Is A Penny Board Still Worth Buying in 2022?! |

So like is buying a penny board worth it still? with so many other competitors, should you or should you not buy a penny board?
In this video, I will be explaining penny boards, showing you the alternatives, and helping you to decide whether you should buy one?
Want to get it?
Penny boards are tiny plastic cruiser boards that have become very popular and mainstream over the years. Lots of people that don’t necessarily skate probably have one, but there have been very mixed thoughts on them. I want to give you answers.

Skate to school-...sadly where i live they dont do that so like its a bit weird but idc it looks fun :)))

it would be cool but I lived too far from mine to skate there, still would be cool tho.

in my country the roads are so shit we cant skate to school and I live pretty near mine its not walking distant that's why I want to skate to it instead but I don't wanna die when I suddenly run into a pebble my school is down a hill.

I've had the exact same design but in a 27", finally getting back into riding it and might also get a regular skateboard later on this year since I've been looking into just general skating too.

[@tpalmer]

i'd highly suggest getting a normal board. and right on man, its a hard design to come by nowadays

[@insanogeddon]

The 22" takes up to 72mm wheels without alteration and there is NO better take everywhere transport option and with ceramic bearings w/o grip take or wood a perfect all-weather board.

[@edgarthekiddo990]

Nice video ! Yeah I’ve been looking for a video like this because I’ve debated with myself if I should get a skateboard or penny board, I’m a college student & doing tricks doesn’t call my attention, I just want something light and that can move me fast besides my car.

[@tpalmer]

Go for it, its cheaper than other options and I think still pretty decent, would not consider it the best option but for price and versatility, I would say its a good option.

[@matthewb4017]

great video g✊🏽 helped a lot with my decision

[@tpalmer]

Sounds good stay tuned for next week when I review some other boardS!

[@Vanaynay.]

Is it just me or I name the boards Penny 22” then Nickel 27”, Dime 29” Quarter 32” then Dollar 36” orrr I’m just crazy.......

[@tpalmer]

I mean, I cant say I do the same but name em whatever ur feelin homie, aint no judgement here

[@Heisenberg_07]

Isn't that what they are named tho?

[@johnnydeadd]

Fun fact: "Penny" has nothing to do with money, and is named for the creator's sister.

[@Edwinbraun20]

I ride 22 inch penny. The best board in the world. I have electric longboard and regular skatepark board too but… penny with its light weight and big wheels roll really smooth in my situations. I rarely find use for my skatepark board. It more like my souvenir. I don’t have skatepark anywhere near so I just cruise on the streets and check out beautiful girls. Electric board is very cool but it’s heavy, large and needs to be charged. It’s like taking a bicycle out. While penny is just 😎👍🏻 perfect. Attach it to the backpack or just hold it with two fingers. No problem. For all the traveling, beach and city life loving people… penny is the greatest investment you will ever make. Get this board and… new routes, new friends, new girlfriends, new adventures, new life… it’s gonna change you my friend. Get it and ride it!

I got a penny to start with, I'm going to buy a larger board too. The penny is fun but is pretty unforgiving when you're learning

[@tpalmer]

Yeah it can be a bit annoying but it’s a reliable board. Nearly indestructible!

[@blazemaster6019]

tbh im new to skateboarding and my first board was a penny board. but I'm not too sure to ride it or not because its really small so I was just wondering that am I supposed to buy the normal skateboard first. if yes is the normal skateboard smooth enough cruise around it. is it better or not

Just today I get an order the same penny board that you have your haha

[@tpalmer]

Nice!

[@andomare]

I feel like 100$ is too much for penny, so I'm gonna look for used ones. Do you have any advice on how to check the board and trucks? I'm gonna swap out the wheels anyway, I have ricta clouds 78a and some fresh bearings.

[@tpalmer]

bearings, if you are getting your own and making a custom modded board, I would get a brand like reds, or an equivalent bearing that is an abec 7 (longboard bearings-super smooth ride, long spin time), and I would get reverse kingpin trucks personally if I was trying to do anything besides normal skating. Personally i'm partial to cruiser boards from brands like landyachts, so thats what I would do if you didn't want to buy a penny.

[@canemisterija292]

Why didn’t you buy the nickel 27”?? Is it to big to travel/ have on a backpack?? I have a 22” pennyboard now (have since I was a teenager and learned to skate on it) but it’s what you said pretty uncomfortable for long cruising 😅. So I’m considering to buy a new pennyboard but then the nickel “27, do you have any tips?

[@tpalmer]

I’d say if you have a penny 22” already get the 27 just to have another option. But I still prefer the 22”

[@sus__king7892]

Hey i have a question, I really wanna buy a penny board mainly for getting from my house to various locations cause i really dont like bikes and scooters, the road is mainly straight. Do you recommend? Edit: Sorry for my english its my second language.

[@tpalmer]

if you're just wanting to travel locally, I would get a wood cruiser board, which is the size I referred to in between a longboard and penny size. It will be most comfortable and also most efficient. slightly more expensive though

[@lonelyberg1808]

What did you take ?

[@vyn6649]

I know that Penny boards aren't really suit for beginners but I'm just prob going to use it for hanging out and stuff for now do you think that fine? I'm planning to buy one in a few weeks or should I just go for another type of board?

[@SnD340]

Penny boards are legitimate the hardest to learn. A nickel board is a great size for a compact skateboard that offers more. If you particularly want a retro cruiser board feeling. Penny board it is, if not a nickel board gives very similar feeling but more forgiving.

[@tpalmer]

I think I can partially agree with that^ but honestly if you learn on a penny you'll just be better at riding other boards. so take it how you want but I think either way you'll be good if you really wanna learn.

[@rickyfever]

Nice vid! I hate penny boards so much. the deck is way too small. I like longboards for travel and regular skateboards for everything else

[@tpalmer]

hey dude everyones got their thing but thanks for the comment, and when I say travel, I mean like being able to put the board in a suitcase ya feel? but yeah I prefer other things over penny's for sure

[@rickyfever]

@@tpalmer yea when I said travel I meant getting from point A to point B

[@MrBvillegas12]

Is it safer to ride on streets or sidewalks? My street isn’t that smooth but my sidewalks have these gaps in between them and I’m scared my wheels would get caught in it.

[@tpalmer]

I mean, its all your choice. id say skate wherever it's best to do that day. I prefer the street because there is more freedom there

Btw. Your vids are super cool, continue like that! ✌😄

[@tpalmer]

I appreciate that you like my videos! really! but honestly I think that buying a penny board is going to suit you better than a crappy skateboard. more money in a board the better, but either tomorrow or the next day ill have a new video coming out that will recommend a different board to try out so be sure to stick around for that!

Just bought mine for about 30 bucks recently, its a 22 inch and since it was brand new, it just bends a lot. I am new to this so I don't really know if its normal or not, maybe because its an offbrand? or do original pennys bend also? pleasee heelp

they all bend, but penny's usually are strong and bend as necessary and then go back to their proper shape

[@mantuajaff4725]

idk but im getting random hype about getting a penny. Is that good if I only use penny board when I go somewhere?

[@tpalmer]

I mean its def not bad as a small form of transport. wouldn't recommend long transits but short trips its easy and convenient to ride, but if you don't like the width of it (5 inches) maybe look into buying an eggboard instead. its good for transport and roughly the same length, but wider and more comfortable. You can buy one here: eggboards.com/?ref=xr0l70rsdw It is an affiliate link "TRENTPALMER" for 10% OFF!

oh jeez sorry for not responding I never saw this. best thing to do in my opinion is get the widest, best turning trucks that will work for the deck you are skating (i.e. double kingpin longboard trucks or something similar, and make sure your bearings are abec 7 from a brand like bones redds)
