Waiting for my penny board to arrive! Very happy to know that my slip on vans are "the best". Haha. While I was riding my daughters knock-off penny deciding if I was gonna try to skate, I bailed and the front of the board scuffed my ankle a bit. So it also might be worth mentioning that high tops have an extra value for that type of protection. Just make sure you double knot 😉

I cruise in minimalist shoes, and it feels great compared to narrow toe box shoes. More balance and control. I'll list the brands I wear below. Splay shoes, Vibram five fingers (the megagrip rubber is very durable) , and wildling shoes.

How about sketchers-styled shoes?
@pennyboardtyler2 ай бұрын
So Skechers-styled shoes with bigger heels/cushioning are going to work, just know you will be slightly more unstable than if you were to ride a Sketchers-styled shoe that has a flatter heel. Generally speaking, the higher the heel/overall cushion of the shoes, the less grip and stability (therefore less overall control) you will be able to have on your board.

Have you ever cruised a penny board before the sun rises? Like around 5am when most people are still asleep? Just a suggestion, maybe you could try doing a chill cruising video/vlog on an early morning!

Good idea! I am more of a night owl so I have never tried this, but I bet I could try and find somewhere fun to go for it in the future

Has the penny board gained much flex?
@pennyboardtyler3 ай бұрын
I don’t how much the flex was better or worse before 2020, but it’s got a little flex. The nickel has a little more imo

Maybe flexer because he got heavier? How much do you weigh now?
