Hey whats up Skye, thanks, Ive been self teaching myself to edit for a few years now and it usually takes me a few weeks to make time to shoot all the footage and produce it. probably not smart in the long run but I prefer the look of these compared to my older simple unedited stuff. your dad is real cool I saw your vid teaching him to skate, he was smart to take it slow, it feels weird standing on a board with wheels the first time.
they wouldnt sponsor a longboarder that was doing handrails and kick flipping ten stairs hell, i could switch 180 ten stairs. could even keep up with pro skaters in a game of skate. on a 45 inch longboard. that andy anderson shit wasnt marketable many year ago. they wanted to see me doing slides down hills and carving.... i coulda been andy anderson, and more importantly, their TEAM could have had an andy anderson.
xXspectre170Xx I mentioned to Landyachtz I would like to do a comparison between the dingy and tugboat. If you look close at all the tugboats there's three different board dimensions , the 80s wide pool version. The original one is 9.25 in wide but the most recent one with the Pug on it is a little narrower at 9 in
I like how the tugboat is a little longer than the dinghy, but its still a good size to travel with. I'm thinking about getting the hatchet later down the line.
the reason that the dinghy has the cushioned grip is because people aren’t using them for flip tricks/ollie’s. The cushion makes it less responsive when you drag your foot. i’ve used a non abrasive grip dinghy and it’s hard to ollie.
Savten Thanks for that insight, since I can't Ollie yet it's good to know. My son also says the tiny lip at the front makes it harder to catch the board on the slide up for Ollie as well. Appreciate the comment.
Thanks so much. I try to shoot my videos and edit in a way it don't get or look too boring. It's a Panasonic lumix g7. There's actually links in the description for it and the lenses I used on Amazon. Yeah man try shooting a skate review if you get a camera it's cool to produce something.
Yo 5K you uplifted me with that comment bro. sometimes im skating around my neighborhood folks look at me like im from Mongolia lol. its hard to ride the longboard anymore its just not nimble enough. good looking out im working hard on producing quality content over high quantity.
Gas thank you and because of that if I had merch I would send you a case of gear to deck you out lol. I dedicate this video to you. Hey one thing I have to mention is some of the same boards at landyachtz come in two different size wheels some come with 60 mmm for like skatepark type tricks and others come with the larger 63 mm for cruising, I always recommend getting the 63 as they roll smoothly over bumps and stuff. Good lookin out
This video helped me a lot initially I wanted to get the Dinghy but then decided to go for the Nickel because it was on sale! Have an amazing 2020 Sir!
This really is the best board review I’ve found on RU-vid so far. I was minutes away from purchasing the penny board until I watched this video. Keep up the great work!
Yo man thanks so much. I don't know how I missed your comments for 3 months but let me know how you're doing with the board that you got, and if you're bad I challenge you to shoot a review also LOL
@@samuelz2214 haha thanks man. It's because my channel is so small it's easy to keep up with comments. I'm sure Justin Bieber gave up trying to reply 20 years ago lol. Respect. Oh by the way I'm currently shooting a tutorial for how to skate for adults, that should be out it a few weeks
I have a nickel board for fun cruises with longboard friends and other nickel board riders but the normal Penny is something I need to get! Perfect aspect of the normal penny is the portability and it's still a fun ride. Might have to try a Dinghy one day but the Penny brand has my heart!
This was very helpful. I got into skating with a nickel board and have been on a search for similar cruiser boards. Before watching this video I actually had my eye on a landyachtz dingy, so this video could not have been more useful/auspicious! Thank you much ✊
Hey thanks so much I love hearing comments from my viewers. The crazy thing is my channel is a photography channel but this is the most popular video I have it just hit over 100,000 views which is ridiculous lol. I don't know if you saw but I did a follow-up review with the Dinghy versus the tugboat and I still choose to ride the dinghy 90% of the time. When you get comfortable with the board I dare you to shoot your own video review, no pressure LOL
Man, this video was so well done, the pacing, the camera work and editing are all on point. Hadn't used my Dinghy in a while but got it out yesterday after seeing this. It's such a fun and chill board. Comfortable like a longboard, but can turn on a dime. Great stuff man.
My man thanks so mucj for stopping by and commenting. Im so tempted to start a skate channel necause this and my tugboat review are so popular but i sont habe enough gear to review and the dinghy just won't die lol. Hey man feel free to try ahooting a video of your experience also.
Was looking up a new board to skate and found your Channel which has nothing to do with skating but everything else I love! Can't wait to watch all your old videos. Much love! (Do more skate videos!)
Thanks for stopping by my man thanks for the compliment and I love skating but yes I don't have enough skate gear to really do a proper skate channel. The crazy thing is my channel is about photography but this skate video is my most popular. if you're into anything about photography and video though I have plenty stuff on the channel that you could benefit from also. Respect
Juh Dah Lol yo my wife roasted me bout that so hard lol. This are my work clothes and most days I shoot reviews I have to do it throughout work days. Preciate the comment.
You should keep some skate shoes in the boot (trunk in America I think) of your car so you can just stick em on and go skate after work. This was a cool video though thanks for the review. I was thinking of getting one but the trucks are so narrow compared to the 149mm I usually use!
I always knew you were cool, but this proves it. I used to skate like ... 25 years ago. Not sure I’d be game to jump on a deck now 😂. Great review and videography.
Lol thanks so much. I'm 47 years old and honestly while I love to skate I would hate to take one fall right now. I think grown folks like us it's best to just cruise on longboards with pillows strapped to our butts LOL
Hello thanks so much around me that means a lot. You know what is funny is my channel is about photography and video but this is the most popular thing on here it's a hit over a hundred thousand views which is rediculous to me considering not your typical skater dude. Definitely check out my tugboat versus dinghy review if you like this one also. Good looking out
Great review! This is encouraging me to get back into riding again a little more than I have. Why give up on something you love just because not 14 anymore. Keep on skatin’!
Wait, I just realized you are the one who made the video that teaches adults to skateboard half way through the video. I started skateboarding several months ago after watching your video, and I protected my head from a fatal injury by listening to your advice to wear a helmet. Now I’m much better at cruising and checking out smaller cruisers for portability well and alive, thanks to your advice!
Hey thnx to your review it actually helped me on my decision wheather or not to buy a landyacht or penny board and I chose the landyacht so thank you again and hope you have an amazing 2020
Michael Rickicki my man if you've mastered riding a penny in New York if you get hold of a dinghy the police are going to be giving you speeding tickets but only if they can catch you because it's more solid and responsive and you can actually stand with two feet on it. One of the 2018 models have smaller 60 mm Wheels I recommend getting the old school versions with 63 mm it will be better on the rough asphalt. Thanks for checking it out and tell Casey I said what's up
Man, you're doing good. I'm 59 I like long boarding now. I like cruising all over the place on my longboard . Teaching my twelve year old daughter. Cant get it out of me even though my knees hurt. 🤟😎
Hey oozy big respect I appreciate that. I'm not your typical skater so I'm amazed how popular this vid has become. Feel free to check out my follow up review of the tugboat on my channel. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@Raychristofer i will for sure! I was so happy to hear that you do camera reviews, my other passion. Srsly looking forward to watching all your videos
@@uz_7150 you know what it wouldn't hurt for you to try to shoot a video and edit it. It's lots of fun and I don't if I mentioned it but after Landyachtz saw this video they gave me the choice to choose anything from there 2018 catalog 2 review that's when they sent me to talk boat that I asked for. Really cool. Sometimes a decent video can open doors to other things you never expected
Hello thanks so much, it took me a few weeks to put this video together. what is interesting is my channel is about photography but this skate review is the most popular video here, I was shocked when it went over 100,000. Definitely check out my tugboat verse dinghy review also. Thanks again
I fully agree, I have for skateboards and the dinghy is the one I keep coming back two. I'm so comfortable on it I think I'm going to challenge you to a race. No pressure LOL
Great review! Thanks for posting it. The Dinghy is an awesome cruiser board, no doubt. But one thing I really like about the Penny Nickel board is that it closely resembles the boards that people rode in socal back in the 70s when pool skating was born. It's a cool feeling to ride something that pays homage to that kind of old school skateboarding. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Keto Gustavo how are you? Thanks much for stopping by and leaving that comment. I agree with you and that's why most skaters have several boards for different occasions. I was going to challenge you to shoot a short video of you skating what most people don't respond when I give them that homework lol
@@Raychristofer thanks for the suggestion! I will ask my wife to shoot the video for me when I get back home (I'm a business-jet pilot and am currently on a trip). I should also to get a stand for my phone so I can film myself skating.
Nice video Ray! I liked the skating parts set to music... it's a welcome change of pace to extreme skating videos. I haven't been on a skatboard since I was a kid... so your video taught me some stuff.
Thanks AKB, I just got back into skating after decades of not doing it but back then the boards I had were cheap so I had a bad experience. starting over with the modern gear makes it better. I still dont know if Ill ever learn to ollie lol.
I have the 2015 Cats and Knives Dinghy. Got into longboards coolin with the soccer team at UNC. A lot of people ride 40 inch sector 9 type boards around chapel hill. But when I went to Zumies, it was no question I was leaving with a dinghy. I think it the best mix between a classic skateboard and a longboard. My homeboy can Ollie my board atleast 2 feet. And Ollie onto any curb.
Hey Daisaun whats up, thanks man, yeah i ride this everyday even to get my phone when i forget it in the car. ollying is something I never learned which is a shame lol. im tempted to try the larger tugboat also.
It's never too late. I'm still working on my Ollies everyday haha. If you get the tugboat and do a review and ill def watch. Been wondering myself how they ride compared to the dinghy. Much live tho my dinghy brotha!
Austin Jones thanks Austin, I appreciate you taking the time to watching comment. Yes my younger daughter loves the nickel also we ride together a lot.
Hey thanks zero I appreciate it. What's crazy is I run a photography channel but this is the most popular video and blows everything else out the water, I should have started a bloody skate channel in the first place lol
drifting dust what's up DD? Thanks bro, I've been riding this board for a year now and the bearings are spinning faster than when I first got it LOL. I have no excuse to buy a new one because this one ain't going to die no time soon. By the way I finally was able to review the tugboat the larger version of this, check it out in my video feed let me know what you think
Had my Dinghy for almost a week now and it blows both my $20 Ebay penny and $50 Target Kryptonics board out of the water. It cruises so fast and stable on my shitty road and sidewalk pavement and has above average carving. Size is almost perfect too. Glad I considered this over a longboard. If I had to buy a cruiser again, it’d be this one 💯. No regrets whatsoever 😉
Hello my man, you and I are on the exact same page because after buying the dinghy I bought the larger tugboat I did a review of it on the channel as well but I always tend to leave that Tugboat at home it's almost collecting dust the cool thing is 2 years later I'm still on the same bearings. Yes you would not expect such a small board to be so perfect for an adult and I rarely use the penny board as much either. Thanks for stopping by and commenting
MAANNN how did you know I am changing from Penny (same colors) to Dinghy. You just read my mind and answered all the questions. Brilliant. Gotta love your reviews.. I hope I will have more excuses soon to watch them. ;)
great video. trying to get my daughters to replace their penny boards with the Dinghy and this video will be perfect to demonstrate why they should switch as they become more regular riders. Thanks!!
Hello Daniel how are you? Thanks man. Hey definitely shoot a short clip of you riding that board and maybe talk about your experience with it. Just don't make it so good it gets better than mine and knocks mine off the Google ranking lol
Hey Scarlett thank you. You can't go wrong. By the way can you shoot a little test clip of you shredding to upload here? whenever I ask my viewers to shoot a video they say no no no no no LOL
That's awesome thanks for checking it out and taking the time to comment. You probably noticed I did a review of the tugboat versus the dinghy also feel free to check that out and let me know what you finally get
@@Raychristofer Hi! I ended up watching your Dinghy vs. Tugboat video and bought a Tugboat shortly after. I love it so far. Thanks for helping me make the decision with your well-made videos!
Greetings from Europe - just bought the newest Dinghy with the wider nose to compare it with my favourite Board, the Sector 9 Roshambo, which is really awesome and to which I came after checking out a bunch of boards over the last years. I like to go for long distances and explore unknown places, sometimes using the board together with public transport, which is a big advantage of boards due to their lightness. Generally, I think, there is a high percentage of personal preference when it comes down to the question what is a good board, although there are obvious differences in quality. What I mean is, for example, some like more flat boards, others more concave, or wider or smaller decks, or longer or shorter. The same it is with the trucks. I tried a dozen over the years, and for me ultimatively the best are Independents, but I never would say them to be the best for everyone. Therefore, I put Independents on the Roshambo and on the new Dinghy (model Gin Tonic), and on both I use the same wheels, too, so the comparison can sure be done focused on the decks and their differences. I love this, and it's such a great pleasure. I ride a lot, all seasons, even in winter and in rain.
Hello my man thanks for stopping by and leaving that killer comment. You're right about the differences inboards it's almost like purses are shoes for women you have to have different types for different occasions. bro if you're riding in the winter you are super hardcore you should shoot a video review of that LOL. Which part of Europe are you
@@Raychristofer Hello Ray, it is very nice that you write back that immidiately - my name is Fred and I'm from the western mountain region of Austria (Tyrol), had my childhood there, but now I'm living in Vienna for some years and reasons together with my girlfriend, who is also from the west, but we will both return. In the meantime, there are of course a lot of aspects one can enjoy in a big city, for example, as I wrote, the exploring of urban areas with the board. As far as I know Florida is a sunny region, but we here have very different seasons, and for me liking skating / cruising so much, I don't want being interrupted by fall or winter :-))) Seven years ago, I passed a boardshop, seeing some decks behind the windows and just for fun and interest entered the lot; the staff astonishingly offered me to take a board of my choice for a trip around the hood, which I happily agreed to, asking, if they are not afraid of never seeing me and the board again. Indeed, I returned and bought it - a Loaded Dervish Sama - and tought myself over the next weeks. Being some kind of used to and with more sensible feelings, I came to what I wrote, searching and finding deckshapes just for me. I got increasingly smaller, lighter, shorter with the boards, which offers more flexibility in a city - not only cause of narrow turns, but also for pedestrian-slalom and carrying and storing in public transports. Vienna is a beautiful city with a lot of different areas; we have a big river, the Danube, and within is an island where you can cruise in total nature. Bridges and other cool stuff similar to what you showed we have many, and I like riding those. There are a bulk of big, long bridges with a hanged down slope for pedestrians and bicyclists under the tracks for cars, and you access this platforms by a corcscrewer-like ascent, looking down at the big river while crossing it. Sometimes, I make 20-30 km trips. Hardly to find something more beautiful except women and good friends. How is the situation for you in Florida? Can you just put down your board outside your house and start cruising? I Best regards and greetings from Vienna - hope to read from you! Fred
@@civesromanus5630 hello Vienna sounds really nice my wife has wanted to go there for a long long time. I also love hiking and exploring the mountains in California so your country may have similar conditions. Yes where I live there are many smooth roads and sidewalks to skate but no hills unfortunately.I think Adolf Hitler had some property up in the mountains of your country also overlooking the valley. Beautiful place
@@Raychristofer Hi Ray, California I guess commonly is known as a hot region with deserts and beaches, but I remember, in school we learnt there to be very high mountains, too - so, yes, if you hike or climb there, this should be similar to Austria. Maybe one different thing is, that in my country the mountains are settled and farmed over thousands of years and there is a rich culture with this. My family's roots are such, also; our ancestors owned a mountain-farmhouse (this should be the translation for our word "Bergbauernhof"), but it burnt many years ago. Your wife did not make the worst decision with planning to visit Vienna, I don't think there is any possibility to do wrong for Vienna (and Austria) has a lot of everything for everyone: Mountains, lakes, forests, an old culture and history, theatres, tradition in worldwide known music, sports of any kind... and yes, this man Adolf owned such a location, I think, you mean the spot Obersalzberg, which is in Bavaria / Germany. By the way, you owning a Penny: I tried one of them, too, but didn't like it too much even and changed to the really amazing (!!) Bananaboard. The latter one is better in every aspect, even the grip (with raised circles) and the whole shape of the deck. For me, the deck of the Penny was convex, so I always slipped forwards - as the grip is bad - but the Banana is concave and you do not slip forward. I had some talks with friends about this and made a deeper comparison - if you are interested, I'll post it to you. If you want to provide a plastic deck for your daughter I recommend the Banana and selling the Penny as I did. The Banana is still in my quiver; it is good for winter (deck gets no moist-problems) and if you want it more for transport in the city (it is smaller as my Roshambo and 2019-Dinghy). Greetings from Austria! Have a nice day!
@@civesromanus5630 something tells me if you ran an Austrian skating vlog it would be very interesting. Or even if you did a video review of your boards you are very knowledgeable. Do you have an Instagram?
Whats up big Max, I didnt know you were a subscriber. Your taste in channels is only exceeded by your photography skillz. yeah I try to be diversified, the older we got the more we gotta go for it. peace.
This video just popped up on my page. Really great content and editing!! I have both boards and can definitely confirm what you've been saying! Have fun cruising around!!
Hello James thanks so much. Yeah man trust me if I had more skate gear I would start a skate channel because my photography videos aren't doing squat LOL if you haven't already check out my how to skate for adults video I produce a few months ago
@@Raychristofer you're so kind to reply. I'll check that out for sure, I'm 38 and haven't skated before so gosh knows I need it. Looking forward to learning with my kids!
@@ronnienes Payless just take it easy and don't try to learn everything in two days. Just ride a little everyday like an hour at a time and your body will naturally build up the reflexes like riding a bicycle. Definitely watch out for those pebbles and cracks in the sidewalk they can make you fall bad. 38 is a good age, the moms in the neighborhood are gonna tell your kids your dad is so cool. be careful lol
Hey thanks IVC, I'm surprised with the positive response and views this video got. I have a feeling you will be pleasantly surprised how harder you can push this board because of the confidence it gives. Appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Congrats on such an enjoyable review bro... I ended having both Dinghy and Penny Nickel. Dinghy is the "superior" one for faster rides while Penny is the "no worries" option for easy rides. Because it's plastic (and costs less than half of the Dinghy here) I don't have to worry about water, grip tape irritation, and leaving it in my car 24/7... but it still feels quality under the feet. Collect 'em all?
Hello Aj and you have captured the spirit of skating especially the part about collecting all because most commenters expect one board to do it all. Thanks for checking this out. Feel free to see my tugboat review also.
If youd like to check out my review of the 2018 Landyachtz tugboat, the larger version of the dinghy you can check it here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NIwBGZ-UAMo.html
I was thinking Nickel board? Surely that's a Penny board haha. Shame they don't cost a nickel or a penny. I wish I could skateboard. I can rollerblade/rollerskate so I do have the balance, but I don't know about a board. I sure would love to have one of those boosted boards for getting around. Awesome video bro.
OC, How you doing? thanks for checking it out and yes if you can rollerblade you already have the reflexes to skateboard, but ride whatever youre driven ride. I was in Paris once and was shocked to see thousands of rollerbladers clogging the streets one evening, a local told me "we do this every Friday" lol, cool city. the thing that scares me about the boosted board is if at top speed the wheel hits something too big to roll over lol. glad you liked the review I know its different from what I usually upload but its good to mix it up. later
Sam H what's up Sam I am? One thing I learned about that board is it's a lot of fun because it's so maneuverable. Most longboards use reverse Kingpin but I like the way the traditional Kingpin feels and carves better. I keep that board in my car trunk. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. This is one review that I did not expect to get so many views and comments. Peace
Hello Luiz believe me that I really appreciate you taking the time to stop and type your comment. We're so busy in our life that we neglect to do that sometimes and it makes the hours of shooting and editing this worth it. If you like this video definitely check out my Landyachtz Tugboat review so slightly larger version but I've come to find that that doesn't necessarily mean it's better than the dinghy. If you get a chance to check it out let me know what you think and yes I tried to shoot my videos as if I'm watching it because too many skate reviews consists of a dude sitting at a table talking for 15 minutes and not riding LOL
Hey, great video! Could you maybe say anything about the weights of the boards? I have a Penny that I use for commuting and what I love about it is that it is so light to carry around. I'm considering upgrading to a Dinghy though.
Hello thanks. Yes the weight is something I never thought of. They're so close I don't think that would affect the choice of which one to carry. You can try the links in the description which should have detailed weight specs.
@@Raychristofer Landyachtz actually doesn't specify the weight on their site, that's where my question came from. Great to hear you don't feel a difference! Thank you for your fast response !
Good comparison and info. Thank you, Ray. My 1 question for you is, however, what do you consider "heavier riders"? The weight limit for the Penny is 220 lbs. Do you think that the increased flex in the board and increased "Gs" going into turns lower your center of gravity, and help with traction and handling? Just curious. Thank you again, Ray.
Dinghy is one of my favorites. Sector 9 fractal sidewinder is toe to toe. Depending what you feel like carrying with you... Great review and very well articulated on the boards strong points....
Amazing job with the review! Camera quality and editing was absolutely flawless and it was an absolute joy to watch. Do you know the differences between the tugboat and the dinghy? I feel like the dinghy might be a little small for how tall I am (6 ft).
nasaman23 thank you nas I really appreciate it, I'm a big guy too I'm about 250 and six foot tall also and me and you are in the same boat, I've been talking to Landyachtz seeing if I could get them to send me one to review but they dont do that. If you think the dinghy may be too small the tug makes more sense. Strange thing about the tugboat is there's like three different boards that they use for it, it's 30 inches long some boards on 9 inch wide While others are 9.25 wide. the Bigfoot model is the original shape and size that I like and that's the one I may get. The way the trucks are tuned out the box is pretty perfect in my opinion I didn't feel the need to change bushings I only tightened up the back trucks because I was getting some wheel bite and I put some very thin risers on it. I appreciate you taking the time to comment because believe me it took probably over a week to shoot an edit that thing LOL
Thanks for checking in my man. I'm always surprised how popular this video is. I actually did a review of the tugboat you may have noticed as well Landyachtz like this particular review enough to allow me to choose anything from the catalog. Something about the dinging is just perfect to me. Now that you're on the grid I challenge you to do your own review of the dinghy, no pressure lol
I love how you didn't trash on the penny board, its a good reliable board just for different things, it suits different people, im planning on buying both!!
I absolutely LOVE the dinghy. I have a longboard, popsicle and a dinghy and I'd pick the dinghy out of all 3 if I could only choose one. Hell, I barely ride the longboard or the popsicle board anymore because I have way too much fun on the dinghy. If you turn your body correctly while turning you can go down INSANE hills because you can basically do quick 90deg carves without thinking about it. Gonna pick up a penny 27" board here soon because I'm in the PNW and it's getting to be rainy season. Gonna use a buddy's lathe to put some grooves in some fatty hawgs(to help prevent hydroplaning), throw in ceramic bearings, probably some grip tape, and use it to skate when it's wet.
Great video! In my opinion Penny boards aren't proper longboards/skateboards haha They don't have griptape and hardly any concave (I prefer lots of concave for locking my feet in) Landyachtz make super high quality boards- dinghys are one of the best all-round cruisers on the market!
Would be awesome if you do end up getting the Landyachtz Tugboat! I heard that it's a great board that often gets compared to the Dinghy. Would love to see a review of that or a comparison to the Dinghy! Since a lot of people have to make that choice. Great video otherwise! 10/10 :)
Hello Josephine you know I actually asked LY about sending me one to review they said they dont do that but thanks lol. Tugboats are harder to find also, theres like 8 dinghy model decks and only 2 tugboats. wait a minute, your name is Josephine? thats cool, very few ladies comment and check out skate reviews. im impressed. respect
Great vid, just what I was looking for. Am in a similar situation and it was great to get your opinion. Am also into photography so will check out your other videos!
In india both are hard to find...n relatively expensive...so I got my self a big Yamba from decathlon, similar to the nickel....after watching this video, I dont feel too bad abt my choice...I am 43, and a week old into any kind of skating...intended use is commuting....will be real good if you could compare the big Yamba with these two....thnx again for the crisp no nonsense content!
Hey man I appreciate that so much. I never get comments from India. We're both grown ups lol. You'll be alright but I suggest I my practicing on smoother surfaces . I'd really like to see your progression. Also you can just get a wood deck to transfer your trucks to when you need an upgrade. Don't give up
@@Raychristofer hey...I ordered some Evo 2 fury trucks, were available at the local decathlon french store...8inch axel size...they also have an 8" skateboard deck...but I really want a cruiser deck, unable to find in 8" width, 28" length...preferably with a larger wheelbase, 15inch would be ideal....no luck so far....
@@amit2897 hello you're right and the crazy thing is as many different decks as there are out there it's incredibly hard to find the one that you're particularly looking for. Probably a good idea if you can get a deck with wheelbase options which is different mounting bolts on the same deck. look at the company named original they usually make decks with different choices like that but I don't know if it's available in France
@@Raychristofer I really appreciate your advice! I've defiantly been leaning toward something from Landyachtz. I think the Dinghy looks like a good board for someone like me who isn't into tricks yet.
@@Raychristofer I'm working on using my body to steer and turn right now to get a nice smooth ride. So far so good. I most certainly have the time to practice at home, since that is where I have to be right now!
@@ahoward3503 awesome man you're welcome to shoot a short phone clip and send me I'd like to see how you're doing also of you're not scared lol, by the way I use more ankle tilt and let your body lean to react
That was a very fair comparison and review - thank you! I have a Penny Longboard which I am enjoying a lot, but would like to add a smaller board that has a better turning radius, which will facilitate traversing down the hills in my neighborhood. That said, I may have to go with a Dinghy or maybe a Tugboat. Thanks for the vid - liked and subscribed.
Hey Ray, wow congratulations :) 👌 what a wonderful review it’s just so nice to see someone so passionate about carving Skateboards. I got here via your nice comment on my YTchannel and now I’ve sub’d my man ✊ I will be checking out a lot of your camera videos and looking forward to watching your upcoming content. Keep up the great work Ray your editing music everything is first class 💥💥💥 you should be so proud of you achievements. Definitely love the Penny Board being an Australian and I love the Landyachtz from UK too ...my man get yourself one of these SmoothStar Carving Skateboards for you and your daughter ..obviously you are amazing rider and have been riding for years and years. They will ship to the states from SmoothStar Sydney AUSTRALIA it’s the ultimate carving board... The Penny Board Highline Carver I reviewed was very impressive ride indeed but for my height and weight I felt it was a little bit small and the waterborne front truck was doing all the heavy lifting as it’s amazing mechanism on the front ;) keep up the great work Ray awesome nice to meet you bro ✊ respect 👌 cheers Andrew Penman EBoards Reviews RU-vid⚔️
Hello my man thanks so much I'm sorry I missed your comment for 3 months. thanks for your support and your channel is excellent for skating reviews also you got me beat
What's up Stands Alone. I appreciate it. As time has passed I almost exclusively stick to the dinghy now. More and more I can feel my shoes slightly slipping on the plastic board. And the fact that I'm 240 pounds doesn't help the situation lol. Now, when I ride my long board It feels boring. Good looking out and thanks for the comment.
Hey thanks so much Tony that's really cool. The sad thing is I only have two skate videos on my channel I primarily focus on photography so I don't know if you would dig my other content.on the other hand definitely check out my follow-up video to this one reviewing the tugboat compared to the dinghy. Good looking out
@@Raychristofer I'm a photographer first and a just total noob on the skateboard, so your channel is a perfect match! @tonyjpix on insta if you wanna check out my work. Cheers, mate and keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to more of your vids!
Thanks man but honestly I dont have enough skate gear to review and it took me like 6 yrs to get to 5000 subs. I do it for the love of creating though. I might get more popular if Chris Chan gives me a shout out though, holler at him for me lol.
Raychristofer will do It would help if you could maybe shout out my channel or even just subscribing would mean a lot. I am a relatively new creator and I am trying to get to my first 100 subscribers. I understand if you can’t though. Thanks
Raychristofer thank you so much At first I was just going to make NBA videos, but now I think that I’m going to make vids about my skateboarding progression. Lil Floatie is just a stupid name my friends came up with by the way, and I’ll probably change it in 90 days when I can
With the nicked keep your feet on the screws until you pump helps with the flex I like the flex when you pump feels like your sinking into the ground with each kick personally I like that
Yo big Elliot thanks man, means alot, you can tell it took me a few days to put it together. I love photography and skating, not exactly cohesive content but you gotta throw up what you know and love. thanks for taking the time to comment. im curious what led you to find this video?
I mean, I too love photography and skating so you may have a niche market here haha, I just found the video searching for reviews of the landyachtz dinghy as I wasn't sure if i should get it but after seeing your video I think I will
Elliot after riding them both I kinda never ise the penny anymore neither my longboard. the only thing i miss with the longboard are the wheels are a bit larger making them go over pebbles better. what i really want to see is a proper review of the Tugboat but theres not alot out there. one thing I did do with my dinghy was add a 1/8 riser pad, I found because im a big guy in extreme leans the back truck would bite and this stops it perfectly. let me know how you like it. what do you ride now?
Raychristofer I was riding a globe cutler (fantastic board, I highly recommend it) until it broke after a few years of good use and was just looking for a new board. if you were thinking of getting a new board you may want to consider getting one with wheel cut outs to stop getting wheelbite, they're super handy and quite common in a lot of board designs. after I get paid and get the cruiser I'll let you know how I feel about it haha
You have a point elliot because I notice the taller the riser the lower i have to step to push off and sometimes I feel it in the tendons the next day.
Great video man, I am a big guy and I wanted to buy a Penny board, but after watching your video I am definitely getting a dinghy board. Thanks, greetings from Mexico!
What's up my brother and we love you in Mexico forget about what that clown says. Much respect and yes the stiff deck of the dinghy is necessary for a big guy. Feel free to check out my Tugboat review also you might get a kick out of it. Do they sell these in Mexico or do you have to order them international shipping?
Raychristofer we have to order them international. Btw I hope you can help me. I’m planing to get a landyachtz board, but I’m a little undecided between a dinghy, a turbo dinghy, the schooner or a tugboat. I used to skate but I never was too good at it so I stopped, few years latter I got an electric skateboard, so much fun to ride but eventually the battery died and now I’m planning to get a new cruiser, so for someone who hasn’t been in a real skateboard for years and needs to relearn how to push and was more used to the longboard feeling, what would you recommend me?
@@Juanjo191 honestly whether you get a dinghy or a longboard the reflexes you will have to learn are all the same. If I had to close my eyes and tell you to get one I would say the longboard but it won't be as fun I don't think as the dinghy when you get better. It's really best to order the one you are drawn to and just learn to ride it
Raychristofer thank you so much. I really appreciate your help and kindness, to be honest with you I really wanted the dinghy I just needed a little push lol. Hope I get it soon. Kind greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
@@Juanjo191 you're welcome boss and there's a dinghy called the handstand that has slightly wider trucks. If you get one shoot a vid showing your experience. I've always wanted to visit Oaxaca.
What's up Zach, that's awesome man yes I have several larger boards and the dinghy is what I ride ninety percent of the time. Don't be scared to shoot your own video review also.
I needed this video as I was so set on penny but then I bought something different at skate shop he recommend the 28 inch Rad roller cruiser board and this confirmed that I think I’m more confident that I bought thta it’s worth mentioning I’m a first time skater. Thank you so much! If there’s any personal recomentaions you can make I would be so greatful
Felt like you at the beginning of my penny journey, but I'm riding circles around my friends! 😄 But I also wanna get a Dingy/Tugboat soon. Thanks for the review.👌 Edit: I slapped some griptape on my Nickle. ^_^
Whaaat. that's what's up thanks for checking this out and commenting. I always like to talk to those who actually have experience with the product. I almost want to challenge you to shoot a video of your experience using the boards as well but most folks don't want to.
Again. Great video! It's so rare to see professionally looking video's and opinions by adults... Most reviewers are younger and less well-spoken... not to diss young reviewers... but it's something that comes with age. I like how you detail things out! Also, most 30+ people with children, like myself, are weighing a lot more than most kids reviewing long- and skateboards. It's nice to hear an opinion from an older skater with a recognisable life situation. Props! Now I want a Dinghy even more! :-p
Bart De Vuyst thanks for taking the time to check it out to Bart. I'm going to tell you a secret I've never told anyone before but I made this video because I wanted it to be one of the best skateboard reviews I could produce and to tell you the truth I wanted to see if I can become the oldest sponsored skateboarder LOL. I'm 45 I guess you could call this my demo tape. What do you ride by the way?
At 37 I'm a beginner skateboarder. My oldest son started longboarding at age six and looking at the pure joy of riding convinced me to start too. I enjoy cruising and taking hour long rides... just the pleasure of the countryside. I've only been riding for about a year and a half and prefer longer boards because of the increased stability but I'm looking for a shorter board with a shorter turn radius. I have a low cost 40" pintail by Globe with some upgrades that I like lot. Next are three Landyachtz boards that I got in a sale (I like the company). A drop-through NineTwoFive that sits nice and low. A 40" bamboo Hatchet, and a 37" Maple Ripper that I don't like because it turns like a boat. I don't know what it is with that last board, maybe it's the Bear 852 trucks on it or something. I tried better bushings for my weight but it still turns very weirdly. The Ripper sits very high with the stock 70mm wheels. I might try smaller wheels. Thanks for your time! And keep up the skateboard video's! I enjoy them a lot.
Penny flex adds suspension, good to go and griptape adds issues: pain to clean, rips fingers and scratches clothes/packs/WATCHES/bystanders nevermind tape maintenance or waterlogging - landyachtz doesn't know what it is trying to be a popsicle board with a CRAZY price. Children are stealth geniuses trust them over ego = fun first, no hassles ; j
if you put another pair of spacers you can put bigger wheeles on the tugboat it will be a little higher off the ground by the way so you'le probrably need to get yoused to that
Very true, one thing I did not know when I shot this video was this black tugboat model is the only tugboat version with the smaller wheels, they particularly made it for skate parks and bowls, all the other tugboats do have standard 63mm. The spacers yes that's something I forgot to mention in the vid. But if you have to buy larger wheels it puts everything in a larger tax bracket too
