[@jakeniemiec8559]

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

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

[@jehwhite1582]

Would u recommend a penny or a skateboard with bigger softer wheels?

[@survival5866]

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”

[@DAZUNIVERSALINDUSTREIS]

I put normal trucks on mine and it seemed much more stable but my feet could hit the wheels though

[@nathanxbond]

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.

[@roastbeefy0weefy]

Also if u put grip tape on a nickel board, you can do little powerslides when you hit a scary downhill

[@melindaboomer6471]

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.

[@cosmicreciever]

Dinghy is really the good version of thd Penny

[@alexandermuncey5409]

It’s also 3x the price of a penny

[@peterkim1999]

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.

[@oooooooo4963]

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

[@berg_8322]

I'm thinking of buying a Marley Cruz penny board. It is 29 inch length. What do you think? And this is my first time trying skateboarding

[@TubbyLumpkins]

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.

[@barrydworak]

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. 🤣

[@laurenbrodbine9292]

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.

[@yogi6235]

I agreed. I think Ogden Sikel is only looking at it from a traditional skateboarder's pros and cons. You can't hate-on something that is not designed for your likes and dislikes. Pennies are for cruising and commuting and having fun and some people like my wife don't like the traditional skateboard because she's not interested in learning tricks. Also, the wheels on the Penny handle the roads and our neighborhood trials way smoother, unlike my skateboard which are way too hard for my neighborhood.

[@evane2784]

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

[@OgdenSikel]

[@cleanliving1612]

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.

[@alvaroc7414]

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

[@caesarbanuelos4079]

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.

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.

[@nathanxbond]

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.

👨🏻‍🔧 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 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.

[@Psykmoe]

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).

[@gabrielemaffeo8253]

@@exglued2394 I know right the shipping is pretty much the same price of the product

[@Psykmoe]

Honestly, the international shipping costs really require consideration. Most Dinghies hereabouts are like 190 Euros because the stores gotta make their import costs back. That's what, 220 USD at current rates? More, of course, for the Turbo variant because it has that fiber glass layer. Yeah a Dinghy is good but is it *that* good? At that point I can start buying decks that are locally handcrafted, at least then I'm putting money into the local scene instead of sinking most of that money into shipping and brand name costs. I eventually talked myself into getting the Blunt Fender because at least those pressed wheel flares are like .. added value I guess. I really like feeling them under my feet. Don't find those on just any cruiser that size. I ordered the deck directly from Landyachtz. Can't import completes or the value of the package triggers additional import tariffs. Going Deck only and buying the rest from skate shops closer to home lets me keep the cost roughly on par with buying a complete Dinghy locally. Of course knowing my luck the 2021 line-up including the Blunt Fender will just show up in EU stores next month and I'll curse my impatience.

[@OgdenSikel]

Honestly buying locally sourced decks is the best thing to do if the quality is there. I heard timber boards are awesome and they’re made somewhere in Europe if I’m correct

[@Psykmoe]

@@OgdenSikel Yeah, Timber are based in the Netherlands. Another one I've been impressed by is Hackbrett (southern Germany). Their offering is pretty varied (from Mini cruisers to freeride/downhill boards and a giant pintail) and they use a mix of Canadian maple and discarded pieces from local logging and wood-using industries which would otherwise just be thrown out. I got a very nice 30.9x8.8 cruiser deck made from maple and ash wood. And their smaller cruiser completes are priced similarly to Dinghies and they use polar bear trucks for them. Also, I like the understated look of wood with the name branded in. Low production numbers in each run though, since they're a small company. Still, nice way to support the local lads without having to start north of 300 Euro.

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.

[@dudeabides23]

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.

[@sin3558]

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

[@OgdenSikel]

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

[@michaelrossi3707]

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

[@heatherproductions9157]

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

[@randomcankersore8772]

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

[@________________]

No.

[@Intel_SPECTER]

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

[@slochi12]

have you gone through puberty?

[@OgdenSikel]

does grass grow?

[@CrumbsTaco]

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

[@Draxzy]

If you gonna get the 27 inch I’d just get a landyachtz dinghy. The reason the penny is clutch is due to water durability and the small size

[@malinthefairy6586]

What should I buy? I don’t know how skateboard will work.

[@brylieray603]

Penny boards Are really good Idk what he is talking about you could get a nickel board they are a little bigger but I have a skateboard and I love it it isn't really good for cruising though and another thing I recemend is a long board hope this helps

[@OgdenSikel]

get a wooden cruiser board, with nice concave! penny's are extremely overpriced for what you get and they are uncomfortable for riding. I'd look at boards from landyachtz, moonshinemfg, magneto, loaded, arbor, sector9....they'll all likely be better than a penny

[@malinthefairy6586]

@@OgdenSikel thanks!

[@nathanxbond]

Get a 22" penny. They're so much fun. Don't let the small size intimidate you. There are plenty of fully grown adults that shred them everyday. Myself included. Whatever you do, don't listen to this guy that made the video. He's dead wrong on everything. Everything he said, just know, in reality, it's the opposite.

[@topg5256]

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

[@Roose_Juice]

You can literally run them over with a car and they’re fine and he’s talking about durability lol

[@bearcom6958]

go buy a longboard then and see how much space it will take in your car

[@hentaifansandpfpusermustdi7021]

Nah it doesn't. Get a cruiser board but not pennyboard

[@ghostface4250]

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

[@noneck9008]

0:54 lol

[@daytonf993]

My penny board it wood and it feels amazing to me

[@LoLoolololololol359]

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

[@shiroshine7227]

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

[@EightyFourz]

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

[@OgdenSikel]

Sure could, but as a beginner I would use extreme caution...even me, as experiences as I am, would have to use a lot of balance effort to have a comfortable ride, and any large bumps on the bricks will make you feel quite unstable and prone to falling. It can be done, but it may not be the most comfortable and stress free ride haha!

[@sheepsneeze3686]

Don’t buy a penny board, proceeds to have fun

[@captiancookie433]

Pennyboards are amazing

[@razrdemonic]

You didn't put a space and KZbin had a translate thing on it lmao

[@CookieSunglasses]

sorry but I disagree. I appreciate your opinion though.

[@OgdenSikel]

That’s cool

[@ritzmontano837]

Man buying a penny board is good

[@phillycash4409]

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

[@lewisrobson8824]

I wouldn’t take any notice of this guys opinion on a penny boards ride. If you can actually skate these boards are remarkably stable for their size. I ride mine pretty hard at times and I’m forever amazed at its stability and how well it handles. It really feels like an extension of my body which naturally goes back to - can you skate?! Doesn’t look like the guy really can hence his problems riding a penny. My advice is buy a penny, swap out the wheels for some softer slightly bigger 78a 65mm. Ride as much as you can and you’ll reap the rewards of the 22” penny for its ride and small size when on the move!

[@OgdenSikel]

Wanna know if I can skate? Watch my last video.

[@arthurmarquez5960]

It’s small easy to use and easy to steer

[@DannYIIF]

Just get a downhill setup and skate that everywhere.

[@tenableprawn3559]

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

[@nathanxbond]

Don't be scared. They're so much fun.

[@sonnyday.]

Me and my friends just wanna skate around our village

[@buzzkath]

village? yea, i wanna ride around my neighborhood

[@siuuuu83]

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

[@OgdenSikel]

🤔🤔

[@dr0wme162]

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