comparing the wheels to (Plow Kings or Caguama?!) but they're plenty solid for "cracks and bumps" in the sidewalk. They're basically 60mm Chubby Hawgs which eat up most pavement.
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. 🤣
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.
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
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!
Not a single like LOL

Pros- it's small
Cons- it's small
Exactly.
literally thats it its jus small its great just too small
I love my penny board, easy to carry and runs much smoother&faster&quicker than my skateboard on the road :)
Yeah this kid is trippin. They are perfect for all the things he said they're bad at.
My board is amazing
And they also make ones with grip tape
Ur board might be slippery if u get it wet since u got no grip tape and also u loosen it he trucks for turn radius
Yeah and it's more durable tbh
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!!
Mines arriving tomorrow!! I’m so excited
@@mariafausti3128 I just went 7 miles on it today up and down hills with the worst of British tarmac and it was the coolest feeling ever!!!
I tried roller blading down a hill yesterday and thought I was a dead man 😭
@@OgdenSikel ngl got my first speed wobble and had to ditch into the grassy bank at the side now that was terrifing
@@OgdenSikel I know I almost died doing that as a kid.
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.

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?
0:54 lol
well, rain resistense is a big deal. hybrid bearings and you’re good… what U think?
Excellent advice
It’s small easy to use and easy to steer
To late , im a boss at penny boarding and only started yesterday
my pennyboard has a griptape
Will it fix the problem if the penny board makers have grip take on the board
It’ll be easier to grip to, but the small size in my opinion is just too uncomfortable esp. at high speeds for me to wanna ride it
That is bc u r used to a skateboard and also it depends on what size board u get
You’re opinion mate
Yeah?
Just saying
I stepped on my friends penny board once and just stepped off and said nope
Don't be scared. They're so much fun.
Don’t buy a penny board, proceeds to have fun
I love my board
I learned to ride on a 22 inch penny board ripoff and it was perfect for me
Cool!
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 have a cruiser and regular board, I bought my penny to take with me on flights
I noticed you have to treat it like a snowboard when turning
Uhh not real for kid right
you're tripping lmao had mine for 10 years no problems and im a bigger dude
Try the 27 inch bro

I love my panny board ef you don't like et don't but
Why would I
I have a penny nickel and i love mine
hang on this skate board is one of the fastest compared to normal skate boards and also you are riding the smallest penny out of all of them if you want a proper penny then get the second largest
Do you like the dinghy fender
Yeah! It’s basically a dinghy turbo king with smaller wheels. Allows you the ability to upgrade to the larger 72mm wheels in the future if desired
Take it downhill 😂
I DONT WANT TO DIE 😂
go buy a longboard then and see how much space it will take in your car
Nah it doesn't. Get a cruiser board but not pennyboard
Me, who is here because I just got pennyboard and wanted to learn how to ride it:
Severa flor
Penny board is super
I already bought that :( 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Penny boards? Nah. But a nickel board? Absolutely.
Don't be scared. Nickles only exist for scared individuals. They serve no other purpose than to satisfy the needs of people that want to look cool and ride a penny, but are too scared to ride a real one.
@@nathanxbond My size 14 feet are way too big for the penny board lol
I just got it today :(
I'm gonna buy one
I’ve had my penny board for years and it is easily my favorite ride. I used to coast through my college parking lot and get to class on time in a rush. The wheels can take all terrain and can handle more than a typical skateboard, and the turning radius is on point and if youre asking for more you can kick turn and exaggerate your turn. And you are talking about wear and tear but I have had my penny board for over 7 years and it still holds up after consistent use. You are spreading bs but you are entitled to your unnecessary opinion
Thx for telling🫶🫶
I assumed penny boards were for small children, never considered buying one, basically a strapless roller skate for me and my big feet lol
They are good for little kids, but the bigger you get, the more skill is required to ride them. I like the 27 inch nickel board. It's more portable and lightweight than a regular skateboard and good for people with big feet.
get a landyachtz dinghy lol its 100x better
I see no lies here
Bbc!!!!!!!!!!
Ayeee haven’t seen you comment in a while 😂
@@OgdenSikel yeah life is wierd 😂😂
I by a one and i like it 😏
would u replace abec 3 bearings with bones reds???? btw could u review the santa cruz STREET SKATE 8.79 STREET CRUZER COMPLETE CRUISER SKATEBOARD?????
Go Zealous all the way
Yes go for the bones reds
Id replace literally any bearing with reds
Yes replace the bearings with BONE REDS
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.
Just as I was gonna go on a ride on mine 😔
If you enjoy it thats great at the end of the day its a review
You do what makes you happyyy🤘
Buy one there very good for cruising and yes you can do tricks but it takes time. Practice makes perfect. Don't listen to this kid he really doesn't know what he's talking about the only thing he's good at is making videos that's all.
@@мѕи-н6л yea I have one and am probably gonna learn to do tricks on it at some point so thanks for the tip! also, odgen has really helped me on which board to buy and making decisions when it comes to skating and longboarding, he's good at more than making videos :)
just after i gave up trying to do an ollie on a pennyboard
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 broke my ankle bailing downhill
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 actually learned to skate with a penny board!
Lol I never staked in my life until I found a penny board in the middle of a housing estate while on some acid and literally became a pro in one day, maybe it was the drugs or maybe it’s great for people who are only 5’3 with size 4 feet
Just learning how to skate with my penny now. It pretty good
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.
that's awesome, I'm so glad there'd a board that works for you!
Sorry but what does the chemo story have to do with skateboard
@@sober7967 read it again bro
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”
I put normal trucks on mine and it seemed much more stable but my feet could hit the wheels though
There are three ways to easily avoid eating it on a downhill penny jam. One, slow down. Drag the toe of your foot to slow yourself to desired speed. Two, carve side to side. This will also slow you down. 3, tighten your trucks. If you're going really fast you'll still be able to carve but you won't get the wobbles. At least not as easily.
Also if u put grip tape on a nickel board, you can do little powerslides when you hit a scary downhill
Pro skater move is when you add grip tape and shock pads to your Penny Board
😳
WTF I literally almost bought one the other day as I was without my skateboard
You should get one. You'll be instantly hooked. Don't listen to this kid. He's wrong about every single thing he mentions as a con.
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.
Dinghy is really the good version of thd Penny
It’s also 3x the price of a penny
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.

Penny boards are great for rough roads💪🏽
hmmmm thats debatable 😝
You are aware that pennys come in all shapes and sizes, the longest being 32" long (not counting the Penny longboard), aren't you?
Yes I am. This video isn’t about those. It’s about the classic
@@OgdenSikel I have no problem skating with the original penny board and my shoe size is size 12 maybe you're not experienced enough 😂
@@мѕи-н6л I have no problem either. I never stated that, this video is listing problems that many beginners might run into, because this is marketed as a beginners board.
@@мѕи-н6л at 32” it’s pretty much a regular longboard and not so much a small penny board
@@Lucario9d 😂🤦🏻♂️
I mean...all true (except for durability), but for $20 secondhand I'm not gonna turn down the fun of a Pennyboard. Great when riding beside your kids, and light when faffing around and not doing tricks or a full longboard cruise. Also not sure what you're comparing the wheels to (Plow Kings or Caguama?!) but they're plenty solid for "cracks and bumps" in the sidewalk. They're basically 60mm Chubby Hawgs which eat up most pavement.
“Not a good turn” okay? Loosen the trucks tf?
Funny how like 99% of comments disagree with the video 😂😂😂
Pennyboards are amazing
You didn't put a space and TH-cam had a translate thing on it lmao
The 27 inch shall solve all your problems
Bro people don’t even talk about the Nickelboard, nor make videos
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. 🤣
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.
I love the penny board because noone expects me to do a kickflip or even an ollie. And it looks hilarious. Lol
Hahaha, I like your way of thinking 🙂
Love the penny (Nickel) it’s great for cruising just needs some grip tape
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
Bro, you just don't know how to use it 😂😂
