Penny Skateboards
    #18818207 - 09/09/13 09:00 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Going to school in So Flo and the first thing I noticed was the population of long/cruise boards.

We don't even have hills here yet everyone and their dog are riding them to class.

Well, my bicycle was recently stolen so I figured I'd hit up craigslist and see what I could find.
Picked up a sorta-new Penny "Nickel" board (which I have dubbed 'Nickelbag')and must say these things are fun as fuck.

However, most people around here seem to just ride them, I feel like I'm the only one trying to use them for the intended purpose of carving, power sliding, etc. The only things we have to bomb around here are parking garages (SKATING NOT EXPLOSIVES NSA!)but it's such a rush.

I spent $60 on a used board and felt like I made a better purchase than  what I'd normally do with that amount of cash :vaped:


These boards have been around forever but I've never seen or heard about them until now.

I get more of a high skating then smoking, at least for now..


WHO ELSE FEELS ME ON THIS?!?!?

I've wanted a Penny Nickle for a while, they seem fun as fuck.  I feel you on getting a high from skating.  If I'm ever sad or anything, I go on a nice skate and I'm all smiles :pipesmoke:

Skating on acid is also a fuckton of fun.

I have 9 hits left so I will deff do some research on that.

I'd recommend going online for a used one, because they're pretty overpriced. I mean, it's good quality and shit but its a piece of plastic lol.

Basically just paying for the name.

The nickels are good if you have big feet like me.

Go for it man!!

People generally aren't trying to eat shit on pavement before getting to their destination. I've almost had my board ran over on the way to class because I was doing this. If you don't have hills where you live then that's probably why you don't see anyone carving.

I've been fucking up a different part of my body every day since arriving here.

It's really hard for me to just ride, has to be some sort of action involved. I dunno man, different strokes.

Any recommendations for wheels or trucks? The stock ones aren't bad but I feel like I could use an upgrade eventually.

I recently bought a Stereo Vinyl Cruiser which is quite a bit like a penny board and yes, it is fun as hell.

Abec11 has good wheels for whatever you need them for but if you want good wheels they're probably going to be almost if not more than you paid for the board.

I have 4 boards already, but I really only use 1.  There's one I can't ride anymore, which was the size of a normal cruiser and I've been craving that since I pretty much only use my 23 inch tie dye cruiser.  Such a smooth ride.  I have another small board, 24 inch globe that's made out of recycled material, and a long board.  I might look into a Penny Nickle now.....

I have a couple hours between class where I can come home, study, eat, etc. Pretty much just spent that time riding around.

Straight up addicted to this little piece of plastic. Trying to get my power slides dialed in a little more.

It's gotta be upper 80's low 90's out here but it doesn't matter man, so much fun. Haven't showered in a couple days so hopefully clean clothes will do the trick:rasta:


How hard is it to apply grip tape? Been skating for like 10 years yet never put my own on lol

If you guys are talking about long boards, I don't think they're meant for tricks involving air. It's mostly a get from point A to point B type thing, pretty fun if you have a small hill.

You can kickflip on a longboard if you know what you're doing. Powersliding/ carving don't involve any air and Penny boards are made specifically for that.

Penny boards are too small for me. I feel like I am about to fall off if I move my foot a little bit.

Cruising is fun, but I'm much more into actual skateboarding. Nothing gives me more of a rush than trying to hit a 10 stair handrail and eating shit. I wear my scars and scabs with pride.

Here's me at 13, trying my first handrail. As you can see, it didn't go well. But that was the day I truly fell for the sport, literally.

That was pretty sick man, I've taken some pretty bad spills too, still working my way up to sets like that though.
My biggest accomplishment skateboarding was kickfliping a wide 3 set lol.
Super addicting.

Holy shit!! That's the kinda stuff I wanna do. He makes it look easy. Just having the courage to ride down those is impressive but he can deff carve like no one's business.

Does he not have any body hair for medical reasons or for sliding easier when he eats shit?

That really you? I could swear I've seen that on like America's Dumbest or Most Shocking or something..

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

I don't really like how the trucks are so narrow, I like wide trucks so I'm low to the ground. I don't think I'd like that setup very much at all.

A big thing I always recommend is geting new bearings they make a world of difference. Bones Reds are really great and not that expensive but if you wanna get serious I'd go with Bones Swiss for sure, those bearings are fucking rediculous and are great to have especially if there isn't much for hills and you do a lot of cruising. A couple kicks and you'll be rolling for ever.
