Banana vs Penny vs Globe Comparison/Review

[@KACEProductions]

The reason small plastic boards appeal to me, is that they are portable, a great intro to skateboarding/cruising, cheap, really light, indestructible (will never suffer moisture damage), and are a really great way to get from point A to point B and having fun while doing it!

[@JSRWoW]

They can pick up a lot of speed too, i sometimes race with my bantam vs friends longboarding and it does a good job to keep up, nice and smooth and yes very portable i do agree with that! :)

[@5-HT3]

KACE Productions Any skateboard that has bearings, can be vulnerable to moisture damage.

[@terisorbet3360]

ChippyGhost that's cool

[@5-HT3]

I'm only putting out that saying a skateboard "will never suffer moisture damage" just isn't true.

[@Rhythmicbodywork]

Good solid review; keep it up and don't worry about anyone on here that's being rude or negative. It's nice to see young men doing something productive and not at home playing video games. It's also good to see that you threw in thanks to the camera man as he was stable in his shots. Continue working on your craft, work up a script or atleast some large cards with key points and pay attention to trying hard to not have moments of everyone speaking at the same time. The flex test was interesting and a good giggling of the video. Perhaps dubbing sound over some riding footage letting you discuss the qualities of each board while letting the audience see it in motion would be a great feature in the next video. (Easy to accomplish in iMovie on your iphone). Innovate ; the perspective of comparing 3 separate items with 3 hosts is great. A suggestion : Watch some motorcycleUSA review videos on KZbin and take some notes.

[@KACEProductions]

Thanks so much! Helps more than you think!

[@ryanbell1313]

You should have had the Same person do all the testing

[@KACEProductions]

Shoulda though of that when we made the vid, but we know now for the future!

[@aaliyahlawleey757]

Why thank you, very much.

[@goteam9623]

[@Angelwrites]

are YOU serious? you NEVER been on a waffle board before and it shows lol

[@RamirezHD]

Nice review dudes, I am 30 and have fun watching teens doing reviews and trying to brake boards and shit...cool

[@KACEProductions]

thanks

[@KACEProductions]

I would highly suggest the Bones Reds!

[@jhyuu19]

Nice comparison mates! Had thought about getting a Bantam for my 1st cruiser a while back but they were a bit more expensive at the time so I went with Penny. The board + parts are pretty sturdy if maintained properly. I use mine for commuting, never for slides or anything. I reckon I have my longboard for that. I also find that sliding on a 22" board with 78a wheels and no concave is just a bit too sketchy for me. But they're really fast and smooth and great for cruising and carving. Really easy to carry around too. I don't get why people hate cruisers as much as they do. I mean, if they say "true skaters" don't ride cruisers only skateboards/longboards then I wouldn't mind not being a "true skater".

[@KACEProductions]

Yea. Plus they made a lot of these types of boards just made of metal in the 60's and 70's. Thats true skating. Thanks for the input and positive comments!

[@iluvDDR]

This was actually a pretty decent review, nice job, guys! I have a Penny Nickel, and I love it! The bearings suck though, I go super slow lol, will be replacing them with Bones Reds. I think my next board will be a Gold Cup, those things are sweet.

[@jonoedwards4195]

Great points but they all need more mods, 85mm Tracker Darts, 60mm Kryptonics Red, Bones Super Reds and grip tape. Great post JLP.

[@nickvonrechinchitt356]

I hear that every Penny/Banana/Bantam/Nickle/Torpedo Board comes with a free box of tampons...

[@KACEProductions]

You must of heard a lie cause they don't.

[@deanbullock994]

Yeah, i love my bontam.had it for about 6 years now. Been ran over by three cars and still is amazing. It's a keeper.

[@BeccaBasilisk]

The penny and the Banana are 22" :-) the Bantam is 24" All three sound awesome though, I have a transparent orange Bantam and love it, though I'm considering something a little smaller!

[@ItzhakEthanEskimo]

is that a girl in the middle?

[@KACEProductions]

Yes lol jk

[@KACEProductions]

I highly suggest Bones Red bearing, and you can get a Banana Board on Amazon for about 60-70$

[@jigas8]

whats the size of the bearings for my banana board? thanks

[@arlopower98]

diego lucio 8mm I hope that's what you're talking about. Im not really sure the overall size but that's the size of the axle size it takes.

[@arlopower98]

Well they have a 10mm and a 8mm size. I thought that that was what he was talking about.

[@jhyuu19]

Bones Reds are fine and they ride nicely for the price. But don't go replacing your Penny bearings for Reds before they break. The Penny bearings are nice and will serve you well. They make for a fast and smooth ride. Reds, I find they tend to slow down after using them a bit. Even after cleaning them up they feel significantly slowed down, unlike Penny bearings which last for a long time if maintained properly. I wouldn't mind getting another pair of Reds if I'm a little low on budget but if I wasn't I'd go for at least Bones Swiss.

[@TheGamersDoor]

last guy said that the wider trucks make the board turn better but its actually the shorter trucks that make the board turn sharper

[@arlopower98]

Yeah after the vid I realized my incompetence and stupidity. Thanks for letting everyone know in the comments though. :D

[@johnleuver1281]

LOL. why doesn't the SAME person test ALL the boards' flexes???

[@KACEProductions]

haha didn't think of that! Good idea! #idiots

[@brucewii5334]

I own a penny and I'm definitely a huge fan. My next board is gonna be an Urskog Frӧ. You guys should check them out if you get a chance and do a review on it. Maybe even do a penny vs frӧ vid or something. It's an awesome board and I can't wait to get it.

[@KACEProductions]

that would be cool! We will have to check them out. You should make a video about it so we can watch it!

[@thedesertpirate8247]

not sure how come you're hating on the super reds. a few bucks more and I get a ton better performance out mine than over the reds. if they rusted, reds would have too. you gotta take proper care of them. but at least you guys said reds. I feel like you all should have given your individual input on each board. 3 perspectives ya know? but good vid guys.

[@feastboy8922]

I remember when I go bit by the cruiser-bug so I picked up a Stereo Vinyl Cruiser. I actually ended up snapping the trucks in one go. Thing was a piece of junk. Just get a full sized wooden cruiser board with Indys and OJ's. You can't really go wrong with a combo like that.

[@baileemann9036]

I have a penny and I love mine! Good video! :)

[@KACEProductions]

The Kryptonics Torpedoe is a horrible board, horrible bearings. Me and my bro found the Globe Bantam for 60 bucks on sale. So search for sales, but even though you are not an avid skater, you would have a lot more fun on a more expensive board, and it would last longer than a cheap board.

[@hannahtarazi1119]

That's weird I loved mine

[@hectorfabiandelabarra7235]

I love the globe bantam camo

[@Frank7489]

The deck and trucks are fine. It's the wheels and the bearings that are bad. I bought a torpedo and replaced the wheels and bearings with some I already had and have been very happy with it.

[@nicklawton3445]

Cruising is not skating. You're not a skater bro... 😂

[@771shadowolf]

+Nick Lawton it's a skateboard ? hows that not skating

[@alextheguitardude]

you dont need to replace the bearings on pennys, they are really smooth and have good distance and theyve lasted me three years roughly i personally don't see the necessity to change them out but to each their own, good vid you guys

[@KACEProductions]

Yea i could see some truth in that comment. The bones are just a little better in each category.

[@TheWhiteSnow1]

Well i got my banana board today and it has really good bushings. I got it from eBay. I Dont know what bushings i have but those arent the same as you. My bushings are red and they are REALLY good and they work Amazing!!!!

[@Ballislife7743-z2t]

Very well done

[@koltkimbley9978]

nice video, really helped me find the cruiser i want

[@KACEProductions]

thanks for the feedback!!! :)

[@bobbybrainstorm]

Nice video guys! Really love it

[@KACEProductions]

Thanks for the support!

[@logantaylor250]

Yeah the Globe Bantam STs are on Amazon right now for about 40-50 bucks, replace the bearings and bushings and you got yourself a $75 Board just as good, if not better than the Pennys.

[@espadallion]

I collect cruiser boards, I have, zinc retro Glow bantam Penny board Banana board Kryptonics torpedo Ridge cruiser I'm now trying to get the transparent bantam

[@connorg.5488]

cool! Im the loser in the middle by the way lol

[@user-sd7qt3hy8l]

i customize everything. i never buy completes. i buy everything piece by piece. i buy the deck, i buy the best bearings, i buy the wheels and trucks alone. All in all i do pay a lot more, but the boards i have feel amazing and they're fast AF

[@kyanavolcko7692]

I watched this video and I decided I was for sure getting a penny for my birthday

hey guys, could you give me an advice? i'm a total beginner and I wanna get a mini cruiser. which one do you think is better, the bantam or the penny? thanks

[@willbayne2363]

look at the penny nickel its just a little bigger and it wont be so hard to ride for a beginner

[@Alex-dv9um]

I like the penny bkard because I was thinking what to buy the penny or banana but penny is better. everyone has their own desicion

[@Domolover05]

Opinion... Everybody has their own opinion

[@theodorthorsen8047]

love the video ;D

[@KACEProductions]

There's no different sized bearings. They are all the same size. You will have to get shorty bushings for it though.

[@nytcat925]

How's ur penny board now? Does the rubber get stiff over the years?

[@ohmygodiamalive6692]

i have the same board as the middle guy but the wheels is pink

[@tripscoggins5327]

I have a kryptonics classic board and it is amazing for cruising can you do a review about it for everyone- Trip

[@DavyRayBennett]

I was looking for a gold cup banana board on eBay. I couldn’t find one for less than $500.00. Not happening. I have the penny 22” board, which is what that penny is in the video.

[@livefree1030]

If I'm not mistaken banana boards predate penny by a few decades

[@Stefanvids]

hoping for a reply before i order my gear. im getting a banana board, are bones hardcore bushings going to fit? (they are white and yellow on amazone for 10.40 if you cant find them.) Thanks!

[@KACEProductions]

No, you have to get Shorty's for it. They are smaller than normal bushing.

[@Skyee_AK]

would you reccomend a stereo vinyl cruiser ? plastic or the wooden one ? i just want to cruise around and might do basic tricks here and there

[@rageagainstthetoymachine2410]

+Aakash K Wooden because plastic boards like penny DO break, just search youtube for thousands of videos of penny boards etc etc snapping in half...the plastic flexes very well at first but after a while it can only flex so much before it gets weaker just like wooden decks...and the new penny boards are very low quality the old ones were great but everyone will agree new penny boards suck. i know we're not talking about penny boards but the concept is the same for all plastic boards they do snap after a while. but you won't be able to do any tricks on a cruiser board unless you're referring to just doing a sex change (jump and twist around to face the other way) or very very simple things that are not really tricks at all...honestly i would suggest you get a standard shape skateboard you will feel just as comfortable have just as much speed if not more and be able to learn some simple tricks like ollie up curbs etc etc which you cannot do on a cruiser board...you basically push on flat ground and ride down hills which is very boring after bombing the same hill 20 times... depends on your area though i guess maybe you have alot of hills to ride down. long reply but i'm just trying to lead you in the right direction because it sounds like you're more interested in actually skating. but no matter what you do stay clear of plastic decks just youtube them snapping...i legit watched a video lastnight of 3 guys reviewing penny boards and one guys deck snapped before they could finish the video and all 3 decks were brand new...

[@Skyee_AK]

+RageAgainstTheToyMachine wow thanks for the big reply lol. anyways i ended up buying a "krooked krash test" skateboard 8 inches.. been trying for a week but i have trouble balancing while riding, im a beginner, i triedd ollie and i feel lol

[@rageagainstthetoymachine2410]

+Aakash K Very very good choice going with a standard shape deck, but just keep riding around and eventually you'll become very comfortable riding and have alot more balance skating builds up your balance fast, don't worry about trying ollies or any tricks until you feel very comfortable just riding normally and even then it takes alot of time and practice don't worry :P my first ollie took me 3 months to do haha, but one thing i like to do for balance practice on rainy days when i can't skate i just lay my board down on carpet inside and try to balance myself on the back wheels only. its a manual while just standing still, its basically a wheelie on a skateboard if you don't know what manuals are haha youtube it and then just do them inside while standing still instead of moving like you will see in videos of manuals. it will build your balance up trust me.

[@Skyee_AK]

+RageAgainstTheToyMachine thanks man. i will keep trying.. i mostly would like to cruise around .. maybe do basic tricks like ollie now and then... its all bout having fun isnt it 😂

[@chriswashington5802]

So my cousin got a torpedo for her birthday and she let me ride it and to me, it felt amazing and I loved it. Im thonking about buying one for myselfx but im not honna buy a $150 penny when I know im not serious about skating. Can you guys help me decide if I should keep on the default bearings/trucks/wheels or should I switch out for better?

[@anabelitagalvan03]

150 penny? the classic ones are $99 plus tax, I think the most expensive would be the customized or the nickel which is around $120. but I don't know where you are and how the prices are there. the penny in this video is an original one which probably costed him 110 with tax already included

[@connorg.5488]

anabelitagalvan03 Yeah that is what it costed. honestly if you get even a tiny bit serious, and want to do a little carving, but don't want to replace too much, just go with the banana

[@lonelyberg1808]

Oh my ! You've grown

[@luisgomez388]

I'm trying to get a new board so should I get a penny or a globe bantam or a banana board. I've also been thinking about an eight-bit board cause they're cheaper.

[@burnsiedj3367]

These guys have no ducking idea what they are talking about... "MY BEARINGS ARE LOUD" 😷

[@KACEProductions]

[@lightningmayhem8599]

How do you get the purple and yellow glove bantam I checked there website but they dont have it?

[@adamt4583]

+james lee productions which one rides best I have the penny btw

[@KACEProductions]

adam Thatcher The wheels on the banana are great cause they are softer and wider which means a better carve, but other that that they all pretty much go the same speed, as long as you replace the bearings with bones reds! (15 bucks)

[@ScarfaceSuave]

I'm just wondering what boards would be best for rough sidewalks I'm 170 and size 11 and a half feet

would penny trucks and wheels work on the globe bantam deck? cause I found just a globe deck for sale on ebay and I'm thinking about buying it and pimping it out.. please reply

yea

Bones super reds are the best so idk what your talking about

[@franklinramesh8731]

I'm not sure if I want the banana or the penny. Btw I would like to have one that I can ride to school. :)

[@KACEProductions]

Hard decision. If your worried about a coolness factor with your friends seeing it go with the penny. But off of actually which one is better we would recommend the banana.

[@pandaexpressgamingtv8676]

[@tsaryagin6986]

I hate penny because it's expensive but the other two are great because there cheap

[@hydrocondone]

tf you dont want quality? penny is practically indestructible and is a great board, it is definstely worth the price, not everything is going to be cheap

[@LeaKraf]

So, all in all what board would you guys recommend for a total newbie when it comes to skateboarding ? xx

[@jacobprice5442]

The truth is in my opinion, a penny nickel beats all of these

[@LeaKraf]

Jacob Price thanks xx

[@KACEProductions]

Lea xx we didnt have a penny nickel at the time of this video, but know that we do for a beginner the nickel would be the best. Easiest to use for beginners because of the bigger deck!

[@CaptZiad]

I am a 6 ft 3 175 pound dude considering one of these to get from point A to B in a convenient manner...which one would you recommend with the various specs?

[@KACEProductions]

I would honestly suggest that you get a Penny Nickel board. It would better fit your weight and height. The banana board and Penny have stood up better than the Globe. I am personally approaching your same weight and height, so I will be getting a Nickel. We will be reviewing the Penny Nickel board on the channel soon.

[@RyHitch]

I'm 6 ft 2, 185 lbs and I use a Penny, doesn't bother me any. Works fine.

[@CaptZiad]

Thanks to you both for your advice!

[@CaptZiad]

I got a penny organic board two days ago and now I got the hang of it more or less. Very nice cause I've never ridden a skateboard before. I need to get used to high speeds and pushing off with different legs but otherwise it is very enjoyable. Thank you both for your help!

[@geraldhiggens8283]

Excuse me, so what type of penny board should I get? :)

[@ToxicBabble]

Gene Belcher if you are beginning get a nickel board

[@zackthepoet]

What are the bushings that your using on your the banana board? Thanks

[@KACEProductions]

A 90a cone, normal size board side and the stock shorty barrel roadside.

[@arlopower98]

Actually we recently changed them around so now it is the stock bushing on the bottom and an 80a shorty barrel on top making for a more turny setup which feels a lot better.

[@erinmoore1745]

Does your penny board colour chip? Because I got a penny board and the paint keeps chipping

[@SpudGun146]

The whole penny is is one colour plastic , no paint

[@Hexxplosive]

You probably got a fake one. If it doesn't say Penny on the actual board. It is NOT a Penny board.

[@mikasagameplay1993]

You moron! There are many brands of cruiserboard -_- penny is not the legit!

[@KACEProductions]

The actual plastic can chip off from curbs and stuff, but the color it the same throughout the board. If the middle of your board is a different color than the outside of your board its a fake.

[@MsAngie4545]

Does it matter if it's the real penny board or not I mean it's still the same thing right? I'm planning on getting one but I don't know if The real penny board is better than the fake one..

[@KACEProductions]

Gigiix Dixon Yea theres a big difference. A regular penny has a great warranty and lasts so long. Mine has lasted 3 years and it still is great, it even got ran over an a full sized car! Trust me, buy real! You'll be happy you did!

It's not good if you guys jump on the board looking at its flexibility it could snap within the week so be careful

[@rickym8230]

Wait so between the banana and the penny which has a smoother ride? I'm planning to buy one

[@ethanpowell3203]

I'm Ethan in the video, the one with the Banana board. Since the making of this video I have bought the Original Penny and I absolutely love it! In my personal opinion it rides better than the Banana, the Banana has more stiffness. That makes the latter better at speed, but the Penny for carving.

[@rickym8230]

Thanks man
