It could be you smth needs loosened on your board. The bolts that connect that trucks to the board will help you turn better. Could need some lubricant or maybe your trucks are rusted. Does the same problem occur on other peoples' boards or just yours? If it's just yours then try leaning with your body weight first and then tilting your feet to turn your board
New subscriber. I don't even have a Penny board (yet) but do ride various wood boards. I just like your content and style. Helpful, friendly, smart advice.
Thanks for your comment. Generally, 90-degree positioning is an issue of overall balance and stability, not necessarily turning. I would agree 27-inch boards are easier for beginner riders as they provide more surface area, stability, and control. I’m an adult and ride pretty well on 22-inch boards though. Typically I’ve found if you have previous board experience/good body awareness, it is very much possible to ride and feel solid on a 22inch Penny as an adult
Oooh yeah it is different to switch it up! It’s a fun challenge though, and adding both to your repertoire will also help you learn how to ride switch later on too!
Hey Tyler! Just started pennyboarding and for some reason it keeps turning to the right when I wanna go straight? I have no idea why. I want to fix this so I can actually board.
Whenever you’re cruising, carving, and turning, you want to ride feet parallel. If you’re pushing, you should have your front foot forward. The general notion is - you want to be comfortable adjusting your front foot so even if you push-push-push-push, you can come into your board and then effortlessly turn that front foot parallel
I was long boarding for the first time yesterday and I wasn’t entirely sure what I was doing. I learned pretty quick with the balance, but these tips are definitely going to help me improve great video👍
I do have a video on how to pump! In it, I mentioned you should be able to on most boards. Generally longboards and mid-sized cruiser and skate boards work the best.
Just got some new 70mm wheels for my penny board. The new wheels have slightly helped in keeping speed for slightly longer and rolling through debris easier, though i have just one problem. The wheels are supposed to be 78a but they feel more like 83 or 85a. I'm very curious but how soft are 78a wheels compared to 83a wheels??
You likely have shin splints, and this is likely caused when you are pushing on the ground. I would guess you are striking the ground with your heel first and then your toes after. First, try and push more with a flat foot or slightly more on your toes. Besides this, I’d recommend before you ride, to do this “easy” exercise of: standing tall then going up on your toes and pausing for a second. After, come down to ground with your foot, and then put your weight into your heels and raise your toes as high as you can. Pause for a second, and then repeat this movement (up on toes, up on heels) for 10-15 times.
But if I want to push again then do I have to make my foot 90 degrees again? Cause I often lose balance when I try to push again from the board if it is parallel positioned.
My problem is when I move my foot from front to aligned. Now suddenly I can't push to gain speed. It's like kicking with your other leg pointing at your center. It gets in the way and feels really weird.
Yup! You have to learn to move it back and forth. I mention getting familiar with adjusting your front foot briefly, but the basic premise is this: Front foot forward when pushing. When you’re done pushing, adjust front foot more parallel. Cruise. When you want to push again, the adjust your front foot back pointing forward. Push. Repeat
Hey, Tyler! What if i ride regular and i push myself with my left foot while the right is in the back? I have always wondered if i do the right thing or not.
Great question! Firstly, that’s called riding “mongo,” and it’s pretty common to find I feel. This said, it is generally looked down upon in the traditional skateboard community. I personally don’t find any issue with it if that’s what works and feels best for you. I’m an advocate of you doing you, regardless of what others may think or say. If you still feel balanced and in control when you push and ride, and you enjoy it in general, then keep doing it. At the end of the day, #1) You’re not harming anyone, #2) You have fun doing something you enjoy. That’s what matters more than anything anybody else may say
In the trick skateboard community, there's a bias against it that's grown up in recent decades (it didn't used to be an issue), but those guys often have some weird, negative gatekeeping. If you feel safe and comfortable and are having fun, just do it. It's still helpful to learn to push the "regular" way, too, so then you can alternate legs to keep from getting as tired without having to switch your stance back and forth between regular and goofy.
There isn’t a problem with looking like a beginner; like I said in the video, we all have been beginners at some point. This video was requested by my viewers who are beginner riders that want to feel and be more confident when riding
قبل أن تبدأ، عليك أن تدرك أننا جميعًا كنا مبتدئين في مرحلة ما. الخطوة الأولى لاكتساب الثقة كمبتدئ هي الركوب على سطح أملس. ابذل قصارى جهدك للعثور على شارع أو طريق أو مكان يسهل الركوب فيه. بعد ذلك، عند وضع قدميك على لوحتك، عليك تجنب وضع قدميك بشكل متعامد، والمعروف أيضًا بزاوية 90 درجة. سيؤدي وضع القدم هذا إلى شعورك بعدم التوازن عند الركوب، كما أنك أكثر عرضة للسقوط. لذلك عندما تتعلم، المفتاح هو ضبط قدمك الأمامية قليلًا لتصبح موازية لقدمك الخلفية (يجب أن تكون كلتا قدميك الآن في نفس الاتجاه تقريبًا). عندما تتعلم ضبط قدمك الأمامية بهذه الطريقة، ستشعر بمزيد من الاستقرار والتوازن، وستكون قادرًا على الالتفاف إلى اليسار واليمين بشكل أسهل أيضًا. بعد ذلك، عندما تتعلم الدفع على ساق واحدة، من السهل تجربة النشاط وهو التدرب على التوازن على ساق واحدة. سيسمح لك ذلك بالشعور براحة أكبر على لوحتك عندما تبدأ في الدفع بساق واحدة. مع مرور الوقت، سوف تكون قادرًا على الحصول على دفعات أقوى تسمح لك بالحصول على سرعة أكبر. أخيرًا، عندما تقف على لوحتك، حاول أن تقوم بثني ركبتيك بشكل ناعم وإبقاء جذعك مشدودًا. إن استخدام ذراعيك لتحقيق التوازن سيساعد أيضًا، وسيسمح لك القيام بهذه الأشياء الثلاثة بالتحكم بشكل أكبر بشكل عام. آمل أن يساعد هذا، ونتمنى لك حظا سعيدا في ركوب الخيل!

Glad you dig it! Regarding your question, it's a little hard to fully understand what's going on because I cannot physically see you or your board. This said, you shouldn't really be leaning back on your board when you ride as too much weight in the back can lead you to accidentally performing a manual / losing the nose of the board up and off the ground. When you turn, it's more of redistributing your weight on your toes to turn in or your heels to turn back. If this is the main issue, I'd recommend checking out a previous video on "How to Turn." Best of luck 🤙🏼
hey there - beginner here - literally just went out for my first cruise today, and i loved it! super underrated channel.
Same!
YOOOOO LET’S GOOOOOO!! 👏🏼👏🏼
@@pennyboardtyler Bro how are u so wholesome ❤️
@@SillyLittleAxolotl Lolz I just do me!
That trick where you switch your feet parallel is an actual life saver. My outward turns are so sharp and controlled now
Dope to hear 🤙🏼
Bro my scateboard is not turning why

Yo thanks for joining; I appreciate your support & am glad to hear you enjoy my content! Happy riding 👊🏼
90 degree angle positioning is fine for turning, but the problem is 22 inch boards are too small for adults. Should be riding 27 minimum
Thanks for your comment. Generally, 90-degree positioning is an issue of overall balance and stability, not necessarily turning.

i was so comfortable with mongol, now im training myself to be goofy. rotating the lead foot isnt easy because im used to facing the other way X_X
Oooh yeah it is different to switch it up! It’s a fun challenge though, and adding both to your repertoire will also help you learn how to ride switch later on too!
谢谢您的精心制作视频，看了以后有想买penny学习的冲动！
很高兴听到！我希望你用你的便士板玩得开心
Hi Tyler,
Super tips!
Could you give us more about "how to carve"????
Yo Fengming,
Thank you, and definitely! 🤙🏼
Hey Tyler! Just started pennyboarding and for some reason it keeps turning to the right when I wanna go straight? I have no idea why. I want to fix this so I can actually board.
I've made a video about turning in the past: ua-cam.com/video/xjdL1jhwGow/v-deo.html
Let me know if this helps!
Bro, you're helping me so much! Thanks.
Stoked to hear 🤙🏼
Hey Tyler! What if i have to push constantly to maintain my speed, do I still need to get my front foot parallel?
Whenever you’re cruising, carving, and turning, you want to ride feet parallel.
If you’re pushing, you should have your front foot forward.
The general notion is - you want to be comfortable adjusting your front foot so even if you push-push-push-push, you can come into your board and then effortlessly turn that front foot parallel

This are really good advices! Gonna try them
Glad to hear! Best of luck 🤙🏼
This is a really good video for learning to skate, thanks for sharing Big T!
Absolutely! Stoked to hear 🤘🏼
If you havnt, can you do a video on suggested boards to pump on?
I do have a video on how to pump! In it, I mentioned you should be able to on most boards. Generally longboards and mid-sized cruiser and skate boards work the best.
Hey thank you for the great vids and the inspiration to create my own channel. I love your vids
Absolutely! I'm stoked you decided to start your own channel! Best of luck and happy riding 🤘🏼
Hm. Your channel description says you're in US, but everything around you in this video looks so much like Toronto ON (damn I miss TO)
Yeah I’ve literally never been to Toronto!
i hate these things with a passion, just sold mine and switched to an ATV X from Landyachtz. I need that stability in my life!
No matter what, I hope you’re enjoying your new Landyachtz board!

I moved to London a while ago and I am so bored of walking to bus stops or stations. I want a board to make it fun and fast.
Well there you go! Would definitely make your commute more adventurous
Great VIDEO
Glad to hear you dig it 🤘🏼
Great video bro
Glad to hear 🤙🏼
Do you know why I keep experiencing shin aches when I skate, even with a 5-minute skating? Maybe the way I distributed my weight was wrong?
You likely have shin splints, and this is likely caused when you are pushing on the ground. I would guess you are striking the ground with your heel first and then your toes after. First, try and push more with a flat foot or slightly more on your toes.

But if I want to push again then do I have to make my foot 90 degrees again? Cause I often lose balance when I try to push again from the board if it is parallel positioned.
Yes, your foot should be straight when you push, and then you adjust it when you’re riding/cruising. Then you repeat

Let’s GO!!! Stoked to hear you’re getting after it!
But I like my front foot in front it’s comfortable
It’s “okay” if you like it, just know you will be limiting yourself with balance and stability (and also turning ability)
Awesome
Glad you dig it 🤙🏼
