Check out our shop staff member Spencer Morgan Knuttila cruising around on his Penny Nickel! These things are too much fun! Pick one up today! www.daddiesboardshop.com/searc... Music - Rose Parade: Elliott Smith
Dayummm, I can't wait for my Nickel to arrive at the shop! I still gotta wait for two weeks, so Idk why I'm torturing myself with videos like this. I wear size 9's and I'm 5"7, but I reckon I'll prefer the Nickel over my classic Penny since its size is almost the same as a regular skateboard.
You could go either way man... it is all about what is comfortable for you. I like the 27 inch nickel cause I like to do tricks on mine and it is easier for me than on the 22 inch penny. However, if you just want a light weight board that is fun to cruise on the penny would be fine. I like to 360 flip mine and skate quarter pipes and stuff with it.
Most likely man, It will take 12 or more days depending on the method of shipping, I got something sent from the states via express and it took 12 days.
@wishuponstaries no not at all, 27 inches Is a decent size board in most cases and in addition you get the benefits that come with a penny (water resistant, flexible and malleable as well as a very smooth ride)
i am just wondering, i have about size 7 feet so would you recommend the penny or nickel? i am experienced in skateboarding so no worries about beginner issues.
The direction of your board thing, think of a ship, would you prefer your steering mechanism to be at the back or the front of the ship? front meaning the full back of the ship is trailing behind, back meaning you have full control of the ship in front of you
cool story, I think we all personally see pushing mongo on the same level as skating without a helmet... Honestly though... to each their own. We find it interesting that it is accepted and encouraged in the world of downhill/freeride/longboarding but that doesn't mean it is wrong. I think all of us are older 20+ and so we grew up on street decks and in that whole community, where pushing mongo is highly highly discouraged.
Im size 8 uk shoes and wanted my first penny board. I want it relatively easy to ride and i want it to look great. I was more towards the nickel but i was wondering if it is relatively heavy and portable Thx!!;)
Soo.. Just wonderin if i got a problem? Part of my bushings (the coneish shaped one on both trucks) pops out from under the washers? is it bad or just normal? PLZ CAN SOME KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT PENNY OR SKATING HELP!! thx all
@Will Davidson this is because you have an original one like on the first advertisment with the yellow and blue boards. Does yours have kind of see through red or blue wheels? These original ones are the best and now penny have ruined them by changing the wheels and quality of the deck. Nickels are new ones that have the same bad characteristics and are the only ones that have been exported. I had an original until it got stolen but im not going to by a new Penny.
Mostly when it comes to tricks, mongo cana ctually be a burden. On cruisers it doesn't matter that much even though I must say it kinda distorts your balance, at least in my experience, because you kinda lean back with every push you make.
Willie Flores I have the nickel.. and so far so good. They are really good on roads. They don't make much noise like normal skateboards. And they are much much smoother on sidewalks+
Totally. You can't control the direction of your board you push mongo, at least nearly not as well as you can when you push normally. I am actually very surprised that there are people out there who encourage pushing mongo lol. I mean, up until the rise of downhill and such it has been the biggest no-no is the skateboarding world lol. I bet scooterers even think it is whacky... and thats saying something :P
+Brianna C I'm the same. realised it was a mistake to get the smaller size. I wanted the smaller one so I could ride it to school and have it in my bag during lessons but it wouldn't fit and now I'm left with a board that isn't as stable as I'd like (I live in an area with no smooth paths) and that I cant take anywhere but abroad as it fits in a small suitcase. I've only take it with me to Spain and used it a few times. I'm torn between the nickel or an ordinary Street skating setup

i disagree, pushing mongo means your weight is more on the back, rather than on the front, and i can say with confidence that I'd rather fall back than forwards. But that never seems to happen pushing mongo with me, but it has happened pushing regular.
