Penny Board Review: The 7 Year Test

[@KASTRO1o]

Nice to see you back can’t believe it’s been 4 years

[@CottageandCompany]

Crazy how fast time moves! Thanks for being a loyal subscriber for all that time!

[@richthekev]

Another 4 years is crazy af huh?!

[@Edbaggle29]

i remember watching your videos back when i was in middle school. videos like this about your pennyboard inspired me to start just cruising on my skateboard and i even eventually bought a nickelboard lol. now that i pretty much grew up and finished my first year of college, i wanted to let you know that its so awesome to see you upload again and i cant wait to see the new content you're gonna come up with :)

[@CottageandCompany]

Thank you for the amazing comment. It means a lot to know that I offered you a bit of inspiration. I'm glad you are enjoying the new content, and look forward to rolling more out in the near future. Best of luck in school. Never grow up too much...it's aways good to have a bit of kid in you :)

[@asmrlife2644]

Hahaha damn, literally same. He also unintentionally introduced me to asmr before I even knew what it was. The voice & vibe from the vids is soothing and relaxing as hell. Nice to see that nothings changed besides the name

[@RageElixir]

great to see you making videos still! I remember when you first dropped the penny board video

[@ethandembitz2398]

Penny brand boards are truly incredible. I found one in a storm drain outlet all rusted and beat up, bought new bearings and cleaned it up a bit and it’s an incredible ride. Definitely recommend!

[@vicrattlehead8665]

We bought our boards the same exact year. I also haven’t done a THING to it maintenance wise. Never even changed the bearings nor have I lubricated them, and it still feels like I’m riding a cloud. I can only imagine how smooth it would feel with a bearing change

[@CottageandCompany]

That is awesome! Glad to hear it's holding up as well as mine!

[@vicrattlehead8665]

@mhm ok haha my penny board kinda took a toll and the bearings died after like 7 years, replaced the bushings, bearings, and wheels and my god it feels like a cloud

[@DonaldHSchon]

This is very likely THE best testimonial Penny could have asked for - real life long term testing that demonstrates what a great value their boards are. I'm 63 and just got back into skateboarding after a 45-year hiatus. I bought my son several Penny boards when he was growing up and I always thought they were intriguing so it was no surprise that I bought Penny boards - 4 of them - when I got back into the sport. 🤙

[@s0ulsonyx]

Hi😊, ainda está andando de skate?

[@Deadrops]

Man,I remember when you posted the girst video of this Penny, it's so nice to get a feedback of nowadays stats. Mine is in great condition too,with no maintenance lol. Greetings from Brazil!

[@CottageandCompany]

Great to hear your board has been holding up well! They're very durable. Thanks for the comment!

love the birds chirping in the background. Makes the video more calming and zen like haha

Birds are nature’s music for sure!

[@bruin4937]

Really good review, thank you. Your 7-year experience with your board and documented proof of how well it has held up is really a testament to the quality of Penny skateboards. Thanks for this review!

[@CottageandCompany]

Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@kizzn_]

This made my day! Can’t wait for the next video

[@CottageandCompany]

So glad! More coming soon!

[@ekkanofiqandriyana7325]

This is the video I've looking for many years, the video that tell how the stock penny takes the beating for years. Thanks for making this video now iam really confident with my purchase.

[@ethanperry714]

You are the reason that I bought a Penny board many years ago, and I've used it heavily all through my first semester of college in addition to using it throughout middle and high school. This video brought back so many memories for me and it's so great to see you on KZbin again, even if I saw your video 6 months late hahaha. I hope you know you've inspired so much of your audience and I hope everything is going well for you!

[@CottageandCompany]

Hey Ethan! Nice to hear from you. Can’t thank you enough for your kind words. Means A lot. Very happy I provided a bit of inspiration to get a board. Thanks for all the years of being a subscriber. Here’s to many more! Take care 🍻

[@ethanperry714]

@@CottageandCompany Wow thanks so much for the reply, that means so much!! You take care as well! 🍻

[@shumiwu]

I remember watching your videos as a young teen back when I was in middle school. You inspired me to get a penny board. I stopped once I reached high school because I began driving myself but ever since I graduated, my friends and I have been riding around the city exploring places we've never been to before. Thank you for inspiring me to pick up my penny again.

[@AwlrightProductions]

Your videos are always so peaceful. Thanks brother!

[@CottageandCompany]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching

[@missdann]

Hey dude! I just ordered brand new bearings, hardware, and new trucks off the penny board website! They were so quick to ship and honestly it's not too expensive to truly make your board brand new with the same well loved deck you've always had. When I took apart my penny board the hardware and trucks were blown out and caked full of dirt. Honestly it's so worth the time!! I had to watch a few youtube tutorials but my board is solid now and moving faster.

[@chong7759]

I Tried a skateboard (not a penny) and i loved it! I’m 12 years old and i searched on Amazon some longboard but there are too big, so i searched for a not official pennyboard, but i’m not shure to buy it, but After this video i’m probably going to buy an 27” pennyboard because are very strong and they have an extreme durability! So i preferre to spent little more, but better. 👍 Ps. Are passed some day and i bought a penny nickel board 👍 (casper)

[@ClarenceTutorials]

Damn time moves fast. I remembered watching you when I was in the 5th grade, you actually inspired me to buy a board. I’m a first year senior now and seeing your vids again brings back the nostalgia.

[@CottageandCompany]

Time sure does fly! Thanks for sticking around all this time. Glad you’re well!

[@oORoBeOo]

Nice seeing one of your vids popping in my feed, I remember watching your penny board storied years ago when this was really trending. Have a nice one mate!

[@CottageandCompany]

Thanks for hanging around for all those years. I appreciate the comment. Hope you're well!

[@K_spawn]

I'm a street skater, and I would consider buying that for rainy days only

[@sneakthief2638]

Just bought a rasta coloured authentic Penny Australia 2014 board from Goodwill for only $3, all it needed was a little TLC; 2 bearings needed to be replaced / other 6 bearings cleaned & relubricated (Marvel Mystery Oil works wonders)... Sanded down the edges, wiped it down real good. Very good buy! I ride "normal" skateboards & this is my first Penny board... This thing cruises all the way down the block with just 1 push. For a 10 year old board, it is great!!

[@malachiissaih]

The joy it brings me to know that you’re back is insane. Your videos inspired me to get a board and start exploring. Keep up the fantastic work brotha 🤙🏼

[@CottageandCompany]

Very happy to hear that! Thanks for being a loyal subscriber. Have fun out there!

[@TT-nh2od]

Bro I legit have a white penny board with black wheels and red hardware because of your videos. I found your channel when I was a senior in high school. I bought a house this past December and I rescued 2 huskies who are always full of energy so I started riding my penny board again and I let them pull me on it for like an hour a day in my neighborhood they love it. Anyways, good to see you uploading again this brought back memories lol.

[@CottageandCompany]

haha thats awesome! Is your board holding up as good as mine? Congrats on the house. I adopted a dog recently, he was a stray on the streets of Bogota Colombia actually. Might meet him in a future video. Cheers!

[@TT-nh2od]

Kualalumpar Videos Holding up great! I took the grip tape off about a year ago so barely any wear on the plastic and nothing wrong with the trucks, wheels, or screws. Congrats on the dog btw!

[@ellie3565]

one of your videos from 7 years ago came up on my recommended and I checked your channel to see if you were still posting and after 7 years, woah

[@gnuffR159]

I just found this video and I’m completely shook that you still have that board. I got into penny boards when I was in middle school and I’d watch all your penny vids.

[@CottageandCompany]

Haha I’m glad you found my videos again! Penny boards for life! ❤️

[@RobLewis3]

Crazy to think it's been over 10 years since I saw your first vid. Awesome board

[@TheBlackopsbeast360]

Glad you’re back! I will say that I had a pair of Vans where the waffle pattern sticks out as bumps. They sat inside the deck of the penny board amazingly!

[@Illbi42069]

Still have my board from 2011 and its held up really well too! pretty much the same amount of wear as yours. Great review!

[@CottageandCompany]

Good to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@sunflower-zy1bv]

i really like your videos- i've only watched like 2 or 3 but they're very nice and peaceful. great job! 👍

[@hitori_gurashi]

im so glad your video popup in my feed! its been a while still love your videos edit: Penny Brand are amazing, 7yrs and still rides smoothly, even w/out maintance i got a knock off 27" still amazing after 3yrs, but when i cleaned it last day the pivot cup came off into pieces... 😅

[@sganzerlag]

Dude I own a Globe Bantam Clear and a Pennyboard in large part because of your videos. My pennyboard has required new pivot cups to the trucks. But no other maintenance was required. My nickelboard also needed new pivot cups after several years. The Globe Bantam Clear has been flawless from a maintenance standpoint (but it is annoyingly heavy). Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.

[@PandaPower3195]

Welcome back! its so good to see you again!

[@CottageandCompany]

Thank you! Nice to hear from you!

Do it! Sorry to hear about the road surfaces, but I'm sure there are some beautiful roads in rural England to ride on.

[@K_spawn]

I ended up getting one because of your video xD i got the Casper glow 22, i was about to get a knock off from big 5.. but I'm 220 lbs so i went with Penny. And i don't regret it it's my second day rolling getting used to it and i love it

[@K_spawn]

Very awesome review ! I'm looking in to getting one, i have a regular skateboard and want a penny for rainy days

[@donutfilms4124]

no wayy you posted I remember watching the penny vs nickel at like 12 years old deciding which one to get. It’s been a while...

[@CottageandCompany]

Sure has! Nice to be back. Thanks for the comment! Hope you're well.

[@K_spawn]

I just used it on rainy weather and it's awesome! No remorse because it's plastic i also notice it's faster than my regular skateboard while riding with the stock bearings, if i free spin the wheel it doesn't spin much but when i roll on it it is very fast

I have had my original penny board for 9 years! I accidentally had a huge fall and it snapped in half and I was super sad and surprised that this thing could snap:( What we did instead of buying a new one we took the wheels from the broken one and put the on the deck of an cheap one to save money🙂

Does it truly matter riding in the rain? I heard with penny boards the bearings are stainless steel and don't rust.

Ehhh nice to see another video man, great to see your penny in good condition after all those years, mad nostalgia from my first time watching your unboxing on it

[@highlist1665]

Price of that penny board?

[@mannyb4265]

What technique did you mainly use for braking on this board? if you've been tail scraping, that wear on the tail is quite impressive!

[@crookedtool]

Also, if the nose was used for braking, the wear is amazing! The same goes for the sides of the board. If you used it for braking, it's just mindblowing! But if you didn't, it's incredibly mundane. 🙄🙄🙄 (you think frequent usage over 7 years of tail scraping could possibly look like that? 🤣)

[@adventuresofthelastdodo6404]

What ever happened to the peanut board and banana board?

[@CottageandCompany]

I still have them!

[@sebastianrubenach5044]

Thank You once again for another great video!! Do you know whether or not Penny has kept this productionquality? It's not unheard of that a company lowered the product's quality for finacial gains once they established their name. I'm thinking about getting a board in the future, but I have no experience nor any knowledge of boards etc. It's just a thought I had watching this (awesome) video. Thank you once again!

[@CottageandCompany]

Hi there! This is actually something I was thinking about while making this video. I unfortunately, cannot comment on Pennys current production quality since I only have my 7 year old board. Maybe I'll have to get a new board in the future and compare the two. Best of luck, sorry I couldn't be more help. Thanks for watching!

[@sebastianrubenach5044]

Kualalumpar Videos No problem at all! Thank You very much!

[@joeyolid9188]

😍😍😍😍

[@redcloud4741]

My pivot cups have worn down and now the metal part has been worn down a bit. Had this happened to you? Do you know of anywhere to by replacements or make your own?

[@sganzerlag]

Penny sells replacement pivot cups. They are sold together with spare bushings. You have to buy the bushings in order to get the pivot cups. Unfortunately the penny trucks use non-standard size pivot cups, so only the original Penny pivot cups or Penny clone pivot cups will fit. Hope this isn't too late to help your pennyboard.

[@kyle-yo5uj]

for 7 years you used the board rain or shine and never replaced or at least cleaned your bearings? didn't it get stiff? like wasn't there any signs of corrosion?

[@CottageandCompany]

Surprisingly no! As the video shows, it's still in pretty good shape!

[@phoebeblaze3668]

I don't get why people hate on penny boards. You can't deny that they're durable, smooth to ride and are just generally great cruisers. Sure, they aren't the best for tricks, but that's not what they're made for.

[@DonaldHSchon]

Agree. I think they're excellent cruisers and are reasonably priced, too. Really hard to beat this combination. BTW, three guys at Braille have videos of them doing tricks on the Penny, Nickel, and the 32" cruisers.

[@phoebeblaze3668]

@@DonaldHSchon right? I got myself a 32" penny and it's so good for just riding around in town, can do some basic tricks on it, but it's definitely more difficult to do tricks on it because of the flexibility. Still such a good street board though

[@sterlingpinoy]

hey, I dont know if you'll see this but I hope you do. i have the same shoe size as you but i may weigh more. i weigh 180 and my question is an easy one. are the bushings hard enough to be stable? i want to get a penny pretty badly it's just that I want to make sure my penny board will treat me right once I get it like yours has treated you. thanks and I hope I said what I needed to. also....just one more actually. how satisfying is it to see your pure white board age from its once perfect white to dirtied up from adventures?

[@CottageandCompany]

Hey there! From my experience the bushings are plenty stable, very little wobble, especially at high speeds where many boards tend to do it. It’s been nice that my penny has held up to well over the years but it would be nice to give it a bath to try and restore its white shine 😀. Thanks for watching!
