I've never ever knew how to skate board in my life I got my penny three days ago and I've been riding non stop and it been a hell alot of fun because I got it down pretty fast

[@kaitlyncho4242]

i just ordered a penny board and i thought it would be hard to ride but i saw your comment. thanks for the motivation i guess haha

[@Sk8erbaker]

I also learnt in a Penny board being a total beginner. I agree with Kuala Lumpar in that the Nickel is probably better choice as you have more board space to play around with. It's only when you get to know your board well, depending in your learning curve can be anything from 2 days to longer. Balance is essential, I have been riding my own Penny for 4 months and it's only now that am understanding the boards nature, how to control turns etc. in the beginning you think how hard can it be standing on a board but the intricacies are far more bigger than you would imagine. You know when you're doing it right as cruising seems like gliding on air and you get that 'buzz' feeling! Happy skating everyone

[@elmstump]

Thank you! I'm a beginner and you really helped me make a decision between the two boards! I'm gonna get a Tie-Dye Nickel. :D

[@CottageandCompany]

Elianna Mabaet Awesome! Enjoy your new board!

[@alishasantiago734]

I just realized they're both named after coins >.

[@perlafigueroa572]

[@spiderjesse4632]

Wow okay

[@kikikhailah73]

Alisha Santiago ikr idk if theirs a dime but if not they need to make one

[@Sarah-cf5lz]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jclyntoledo]

Technically Penny was named after a person 😂... But they probably wanted to keep the theme so named the "27 one nickel, but pennyboard is a brand

[@kelseypforr1714]

I never really rode a skateboard and I started with a penny had it for about a year now never fell off learned in like 3 mins really simple

[@connor9568]

I will get that too then.

[@bailynn4205]

I was gonna maybe get a penny board bc I feel like the nickel is too bulky and the penny looks just easier in my opinin

[@lemonhead229]

In martial arts class balancing helped me a lot!!! I was literally able to pick up on skating well in just the first day... Balance exercises is what I recommend... It's VERY useful when you have good balance. You can practice this even before you get your board :D

[@CottageandCompany]

+Kualalumpar Videos What Should I get between a penny, nickel, and a duster if I want to cruise and do some tricks?

[@lizziehigh]

I had the exact same experience when I got my first longboard because of martial arts

[@mikaelmae9236]

MC Galvy true

[@du11scythe]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I'll be going to San Diego soon and I wanted to take it with me. The thing about the Penny is that it is super portable and it is very popular for riding around on the beach. Anyways thank you so much for helping me decide!

[@fg.4172]

All this time I have had a nickel board, i thought i had a pennyboard but i doubted that because it was larger. Now i know i have made the right choice.

[@PennyATW]

I've owned a penny for 3 days and im already confident and good at it thanks to your video helping me to choose which one KL. You earned a sub :)

[@CottageandCompany]

Glad to hear! Thanks a lot!

[@maddiedris26]

The part about taking a month to learn isn't necessarily true. I had never stepped foot on a skateboard in my life, and my friends wanted me to try it. I got on one of their pennies and learned within a few hours.

[@CottageandCompany]

The learning curve differs for everyone. From my experience I have noticed, to become 100% comfortable, stable, and efficient at riding a skateboard, it takes around a month. It depends on many factors though. Great that you learned in so little time! have fun!

[@user-tb7ik9yf2t]

I got my penny board a few weeks ago as my first board. Decided to skip out on getting a nickel, I knew I would get a penny in the long run, and wanted the extra challenge. Thanks for making these videos, they're super entertaining to watch and have helped me pick out my board. 😀

[@CottageandCompany]

chipthe ehtpihc Nice choice! Glad I could help out!

[@evto2679]

I've bought a pennyboard recently and I learned how to ride it in 2 days. Thanks for your advice my sister really wants one too so this was really helpful for her. :)

[@CottageandCompany]

SuperSam♥ Glad I could help! :)

[@ForeverCellist]

So to clarify, I'm starting college in the fall and I've heard that the penny is great for college students because it's so small and is the easiest to store and carry around. However, I have never in my life ridden any kind of board. So would it still be better to start with a nickel? Are they relatively portable/storable as well? (Like for example, I've heard a penny can easily be stored under your desk so you don't have to leave it outside or something.) Or would a penny still be okay, despite not having any kind of experience? Based on what I've read I was leaning towards a penny but I also don't want to not be able to ride it, haha. Thanks!

[@CottageandCompany]

ForeverCellist I would highly recommend a Penny for commuting around a college campus. Like you said the portability is key. Don't be intimidated by learning on a Penny, With practice you will begin to feel comfortable any any board you choose to start on. Good luck, and have fun!

[@ForeverCellist]

Kualalumpar Videos Thank you so much!!

[@འཇིགསམེདརྣམརྒྱལ]

Papa bless, what a good question

[@juniorfortnite4503]

Penny is the move

[@bigdaddy10056]

Penny would be good for a campus but if you want to use them for like example skating to the shop over bumps and cracks they are not the best but yeah I recommend a penny

[@asphyxia8875]

It took me a day to get comfortable with my board

[@crowntherobin]

My first board was a penny, and I don't know how, but it was so easy to ride. Like, I had a normal sense to be on it, and I've fallen a few times from having a misplaced foot somewhere, but I can keep a good balance and now I'm pretty amazing on the penny. So any board to start off on is a personal opinion!

[@corrze9221]

I was borrowing my friends penny board and it didn't take a long time it took me 10 or 15 minutes or less to learn how to use a penny board. I knew a Nickel is easy to ride for beginners but I like going fast so I chose the penny board as my starter board.

[@kykysurf5116]

I started out with a penny board and it was good but hard then i bought a nickel and it was way easier then i thought it would be! it’s so much easier but the down side is the penny is more portable then the nickel

[@natashajumari]

Should I get the 6 or the 6 plus

[@everythingtv7433]

Buy a andriod.

[@A.LL2066]

[@theteperoshow1896]

[@waterdude2286]

Hey nice new Penny Nickel! Thanks for your response from my last comment i got the Golden Cup Peanut Cruiser Board and i love it! Plus thanks to this new video i made my own custom penny nickel which could come in next week i'm so PUMPED!!!

[@CottageandCompany]

Awesome! Glad I could help out. Thanks for watching, keep an eye out for new videos! -KL

[@dinodemopoulos3336]

I have a nickel board, and it is amazing. Penny boards i find are too small, and when i stand on them, i feel like they will spin out of control, because they don't have very good balance,so overall I strongly agree with this video.

[@griffmorris3430]

I would recommend to buy I nickel first because of what you said and I just bought my cousin a nickel, but I learned to ride on a Penny and I really was just foucused on doing tricks. The Penny is not a board really a crusing, unless you live in Maryland or something. I really recommend the nickel for beginners, but I recommend the Penny for trickin!

[@mrswagger697]

How often do you grease your penny bearings?

[@PricilliaYoong]

Which board is better to do tricks?

[@TheAprilmartin]

nickel

[@curlyQ6789]

Penny, it's a lot smaller and easier to maneuver

[@NCAJ99]

I'm sure you've heard this plenty of times before, but I still can't decide! I really like the portability of the penny and how easy it is to carry around but I don't absolutely have to have portability. The nickel is really cool too and I like that's it's more stable and better for beginners. So I have two questions, which board would you recommend? Is the nickel heavy and bulky? I would greatly appreciate any advice or help! Great job on the vids man keep up the good work!

[@CottageandCompany]

Hey, Personally I prefer the Penny. The size makes it a unique board. The Nickel itself is not heavy and bulky, must compared to the Penny, yes it is.

[@NCAJ99]

Thanks man with your help I think I'll get the penny! Keep on making the awesome videos!

[@greyparker4395]

I'm starting out with a Penny Board becouse in the shop my feet were very small compared to the Nickel. I wear a size five in women's. Would it be still be easier on the Nickel even though my feet are very small?

[@abbypelerose]

just got my penny it's actually really easy to ride!!

[@CottageandCompany]

Abby Pelerose Great!

[@Hjorthn]

I doesn't really matter which board you start with, you should make the choice. I have both a Original Penny and a Nickel, and I would say starting out with the Original would help you with any other board. Put it's your choice. But aren't I right or what?

[@nativecreek6775]

personally as a skater who rides a penny, i dont think it takes a Month to learn to ride. im teaching a friend of mine and she is doing just fine after about a week.

[@eight08life15]

Hey I notice you have no problem going pretty fast. I am a beginner, but when slightly downhill it feels I will hurt myself if I keep going. What I want to know ways to stop that isn't foot braking(I like my shoes :)) and jumping off the board? I was also looking at slide gloves, but could they be used only for braking purposes?

[@CottageandCompany]

Unfortunately its something you'll have to accept with riding a board. Your shoes will get torn up :(

[@eight08life15]

So is that a "no" on slide gloves for braking purposes only?

[@CottageandCompany]

***** yeah, sliding gloves are for sliding, not stopping

[@eight08life15]

Okay thanks.

[@bigdaddy10056]

Proper skate shoes are the wise choice but you could learn how to powerslides it's just they are super hard on penny's because of how much the wheels grip

[@ethansilberberg9415]

I can "ride" a skateboard. I can go down hills and push myself but I'm not experienced. I like the size of penny. What should I get? PS you have helped me so much along this route of choosing. Keep up the great vids!

[@Saraphina6]

Hey! I'm 16, 5 ft 2 with size 3 UK feet (tiny I know haha) and have never ridden a skateboard in my life but I want to get one for my 17th birthday. I'm just going to use the board for cruising and going down small hills. I don't mind having to carry a little extra weight with the nickel and hear it's better for beginners but I'm not sure if it will be too big for me because my feet are so small. What board do you think I should get?

[@diobrando9532]

Sarah Anne Hi, so I am also 5’2 but with size 4 UK feet. I’ve never really had a problem with the nickel board being to big for me. I think it won’t be harder for you on a nickel board but it might just look a little big. But I’ve also ridden an penny board and it’s really easy to ride, so I just recommend getting the size you want. Just pick the cruiser that you like the best, from my experience it isn’t really hard at all.

[@diobrando9532]

Sarah Anne sorry I just realized that you posted this 4 years ago! So which one did you end up getting?

[@user-vp4gb9vp8h]

Just a video suggestion. Why don't you do a video on how to ride a penny board? Would be great if you did! Great video by the way!

[@destinymartinez6712]

I like how you respond to every comment. It must get tiring lol.

[@TheGhostdenied]

Just got my Penny board and I'm a beginner. I really like it since its light and portable. I forget sometimes where I'm suppose to put my back foot since the board is small but it's fine, I'll get used to it.

[@CooleBoy226]

dit you get the nickel or the penny

[@TheGhostdenied]

Penny.

[@CooleBoy226]

yeah i like the penny much more than the nickel.

[@WaterWolf0222]

Oh ya I learned in about 90 minutes and already know how to ride a penny smoothly

[@anna.grigoriu]

For some reason i first got the normal penny.. Learned to ride on that one, never rode any skateboard before. Took me about 3 days to get the hang of it and after that i was sure i want to get a nickel too.. Both are AMAZING boards, really worth trying. Since i got a thibg for red I've got the polka penny and the Hosoi nickel :p love them both so much.

[@birdbon3s]

hey, i very recently got a nickel board abd avsolutely love it! my friend has a penny and i got to ride that and i loved it too. would it be worth my money to get a penny already having a nickel?

[@Everdayvideos]

For me I learned on the penny and it was terrible over bumps until I put gold cup stok'ems on them.If you have a penny board get gold cup stok'ems they are a good investment.

[@kaykayhang7590]

Late, but what if we're a beginner, but we rode on a penny board to learn how to skate and got the hang of it, but just don't use it though?

[@kamyllemorinville6060]

I've pretty much watched all your videos about the penny and the nickel and I am still really torn between the two. I always thought having a smaller, portable board would be perfect but I am scared it's going to be really hard to learn how to skate on it. I am a surfer so I do know the bigger it is, the easier, but I have always wanted a penny. I am also pretty small, (5'2 and my feet are a women size 6) so I think the penny would fit. I would just really like to have your opinion. THANKS btw your videos are really good and your content helps a lot. x

[@CottageandCompany]

Kamylia Morinville Glad I could help! It not hard to learn! Definitely no harder than surfing It just takes a bit of practice. If you want a Penny I'd 100% recommend it. Sounds like a good fit for you! Enjoy it!

[@lxxiedits9586]

Thank you this helped a lot I am a beginner and I want to get a penny board and learn how to ride and i didn't know which board would be the best for a beginner, so thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks man ive been comparing them and i think i might get a nickel. Great vido

[@CottageandCompany]

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching. -KL

[@xXSheppSXx]

i like the nickle because it looks more easy to turn with it

[@derynecaniff6618]

I got my penny over sprig break. I've never tried out a skateboard until I bought my first penny. I didn't know how to ride a penny until I kept practicing. You say that you fully learn in 1-2 months meanwhile I learned in 1 1/2 days. Also the guy who helped me pick out my board said that the penny is easier than the nickle but he had different reasons why, I forgot what they were. Anyway just getting that out there how it was kinda different from what you were dating not sure who is right or wrong. Also I really like your channel.

[@CottageandCompany]

Thanks! Glad to hear you learned quickly.Learning to ride differs vastly for everyone. The 1-2 months that I gave was a generalization of the length of time it may take someone to learn to ride with confidence and comfort.

[@dwagin6315]

If you have big feet then get a nickel. If you have smaller feet get a dime. What I think is a 7 inch foot is for dime, and 8 and above is for nickel. 8 inch feet you can just choose what board you want. I prefer the nickel (9 1/2 inch foot) because it is bigger, fits my foot, thicker, and is just for me. It turns slower than a dime from my experience but it doesn't matter.

[@tomsafail]

I loved the penny board story it's what makes me happy aswell

[@felixbowers2012]

i ride a ripstick ripster so i have a good balance allready and can ride over bumps fine, i really like the penny is that sensible

[@CottageandCompany]

Yes, as long as your comfortable riding the board, it is a sensible decision. Good luck! -KL

[@santinasmith7695]

Cool tips for cruiser boarding, bro! Thanks heaps! I got size 18 fins, so I'm defo gunna ride a Nickel! Cheers! Nick - a skater guy wid the fins.

[@Benny46drift]

what about feet positions on the Penny? looks like when you are pushing off your front foot is straight but then you turn it so both feet go across the board? so... do you then change the front foot to kick off again?

[@sunjitkahlon4560]

Hey, I've been skating for about a year and a bit, and all I've skated on is a 22". My board isn't a Penny, it's a fake, but all my friends have real penny's and i like how they feel, but because I already have a 22", I want a 27". Should I get a nickel or a real penny??

[@brunettepiqen]

My first board was the original penny, it took me about 15 minutes before i was out cruising, didn't fall a single time. But i'm a snowboarder don't know if that makes a difference.

[@CottageandCompany]

Very good! ENjoy it! -KL

[@Janklys]

I would love a penny board and I was dead center on getting it, and I'm a beginner. But after you said nickel is better for people who just started, I'm starting to reconsider. Penny board being lighter, more agile, better mobility and looking great. But nickel, same brand, better for beginners, and larger. I don't want to buy both and I really want a penny but I'm afraid I'll get into injuries a lot if I get the Penny. Please Help! Thank you so much and I love your videos! You're amazing!

[@CottageandCompany]

Thanks! If you want to get a Penny than thats the best board for you. The Penny is a great board for beginners too. Once you can ride a Penny you can ride anything. Good luck!

[@Janklys]

Hey man, its been a month now and the Penny is amazong! I'm so glad I came across your videos. Once again, thank you so much.

[@ctkelly2000]

Great video, I will definitely subscribe! I tried my friends penny, I loved it and got a fake. I then wanted to get a real one, and your video 'original vs organic' helped me choose the original. I got a flourescent deck! The main reason why I didn't get organic is because my friends would probably play a prank and bury it 😂. But back to the point, great videos and I have a suggestion for a video (it's quite weird), do one helping people choose a nice colour! Thanks

Ive learnt to ride using my friends nickel over the past three weeks. I'd never ridden a skateboard before then.

[@papervws]

Have you done a review for the Karnage or RiDGE board? They both seem really similar to a penny at a lower price.

I'm pretty good at riding so I don't know which I should pick. I have size 9.5 and I don't know which one because I'm not a beginner but at least in the middle. Would a penny be hard for me?

[@ilovecodemonkeys]

Oh if you had put this up sooner xD I just got a Nickel a month or so back. I think it's pretty fun but the Penny is easier to maneuver.

Idk witch one to choose I want something portable but easy to learn witch one is the best?

[@Noor-nd4en]

I'm a beginner and I really want to buy a nickel or a penny board, but which one is better for me? I never skateboard or something haha. And another question: is penny boarding or nickel boarding hard to learn? Please answer my questions!

[@themusicalgirl16]

Hi. I'm getting a nickel board, and I heard that it would be better to reverse the screws/bolts under the trucks so that the trucks don't get scratched and worn out. Is it a good idea to do that, or leave the board as it is? Did you do that? I'd like to know. Thanks.

[@CottageandCompany]

Hmm...i've never heard that. In my opinion you're probably better off leaving it how it is. A skateboard is meant to be ridden.

[@themusicalgirl16]

Kualalumpar Videos Thank you.

[@socoolikeicetea]

I'm stuck on which board to get. I've only started skateboarding, so far it is easy. I like the portability of a penny but everyone says that the nickel is much easier to maneuver and learn for a beginners. The road outside my house aren't the smoothest roads and aren't too rough either, but that just might be the skateboard I have currently. Therefore, I don't want to get a skateboard which is really difficult to learn for a beginner. I just want a skateboard to cruise around town, go to friends houses etc, not to do tricks. I also want to take it aboard. Which board you think would suit me best?

[@CottageandCompany]

The Nickel sounds like a good choice for you :)

Okay so I'm looking to get a penny board for this summer because I like long boarding down the canyon a lot. What would you prefer to get for penny boarding down a canyon? Penny or nickel?

[@CottageandCompany]

TrillestBoii Truthfully, neither. If your looking to do downhill stuff, a downhill longboard will better suit your needs. Penny boards are not made for bombing hills. :)

[@Aheart4sims]

Haii, I'm about a size 6-6.5 in the US and I would like a penny board but I'm not sure if my feet will be too big for the board and it might be hard to ride. The nickel on the other hand has a big deck so it might be hard for me to turn.. Any idea which one would be best for me?

[@CottageandCompany]

I think the Penny would be a good choice for you :)

[@RowanXMusic]

Hi! I'm having a really hard time choosing a board and i'm hoping you might help me out :). I don't have any serious skateboarding experience but I'm determined to start learning, Practically every expert on the internet says the Nickel is better for beginners (just like you, very helpful video, thanks!), which is why I think I should go for the Nickel, but somehow I prefer the Penny. I want to use the board for fun, I'm not planning on riding very long distances with it or anything. I'm just really afraid I'll regret buying the Penny because I might find it hard to learn to ride it... Should I go for what is smart here or for what I want more? Thanks!

[@CottageandCompany]

Go for the Penny! Yes it my be SLIGHTLY more difficult to learn on, but when you do get the hang of it, you will be riding on the board that you like best. Plus once you learn on the Penny, you can ride anything. Thats my opinion :) Good luck!

[@RowanXMusic]

Thank you so much! I'm going to order one now, can't wait to start riding it. Love your channel btw, very helpful!

[@nalabubs]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get confident on the board? I got my nickel a few days ago and can't get the hang of it. I'm always hunched over for fear of falling and can't push off without holding onto something. I've never ridden a board before but I'm disappointed I can't get going.

[@CottageandCompany]

Ally B Its all about practice. It takes people a range of a few days to a few month to finally get comfortable riding a skateboard. It just depends who you are, and how much you practice. Stick with it. Its worth it. Good luck!

[@dwagin6315]

Practice on a flat space (a basketball court for example.) and just cruise. Then when you think you are ready try SMALL sloped mountains. My sister went done a large sloped mountain, hit a speed bump and BAM got scrapes everywhere. So practice makes perfect.

[@Heyy.its.C]

Everyone falls bro, it's part of it, if your just going to be scared don't right, I would say practice somewhere that there isn't card like a tennis court, racket ball court, basketball court, even a dead in a a neighborhood, put on some headphones, relax, and just have fun, just remember everyone falls, it happens

Im sure it helps with balance, but other than that they're really two different styles of board.

[@LogicalArtisticOne]

ah right, okay thankyou!!

[@noraelizabeth5976]

so i know how to ride a longboard, but do you think it would be easy to learn to ride a regular penny board?

[@htfsam1]

I started penny boarding and I learnt with my friends fake penny original and can do it fine I'm size 8uk 13 years old and 150cm tall. I also live in London so it's bumpy so don't know what one to get as I love carving which is easier on original really stuck on what one to get? Thanks

So helpful thanks!!👌👍

I have never stepped foot on a skateboard in my life. I feel like I am leaning towards the penny just because when I ride it to college and on campus as well, the penny would fit in my backpack, but the nickel won't. I don't know where I would put it if I had the nickel. It won't be TOO hard to learn for a beginner right?

ThatOneWeirdGal Check out my other comment, PRactice make perfect. You can definitely learn on the Penny :)

Will these hold a heavier rider? I'm not talking about any tricks just cruising?

[@taylah7637]

Yes, if they can get through getting run over with a 4000Ibs car, they can stand the weight of a human being :)

[@Richardjohnson6969]

Taylah ! What car is 400 pounds.. Please enlighten me

[@taylah7637]

???

[@XxStormHorsexX]

+Lucisus Palmer they said 4000lbs with three zeros. Try again.

I have been riding my skate board for 3 years now so I quests in getting penny board since I'm not a beginner

[@legoguy7863]

What board do you prefer a penny Or a nickel if I'm riding every day Too school and back

[@jefftheflyingshark6247]

Ok so my neighbor tried to teach me to skate on his skateboard like a couple years ago and I haven't stepped on a board since. I was never very good so I consider myself a beginner. I just want a board to cruise around and maybe ride to my friend's house and my streets aren't the best. I'm trying to figure out if the nickel or penny would be better for me. What would you recommend? Great video btw.

[@CottageandCompany]

I say Nickel, mostly because of your road conditions. The nickel, being larger, tends to take the rough surfaces better.

[@theanxoiushero800]

I know this video is old, but is the nickel harder for smaller people, specifically with smaller feet

[@Kyle-uu4mr]

Hey im looking to bring either a nickel or penny to college with me because my classes are a fair distance away from my dorm. I used to skateboard all the time and I'm just wondering the weight of a nickel? Is it similar to a skateboard or lighter? I might get a penny if the weight of a nickel is too much because I'd have to carry it everywhere. Thanks for your time!

[@joeyryan1775]

My friend has a longboard, and I rode around on that but I want to spend a bit less and have a better board for cruising and turning. I have no trouble learning but I was wondering if I should get a penny or nickel for cruising

[@CottageandCompany]

If you want something more similar to a traditional longboard, the Nickel is a better choice for you.
