Penny Boards

Although I'm more of a longboard kind of person, I do appreciate skateboards. Now, the thing with skateboards is that the wheels are very hard and small most of the time. So unless your riding on smooth asphalt, your not going to go that fast. Now, there is this company based out of Australia that builds these indestructible plastic flexible skateboards. They are called"Penny" boards. They're supposed to be based on that old 1950-1960 look of skateboards back in the time when the skateboard was just being thought of. These boards come in two different sizes. The smaller size is about the size of your foot with just enough room to put your foot on the back of the board when your riding it. The bigger size board called a "Nickel" board, is about half a foot bigger or so with more than enough room for two feet. Well anyways, the Penny company makes all the hardware that comes with the board such as the trucks and wheels. The wheels-instead of hard plastic- are rubber so they ride on rougher road a lot better than a regular skateboard. People even put longboard wheels on these boards along with better bearings. Talk about a board that'll fly! When I start work in the spring I am definitely getting one.
