Why Do People Penny Board?

[@jonnydavey9439]

Penny boarding is individual, distinctive, and a laid-back, cool vibe. It gets right back to the roots of the sport. Everything about it is pure pleasure , from the sharpness of the turns to the smoothness of the ride, to the convenience of something you can throw in a backpack. Pennyboarding is a smile in skateboard form. Thanks for reminding us, Tyler. Excellent as ever!

[@pennyboardtyler]

Love then line - "pennyboarding is a smile in skateboard form"!!

[@Edwinbraun20]

The best explanation I’ve heard so far. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Pennyboard changes lives

[@pennyboardtyler]

Right on 🤙🏼

I would like to add a point here that I think is kinda important.. That is that "most" people who ride them don't really use them to do tricks in the streets/etc, and it's considered a very "chill" form of short range transportation, and due to the wheels they are usually quite quiet in comparison to other skateboards. It's kinda like the small Fiat on a road VS a suped up sports car. 😂 They aren't ment to go fast, and be flashy.. Just to get around on really. Kinda the skateboarding version of a moped (not saying that in a bad way), but from a performance perspective.

[@pennyboardtyler]

Neat perspective! It definitely is not meant for tricks and is less flashy for sure. Thanks for commenting!

I recently moved to the UK, just bought a penny 27'', slapped on some shark wheels and ceramic bearings and it's complete waterproof.

[@pennyboardtyler]

Dang that’s tight! Have a blast cruising 🤘🏼

[@lewis9752]

This channel is super underrated

[@jonnydavey9439]

Amen, to that!

[@pennyboardtyler]

Thanks for your support Lewis & Jonny 🤘🏼

[@jasonboatright8671]

I ride a 28"cruiser board...The thing i've noticed with smaller boards is , you have more advantage with tricks & maneuverability in tighter spots than you would using larger boards.. 🏄‍♂️

[@pennyboardtyler]

Very true, Jason! Thanks for sharing this 🤙🏼

I like penny boards for taking on my boat and visiting little towns on the water in the PNW. I am less worried about the wood warping, and it isn’t the end of the world if it goes flying off the dock when I am being drunk and foolish. Sometimes I leave the dinghy at home and take the penny 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@pennyboardtyler]

Yo WillC sounds like quite the life! Glad you enjoy penny boarding. What is the PNW? I’m not familiar with that acronym

[@badboybootz8]

#1 reason: They're fun

[@pennyboardtyler]

Heck yeah! 🤙🏼

[@andycoe23]

Very good job! I personally have 3 "rolling objects": a longboard, a cruiser and a mini cruiser, which is equivalent to a penny board. Yeah, it's all about the vibes and I can say: a mini is really addictive!

[@pennyboardtyler]

Love to hear! That’s an awesome lineup 🤙🏼

[@FlowJunkie65]

First off, where did you get that "A Chorus Line" shiny gold Penny board, Tyler?! 🙂 Penny boards have a really nice, smooth, oftentimes quieter ride than a lot of other skateboards, which I really appreciate, and thus they really do have their own unique vibe, I agree. And, they're just so much fun to ride and to own. Take most of them anywhere, anytime, and R I D E!

[@pennyboardtyler]

hahaha you caught that, Sean? Yeahhhh I'm full of surprises with my collection...Super fun to hear from you! Hope you've been able to find some great places to ride this summer so far

[@FlowJunkie65]

@@pennyboardtyler "The Strand" beach path in L.A. Sweeeeet skateboarding riding! Hope you're having a great summer, Tyler!

[@bricemenaugh4828]

Look... it's a feeling. That's what Tony Alva said. It's a the feeling of surfing and freedom. I have antihero decks, dogtown decks, heroin decks and I love them all, but those penny boards are super rad. I also skate a 1977 Alva deck a lot and I'm addicted

[@pennyboardtyler]

Super sweet to hear! Keep on cruising 🤙🏼

[@wilque6324]

i kinda just cruise but also speedskate down hills on mine, i love it to bits, it's got 8 years now recently got new bearings and wheels for it

[@pennyboardtyler]

Super sweet to hear! 🤙🏼

[@DeniseNepraunig]

Hi Tyler, do you have a specific backpack where the whole Penny boards fit and you can close the backpack, too? Mine is just too short. I was thinking about getting a backpack with a rolled top (rolltop) or maybe even a long hiking backpack. Outside of my normal skate backpack the small Penny is weird and the official Penny backpack is sold out…

[@pennyboardtyler]

Hi Denise, an alternative option to the Penny backpack is a something like a Simbow Backpack (amzn.to/3P2U5HQ). This is similar where a Penny board can clip on to the outside. Besides this, I often use my duffle bag straps to carry my board too if I don't have my backpack

[@tagir_f]

This will blow up

[@MrBaskins2010]

i used to ride a globe bantam before it got hit by a city bus

[@pennyboardtyler]

ooh that's tough

[@strictlypennyboarding]

I'm riding pennyboard coz it's cool and unusual to do tricks on it.

[@pennyboardtyler]

Rock on 🤘🏼

[@Kellyholmes721]

Cause you can shove em in your bag and bring it anywhere you go

[@pennyboardtyler]

fo sho 🤙🏼

[@Xavier1...]

I love my penny!

[@pennyboardtyler]

Love to hear!

[@fundrip4448]

People literally hate me for riding theses man why are so many skaters so hateful I don’t even go to skateparks anyways

[@pennyboardtyler]

It’s such a shame that people give out hate. Typically, people usually hate out of ignorance and/or insecurity so my best advice is to just do you and what you enjoy and do your best to ignore any potential hate given to you.

Kryptonics torpedo with Bones bearings has been my favorite for decades. I have a green one and a blue one. I put some Shark wheels on the green one and wooooooo I love it! I'm not riding to impress anyone but me. I love mine. I have an early 1970s Duraflex that's so mean and fast I won't ride it. And it bows down so low it almost scrapes the ground which is what it's supposed to do. Terrifying. Sometimes I trick other people into trying it but they only do it once. I got my first board in 1975 and it was this size. In the 80s and early 90s I messed with ...I think it was 10x30. I have a 10x32 now but it just feels way to big and I hit my ankles alot. I prefer my torpedo

[@pennyboardtyler]

That’s so great to hear, JB! You’ve been riding for awhile now, which is awesome! Do you notice a difference with your Shark wheels?

[@aleenaan9102]

Hello! im thinking of buying one, which would be better the 22 inch or 27?

[@pennyboardtyler]

All depends on what you want to do with it and your experience level - if you’re a beginner, I’d typically recommend the 27-inch as it has you’d have better stability, balance, and control (because it has a larger surface area). If you’re experienced and/or travel often, I’d recommend the 22-inch as it’s the most portable board

[@INDIANXxhgpp9907]

be careful while riding the 22 inch bcz it may give you less balance and severe foot pain.
