I have a nickel and it is a perfect size for a tall guy like me. Only downfall is you are screwed if you go over a crack slightly too big all your momentum goes away. But on smooth surfaces you can be very quick.
I'm gonna buy shark wheels to see if that helps with the rocky ride on some surfaces.

Yeah, it would make more sense to compare this board to like other longboards. If you want the small size, they already got that covered with the Penny original. I don't believe the plastic structure is equal enough to griptape. And what happens when it gets slightly wet? I mean, when commuting there's a chance of getting into some rain. Also, to me a longboard is less functional when it doesn't have more of a tail, so I can at least get onto a curb.

I have a long board. The 2016 battle axe by landyachtz and i love it :) it's 40 inches long but i dont care really and btw i would lug a 44 long by 10 wide board around like it's nothing to me. I like the gold coast the agave long board. Beautiful bamboo longboard and i would lug that thing everywhere :)

I have a penny longboard and I really like it. It's amazing. If u want to do tricks or want to travel light then get a penny or nickel but the penny longboard is great for beginners and fun to cruise on. I bring it to the beach and went on vacation and cruised around streets.
PHeMoX
PHeMoX - 5 years ago
@joseph woo I also don't think these pin tails are very beginner friendly at all. A beginner would want a comfortable and functional tail. I also disagree penny boards are a viable choice for tricks by aaany stretch.
joseph woo

nah if you want to do tricks then don't get any kind of penny board

What I don't like about Penny's website fr the longboard, the specs don't indictate the dimensions beyond 36" long. What is the wheelbase ? What is the width of this board. Is the 7" truck the hanger width or axle width ? The reverse kingpins, are those 50 degree or 43 degree ? How do the trucks compare to industry leaders like Paris, Gullwing & others ? Most longboards come with 70mm wheels, and the Penny is indicated as using 63 mm. Their shorter boards are 59mm. You can't buy the trucks or wheels for the longboard as individual items, as upgrades on their website yet either. End of the day, the Penny LB is $ 149 + S&H. I put together a Sector 9 44" Peru 100% bamboo deck with the Paris V2 reverse kingpin 50 degree combo for $ 116 all delivered. Board pretty much is comparable to a Sector 9 complete with the Gullwing Charger reverse kingpin 50 degree trucks. I understand Penny caters to the complete skateboard market and listing specs might be confusing for someone that lacks the sophistication, but if you're comparing products, Penny eliminates themselves from a comparison of hardware by not providing the information. The Penny LB might be a better backup LB for the Sector 9 that I assembled ? But at $ 30+ more, I can build another Sector 9 and still have what expert reviews indicate are the best all around trucks on the market in the Paris V2's. Penny skateboards in that regard are overpriced.

Oh man.... That's certainly a bit concerning. I haven't had issues with my copy as you can see in the video, but maybe Penny has a bit of a quality control issue with these perhaps.

Austin Black - Comparing a longboard to a penny board and saying it's not as good because it can't do tricks is missing the point. It's like comparing a knife to a pair of scissors - they do the same basic thing, but they're designed for different purposes. In my opinion, a well-designed video would explain the different purposes for the 3 boards and then compare the penny long board features to other longboards.

For example, I started off with a penny nickel and love it. I then got a regular, wooden longboard and HATE it. Since then I've wondered if the flexible deck of the penny longboard is what would make me love a longboard. Also, the longboard I bought is 41 inches and too long in my opinion. How does the 36 inch penny longboard compare in that regard? These are all things I'd love to know that weren't answered in your video. Maybe you could do an update video in that kind of format

Austin Black fair play just thought that the length wouldn't make it that impractical to carry and take on transport such as buses. although it'd definitely be less practical than penny's other board. nice video btw your review style is very thorough.

If you were going on a long skate trip, travelling 100km+ in a day which penny board would you use?
Austin Black
Austin Black - 7 years ago
That's a good question. I would probably go with the longboard, but with anything like that, I would probably replace the bearings.

Austin Black
Austin Black - 7 years ago
I think that's the key. People aren't really looking to Penny for their longboards, so there would have to be some factor that gives them a bump in sales. But we can hope!
WizzyWuzzy
WizzyWuzzy - 7 years ago
Exactly my thought. Would be cool to see Penny put their longboards on the customizer. But I think we'll have to see how sales go before they take such a big risk

SecGen2G
SecGen2G - 7 years ago
Just bought mine, cant wait to try it today. I am not a longboard fan, just dont like the look of them. But with Penny its different, man i love plastic, way better than wood in my opinion.
Always were riding my 22 inch Penny, also for long distance like 17miles. But i think the longboard will be a safer way to ride and easier because of the size of the wheels and board.
SecGen2G
SecGen2G - 7 years ago
Yesterday i tried the Longboard (42KM(26miles)).
Its really great, its just doesnt care about the ground. It really eats every stone , hole or stick at the street.
Thats much safer and you dont habe to pay a lot of attention to the gorund as you have to do with a 22inch penny.
But the Penny is a little bit more fun to ride. But for long distance the longboard is better. Its great to have both. But the longboard still feels like a Penny. So its a great part of the penny family, also because its made out of plastic. So ill stay with my 22 inchboards and with the 36. Great to have both. Also for downhill the 36inch feels much safer :D.
But fot the City, 22 inch. And also to travel with.
Austin Black
Austin Black - 7 years ago
SecGen2G I totally feel you! I'm in the same boat with all these Penny products. The 22'' is still my fav, but the longboard would probably be more stable
