Cheap Penny board carving and pumping
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- This one is a cheap non original Penny board that I put softer cone bushings in from Paris trucks and flipped the upper cup washers upside-down so that they don't restrict the upper bushing movement. This resulted in extra lean for the trucks. The idea was to make this board nimble for 8-year old kid but I also liked this setup and it didn't wheel bite at all.

I learned how to carve on a microdose….10/10 would recommend
Wow! Not a lot can carve on a penny. You made it look so easy bro! I've been trying my best to figure how to carve on a penny but its so hard. Please do a tutorial how to carve on penny/cruiser! then maybe I can also do that 1 foot carving hehe! more power to your channel!
Hi Enzo! 👋🏻 Thanks a lot for your appreciation! 😊 Indeed, making a video tutorial on carving is a good idea 💡😃 because I see many people don’t use this fundamental skill and I already have some methodology after teaching quite a lot of people. You know, I’m not a professional youtuber but I’ll try to film it properly 🎥 Thanks for this idea! Such feedback really motivates me to do not even smth useful but what’s being asked. I’ll try my best to publish it on the weekend 🤔👨🏻🎨
Did you have to losen your trucks to be able to carve on it ?
Hi@@gwendolyncheong8889
I actually gave up on a penny, i bought a proper cruiser which was much easier to carve.but i didnt stop there, i went and bought a Pantheon longboard. And it became my evryday board.but still
Penny is so tiny, it can fit in a backpack. Hve a great day!
dude you're soo good!!!!
this is amaaaazing!! i can carve but only real big curves Dx i've been trying to learn to carve tighter and pump, and you make it look so easy! i'll try imitating your body movements to see if i can get the hang of it 😁 amazing skill!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Let me give you few tips 😉. Think of pumping or tight carving as if you’re riding a swing - on a swing you shift your body weight to amplify the swing motion in the same direction the swing moves. Similar principle works on a skateboard - think of the trajectory your board will travel tilted and you have to dive with your body into that curve putting all your weight on heels or toes. If you’re making a tight turn your body shouldn’t delay - it has to turn synchronized with the board. Otherwise your body will get twisted blocking the further turning. So first of all you get rotation momentum from your body turn, secondly you stay aligned with your board which is evidently so important.
By the way I invite you to check my Instagram - there’s some fresh media there. I plan to upload here my videos from Egypt holidays ☺️
@@olegeau oh wow thank you so much!! this is really helpful :OO specially about the timing and alignment of the body and the board, i can see that's most likely what makes me lose balance or speed and prevents me from carving tight 🤔 i'll keep this in mind from now on 😊
And i'll be sure to check out that more recent content 👀
У вас классно получается
this video is my nightstand motivational shit... love it. surf on my dude
Thanks so much bro! Couldn’t hear smth more pleasant for the evening! 😊
Which bushing are you using?
Hi 👋🏻 I’ve put stock black cone bushings from Paris v3 RKP trucks. I don’t know the duro, actually you could use any soft bushings. VENOM bushings are cool and they have all duro range in their lineup. For kids or below 70 kg weight 78-80A bushings are preferable. And not locking the bushings by tightening the kingpin nut is important.
So your telling me I can do allll that on my 20$ penny?!? Wowww
Hi Mariam! 👋🏻
Not all Penny board copies are the same, of course. Usually 15 USD boards can't be ridden at all, while 30 USD Pennys I’ve seen were good enough like this one.
Often it helps a lot to change bushings to better ones like Venom Supercarve 78A. They cost 8-10 USD. Another cool tip is to flip over the upper washer, so that it extends the upper bushing freedom.
So the budget of a rideable Penny is about 40 USD. While sometimes Original store makes sales and offerboards for 60 USD. I think this is the best option because original wheels feel much better and the trucks are much more solid.
@@olegeau thank you so much for the information Oleg! I'll get better bushings as you said Love the vids btw🔥 subbed! ❤️
Hello Oleg is it hard to pump on a pennyboard? How lond you were learning to pump until you catch the right technique?
@@RussianTroll-ie6gr Hi, it’s subjective whether it’s hard or not. It’s just like on any other skateboard or longboard. Pumping surfskates is much easier. For traditional cruisers you mostly want to use your back foot to dig into the carves. It’s just like riding a swing. You just need to catch the resonance. It depends on your riding skills. If you can carve quite aggressively it could take several trainings to be good in it.
@@olegeau thanks
We have the same penny color scheme Nice
Yeah, beautiful colors, I miss this board 🥰 It’s gone to the cool little girl - our family friend.
My pink Penny is beautiful too 😀
Молодец,,Олег, классно катаешься!
Excellent
Thanks! 😊
Is this setup still good for fast straight cruising ?
Hi Jod! It depends on a rider. I can hold a board without wobbling on any setup up to about 40 km/h which I think is already very fast for Penny. Anyways I always stand for nimble setups that steer well but people often tighten the trucks to feel safer. I think the more you increase your carving skills the faster you could go on lose trucks as you use your feet strength to hold and control the board. Not just standing relaxed and fully relying on the trucks.

Thank you, bro! 😀🤙🏻😊
What is your weight?
67 kg
Have you ever have wheel bite?
Hi Haleman! There wasn’t wheel bite on this Penny although I replaced the bushings to softer ones and put upper flat washer (actually flipped the stock cup washers). If there was wheel bite I’d either flip back the cup washers so that it’s edges would touch the hanger blocking the further lean or I’d have used extra risers to increase the clearance
There’re some Penny copies that have lower trucks. I don’t recommend them but risers likely would solve the problem.
@@olegeau wow thanx man, that should help, just bought my first Penny (a cheap one) to try them out, just waiting for it to arribe!
@@helamanavalos9806 If the bushings will be too stiff I recommend Venom Super Carve 78A

@@olegeau thats great, thanx!!! You're the best
Good job, Oleg. Question: Do you have to significantly loosen up your trucks to be able to pump like this?
I've been riding mine in a similar way and I keep my trucks pretty loose.
