The Penny "Nickel" Experience

So I spoke about the classic penny board in another, and now it's time for the famous Penny "Nickel." This board is larger than the classic, and - oh boy - does it make a difference. This board is made of the same materials as the classic, but is typically bought by individuals with bigger feet or new riders.

So I personally love this board, and well it's the only penny I can really fit on. My foot size is 13 so you can imagine what I mean. Before riding this board I had only rode a normal skateboard, and to be honest it really took about a day to get used to the ride of this bad boy. So to give you all a feel for this board, it is smaller than a normal skateboard but gives the feel of a longboard. I know that sounds weird, but trust me the trucks are really wide and loose so it feels like you are riding a full blown longboard. 

This board, by the nature of it, is a bit more expensive than the normal penny. If you customize it on the Penny website it is $120, but ain't nobody got money to pay full price. Click here to go to the amazon page for the Penny "Nickel." You may have your doubts about the authenticity of the Penny "Nickel" from Amazon, but I personally got it from there and I saved $30 in the process so why the hell not?!
