I Bought the Cheapest Penny Board on Amazon...is it ACTUALLY GOOD?!

I bought the cheapest, 22-inch (fake) Penny Board on Amazon for $18! But how does it compare to the original Penny Board? This is an unboxing, riding, and review video to see if it's actually worth it!
2023 UPDATE! I am not able to find this particular board on Amazon anymore (they discontinued). IF YOU WANT TO BUY A SOLID, CHEAPER PENNY BOARD, you can use these affiliate links to two boards I really like

FINALLY a video not bashing these boards!!!!!

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Glad you thought so!! Happy riding 🤙🏼

[@moonstrifflimestone5493]

Great video! This gives me confidence that even though my penny board may not be the best quality, I can still have a lot of fun on it! :)

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Oh for sure! And at the end of the day, it’s all about whether you’re enjoying the cruise 🤘🏼

[@gilesagard6719]

"My penny senses are tingling" that and the skit made the video 100 times better because I love spiderman and it was super funny. Love the vids! 👍

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Yoooo I'm pumped you like that! It was definitely more fun to make that way! 😄

[@esmaerlefrankie8515]

My favourite video is your penny board cruising. I have been thinking about a transport for me to go to my faculty from my college for a while and we have a bicycle path but I was thinking of something more easier to bring. Then boom, saw your cool penny cruising vid, I have fallen into this rabbit hole now and I've been binge watching penny videos haha. Btw, my fav dinosaur is the Ankylosaurus cause I saw a cartoon about this kid and his bucket full of dinosaurs once. Anyways, keep posting your skating videos! I love them a lot.

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Yo Esmaerle! I appreciate your comment a ton! Penny boards (and nickel boards especially) are perfect for cruising along campus. I totally get the whole KZbin rabbit hole, and I for sure will keep posting cruising & skating videos! You are officially entered into the giveaway, and I gotta say you picked a great Dino! 😄🤘🏼

ive been using a Ridge Skateboard that I got from amazon for a while now, which i put some bones reds and new bushings in. I decided to get a real penny board recently and the difference was astounding!

[@tabithac.4631]

Thanks for helping me decide if I should buy this board or not, I am very new to skating and it helped a lot :)

i love ur vids! i really hope u gain more :)

[@nural29]

Hi there again :] My fav vid so far has to be this one. I bought a yellow marbles real Penny brand years ago and gotta say it was awesome, but here's the thing, I have been acquiring pennyboards from amazon, ebay, thrift stores, etc. For really low prices all of them. Never failed me once. If anything the occasional change of bushings or bearings, but in general terms nothing to complain about them cheaper versions. I never ride the real brand name nowadays. My fav dinosaur is the terrific Mosasaurus.

[@arikowidtrash7074]

whats up with the truck? 9:35 im thinking about replacing the wheels bearing and bushing and ur good to go right?

Breaking the law, breaking the law 😂

[@Skate_Membrane]

My bro bought a halo penny board for 35$ at Walmart in 2018. Years later the board is still good. switched the wheels from a longboard onto it and it turned amazing. Great value for decent penny.

[@jxbobagamingchannel5052]

This board was my first board and I did had to adjust it my uncle is a skateboard teacher and he was saying the same thing now I upgraded have a nice collection of boards but Yh I love penny boards to just cruise around in my area like I only use my penny board when I need a quick ride somewhere and it’s light but all my other boards like skateboard I use for tricks and my long board to get to school and back

[@nateross14]

Unless you're doing ollies and tricks, I wouldn't waste money buying heavier Penny trucks. The lighter knock off trucks is actually a good thing. I would way rather have a 3 lb board than a 4 lb one. Instead, just replace the bushings with Riptide bushings which will make the trucks ride much better than Penny trucks.

[@JonathanSunkari]

My favorite video is the summer penny cruising! Super chill/relaxing. Favorite dinosaur is the deinonychus lol.

[@pinkone6073]

tyler! hi, i have a question, i have a reaaally tight budget, i seen a 30$ pennyboard, it looks good but i dont know if i should to buy it, i wanna cruise arround or use it to transport like go to buy to de market or something like that. i was thinkin' in a longboard but they're expensive for me. i hope that you will answer me, thank u!!

[@TheTylerRossmann]

I can’t make that decision for you, but if you watched this video, then you probably have a better understanding of a “cheaper” / knock-off Penny board. They are definitely usable!

[@spauli-_-6173]

Hi, by the way the video ist great! I will by a penny board since months, but I can't afford a original, but I would by normal trucks after some months. My question at this point is, if it is possible to Attach Original trucks from penny to this board? (I hope my English is no to bad, greetings from Germany)

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Thanks for your comment! To answer your question, yes, you can definitely switch out the trucks later if you want. Before you do, I would just double check they are the same size trucks. I once bought new trucks not knowing they come in different sizes (because they fit deck sizes differently), and the new ones I got were too small so I had to return them to find ones that fit correctly!

[@armyxblinkowo3458]

This was very helpful because I really want a penny board and the real ones are very expensive

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Glad it could help! Happy riding 🤙🏼

[@BlueTrane2028]

Hit marketplace or Craigslist. I grabbed a nickel for my son yesterday for... $20. Missing bearings/spacer in one wheel and the nut. It also didn't have speed rings (washers) I had just upgraded the bearings in my longboard, two of the 8 were still good, so into the Nickel they went. Lock nut from Lowes finished it off. The bearings I used on the longboard don't need spacers or washers, so they all went into the Nickel. I'm sure people have gotten them more complete for even less but it's cool to know he has the actual brand version. He's a fairly new skater (9 years old), sometime I'll drop an original penny into his life to keep in his backpack for school, haha.

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Cool to hear!!

[@SophiaHerber]

The best video you ever made was the T-Rex riding a skateboard it really made me laugh. The best dinosaur is a pterodactyl.

I just bought my first penny board for 10 Australian dollars and i have owned many skateboards in the past but never managed to get the hang of it but 2 hours after stepping on the penny board i cruising

[@OoTWiSTEDFATEoO]

Would you recommend this over the other 30$ fake penny?

[@TheTylerRossmann]

I can’t for sure say - There are a lot of other fake penny boards on the market, and I’m not familiar with each one (and the specific one you’re referring too). Like I mentioned in the video, this is a good introductory board if you’ve never had one before or are on a very tight budget. The trucks & bearings are not the best on this one so other options may be better.

Yes, it's not bad for a beginner/someone starting out. The original Penny Board is obviously better, but it's also almost $100 more. If you're on a tight budget and have never ridden a penny board, I find this to be a good alternative

Very weird! You might wanna try loosening the bolt on the left side?

[@SkeletonSkeles]

@@TheTylerRossmann whats a bolt?

[@TheTylerRossmann]

The bolt screws in the wheel so the wheel doesn’t come off. Sometimes when one side is tighter than the there, it rides differently

[@randomname1737]

I got my own penny board i fixed it so it can turn to the side and its harder to balance and my little sister tried it on her own she almost fell and cried.she didnt even fall

Yeah adjusting the trucks definitely makes it ride differently!

[@nunspekabla9833]

Just becouse the penny board is not from the biccest penny board company it doesnt mean its a "fake penny board" its a penny board still

[@TheTylerRossmann]

Even though small, plastic-deck skateboards have been around for decades, Penny Skateboards actually coined the term “Penny Board” for their design of this type of board. So now when other companies copy the exact design of Penny Skateboards’ 22-inch plastic skateboard, they are literally creating a cheaper/knock-off “Penny” board. This is why I used the term “fake penny board” to describe this board in the video

[@hala2322]

Can someone give me links to good penny boards from Amazon?
