Thanks to all my great subscribers! You are all awesome! I appreciate the love!
See ya soon
Nice to see you back can’t believe it’s been 4 years
Crazy how fast time moves! Thanks for being a loyal subscriber for all that time!
i remember watching your videos back when i was in middle school. videos like this about your pennyboard inspired me to start just cruising on my skateboard and i even eventually bought a nickelboard lol. now that i pretty much grew up and finished my first year of college, i wanted to let you know that its so awesome to see you upload again and i cant wait to see the new content you're gonna come up with :)
Thank you for the amazing comment. It means a lot to know that I offered you a bit of inspiration. I'm glad you are enjoying the new content, and look forward to rolling more out in the near future. Best of luck in school. Never grow up too much...it's aways good to have a bit of kid in you :)
Hahaha damn, literally same. He also unintentionally introduced me to asmr before I even knew what it was. The voice & vibe from the vids is soothing and relaxing as hell. Nice to see that nothings changed besides the name
great to see you making videos still! I remember when you first dropped the penny board video
Woah! Didn't expect you to be here.
This comment form a million subscribers CZcamsr I’m shook!
shook
ha! hey man, didn’t know you were a subscriber, but I’m glad you’ve been following along on the journey! thanks for the comment
Woah rage
Penny brand boards are truly incredible. I found one in a storm drain outlet all rusted and beat up, bought new bearings and cleaned it up a bit and it’s an incredible ride. Definitely recommend!
This is very likely THE best testimonial Penny could have asked for - real life long term testing that demonstrates what a great value their boards are. I'm 63 and just got back into skateboarding after a 45-year hiatus. I bought my son several Penny boards when he was growing up and I always thought they were intriguing so it was no surprise that I bought Penny boards - 4 of them - when I got back into the sport. 🤙
Hi😊, ainda está andando de skate?
Omg im crying
Happy tears?
@@CottageandCompany Yes
Looking through the comments, this is so wholesome
Man,I remember when you posted the girst video of this Penny, it's so nice to get a feedback of nowadays stats. Mine is in great condition too,with no maintenance lol. Greetings from Brazil!
Great to hear your board has been holding up well! They're very durable. Thanks for the comment!
We bought our boards the same exact year. I also haven’t done a THING to it maintenance wise. Never even changed the bearings nor have I lubricated them, and it still feels like I’m riding a cloud. I can only imagine how smooth it would feel with a bearing change
That is awesome! Glad to hear it's holding up as well as mine!
@mhm ok haha my penny board kinda took a toll and the bearings died after like 7 years, replaced the bushings, bearings, and wheels and my god it feels like a cloud
love the birds chirping in the background. Makes the video more calming and zen like haha
Birds are nature’s music for sure!
I must've unsubscribed a year or two ago when I was clearing out my subscription box. I randomly got the urge to watch one of your old videos, and lo and behold, you uploaded today. I re-subscribed immediately and It's so great to see your uploading again! The original penny board video is the first one I watched of yours. Hope you're doing well!
haha, what a coincidence! Doing well thank you! Hope you're well too! Welcome back to the Kualalumpar Subscriber Club! 😂
Wow, it's been a while. Your old videos were a big reason why I decided to buy a penny board, and I've been skating ever since. Thanks a lot man
Bro I legit have a white penny board with black wheels and red hardware because of your videos. I found your channel when I was a senior in high school. I bought a house this past December and I rescued 2 huskies who are always full of energy so I started riding my penny board again and I let them pull me on it for like an hour a day in my neighborhood they love it. Anyways, good to see you uploading again this brought back memories lol.
haha thats awesome! Is your board holding up as good as mine? Congrats on the house. I adopted a dog recently, he was a stray on the streets of Bogota Colombia actually. Might meet him in a future video. Cheers!
Kualalumpar Videos Holding up great! I took the grip tape off about a year ago so barely any wear on the plastic and nothing wrong with the trucks, wheels, or screws. Congrats on the dog btw!
I Tried a skateboard (not a penny) and i loved it! I’m 12 years old and i searched on Amazon some longboard but there are too big, so i searched for a not official pennyboard, but i’m not shure to buy it, but After this video i’m probably going to buy an 27” pennyboard because are very strong and they have an extreme durability! So i preferre to spent little more, but better. 👍
Ps. Are passed some day and i bought a penny nickel board 👍 (casper)
Really good review, thank you. Your 7-year experience with your board and documented proof of how well it has held up is really a testament to the quality of Penny skateboards. Thanks for this review!
Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
i really like your videos- i've only watched like 2 or 3 but they're very nice and peaceful. great job! 👍
I remember watching your videos as a young teen back when I was in middle school. You inspired me to get a penny board. I stopped once I reached high school because I began driving myself but ever since I graduated, my friends and I have been riding around the city exploring places we've never been to before. Thank you for inspiring me to pick up my penny again.
The joy it brings me to know that you’re back is insane. Your videos inspired me to get a board and start exploring. Keep up the fantastic work brotha 🤙🏼
Very happy to hear that! Thanks for being a loyal subscriber. Have fun out there!
Crazy to think it's been over 10 years since I saw your first vid. Awesome board
This made my day! Can’t wait for the next video
So glad! More coming soon!
Glad you’re back! I will say that I had a pair of Vans where the waffle pattern sticks out as bumps. They sat inside the deck of the penny board amazingly!
This is the video I've looking for many years, the video that tell how the stock penny takes the beating for years.
Thanks for making this video now iam really confident with my purchase.
im so glad your video popup in my feed! its been a while still love your videos
edit: Penny Brand are amazing, 7yrs and still rides smoothly, even w/out maintance
i got a knock off 27"
still amazing after 3yrs, but when i cleaned it last day the pivot cup came off into pieces... 😅
Hey dude! I just ordered brand new bearings, hardware, and new trucks off the penny board website! They were so quick to ship and honestly it's not too expensive to truly make your board brand new with the same well loved deck you've always had. When I took apart my penny board the hardware and trucks were blown out and caked full of dirt. Honestly it's so worth the time!! I had to watch a few youtube tutorials but my board is solid now and moving faster.
Nice seeing one of your vids popping in my feed, I remember watching your penny board storied years ago when this was really trending. Have a nice one mate!
Thanks for hanging around for all those years. I appreciate the comment. Hope you're well!
i remember when i got my first penny. it was because of you man thank you for making the videos that you did they brought me lots of joy.
Your channel is the best I really like your style bro :)
Damn time moves fast. I remembered watching you when I was in the 5th grade, you actually inspired me to buy a board. I’m a first year senior now and seeing your vids again brings back the nostalgia.
Time sure does fly! Thanks for sticking around all this time. Glad you’re well!
so weird. I was just thinking about the original vid, was trying to find it and thought i was tripping when i saw you just posted this. Missed you bro
Oh my goodness, I didn’t realise you came back! So glad to see you, old pal.
Welcome back! its so good to see you again!
Thank you! Nice to hear from you!
one of your videos from 7 years ago came up on my recommended and I checked your channel to see if you were still posting and after 7 years, woah
You are the reason that I bought a Penny board many years ago, and I've used it heavily all through my first semester of college in addition to using it throughout middle and high school. This video brought back so many memories for me and it's so great to see you on CZcams again, even if I saw your video 6 months late hahaha. I hope you know you've inspired so much of your audience and I hope everything is going well for you!
Hey Ethan! Nice to hear from you. Can’t thank you enough for your kind words. Means A lot. Very happy I provided a bit of inspiration to get a board. Thanks for all the years of being a subscriber. Here’s to many more! Take care 🍻
@@CottageandCompany Wow thanks so much for the reply, that means so much!! You take care as well! 🍻
aw look at you, growing right in front of our screens lol, remember when you were a little kid dropping pennyboard vids ^_^ nice to know u're still riding!
Your videos are always so peaceful. Thanks brother!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching
Cool vid bro, really put me in a great mood :)
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!
Dude I own a Globe Bantam Clear and a Pennyboard in large part because of your videos. My pennyboard has required new pivot cups to the trucks. But no other maintenance was required. My nickelboard also needed new pivot cups after several years. The Globe Bantam Clear has been flawless from a maintenance standpoint (but it is annoyingly heavy). Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Still have my board from 2011 and its held up really well too! pretty much the same amount of wear as yours. Great review!
Good to hear! Thanks for watching!
Very awesome review ! I'm looking in to getting one, i have a regular skateboard and want a penny for rainy days
Bro same im riding to school keep making these videos RESPECT
Good stuff
idk who you are or what you do mainly but i love you’re getting back into the game, having 30k says something about your personality man, keep on striving and pushing for content ✊🏼 30k people have found you, and liked you, keep going!! 💪🏼
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it! I make videos because I enjoy being creative and interacting with my great subscribers like you. Its a real pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Hey awesome your making videos again 😊 makes me want to get my old penny board out, shame the surfaces are so poop in rural England 🤕
Do it! Sorry to hear about the road surfaces, but I'm sure there are some beautiful roads in rural England to ride on.
Super awesome dude, i have one like that with marble green color
I ended up getting one because of your video xD i got the Casper glow 22, i was about to get a knock off from big 5.. but I'm 220 lbs so i went with Penny. And i don't regret it it's my second day rolling getting used to it and i love it
I remember like 6 years ago I watched his review on this penny board and it gave such a better review and why I’ve had mine since watching that video
no wayy you posted I remember watching the penny vs nickel at like 12 years old deciding which one to get. It’s been a while...
Sure has! Nice to be back. Thanks for the comment! Hope you're well.
I've had my own penny for about 5 years now and I keep it in my trunk with me always for when I wanna run errands quickly.
What happened to your Globe Bantam Clear?? Thanks for posting this long-term review of your pennyboard. Brought back good memories!!
You got me cruise boarding again and now my little brother is starting too
nice
Thanks!
I love the sound of your bord
I remember the penny board review from back in the day.
It’s great to see you back,
You should try bleaching your board it would look good as new
Good idea! Might do that. It's due for a good cleaning.
I just used it on rainy weather and it's awesome! No remorse because it's plastic i also notice it's faster than my regular skateboard while riding with the stock bearings, if i free spin the wheel it doesn't spin much but when i roll on it it is very fast
DAMN YOU’RE BACK
yes! 😁
Hey did you ever keep the organic board? The biodegradable one?
Ehhh nice to see another video man, great to see your penny in good condition after all those years, mad nostalgia from my first time watching your unboxing on it
Glad you enjoyed, I just revisited my unboxing video. I real classic. Makes me happy to see my board holding up so well over the years. Thanks for watching!
Dang my penny board is dusty after all that years after you uploaded the last video
yay another one!!
Yay! 😁
the scenery resembles that in your old videos. do you still live in the same area and film in those spots ?
Actually, no. I've lived in 4 different states in the last 4 years 😂. Every state has its own unique beauty.
I have had my original penny board for 9 years! I accidentally had a huge fall and it snapped in half and I was super sad and surprised that this thing could snap:( What we did instead of buying a new one we took the wheels from the broken one and put the on the deck of an cheap one to save money🙂
The decks have a lifetime warranty
you didn’t changed the pivot cups over the 7 years?
8 years later 🔥
Great video! Curious have you stayed relatively the same weight in 7 years? Do you remember about what you weighed 7 years ago?
Truthfully yes, I've remained the same weight, around 160lbs
Does it truly matter riding in the rain? I heard with penny boards the bearings are stainless steel and don't rust.
What technique did you mainly use for braking on this board? if you've been tail scraping, that wear on the tail is quite impressive!
Also, if the nose was used for braking, the wear is amazing! The same goes for the sides of the board. If you used it for braking, it's just mindblowing! But if you didn't, it's incredibly mundane. 🙄🙄🙄 (you think frequent usage over 7 years of tail scraping could possibly look like that? 🤣)
Price of that penny board?
The gum in my stomach: oh shit can’t miss this
*plop*
I got my penny board because of your videos
Thats great! Have fun!
Nearly a 10 year anniversary 😀
missed you brodie
Same here man. Hope you're well!
😍😍😍😍
I just wanna ask what’s the size of your board?
Plus, would you recommend it as a first skateboard 🛹?
Thanks 🙏
he has the 22 inch model
Remember me as your 400th like
Thank You once again for another great video!! Do you know whether or not Penny has kept this productionquality? It's not unheard of that a company lowered the product's quality for finacial gains once they established their name. I'm thinking about getting a board in the future, but I have no experience nor any knowledge of boards etc. It's just a thought I had watching this (awesome) video. Thank you once again!
Hi there! This is actually something I was thinking about while making this video. I unfortunately, cannot comment on Pennys current production quality since I only have my 7 year old board. Maybe I'll have to get a new board in the future and compare the two. Best of luck, sorry I couldn't be more help. Thanks for watching!
Kualalumpar Videos No problem at all! Thank You very much!
My pivot cups have worn down and now the metal part has been worn down a bit. Had this happened to you? Do you know of anywhere to by replacements or make your own?
Penny sells replacement pivot cups. They are sold together with spare bushings. You have to buy the bushings in order to get the pivot cups. Unfortunately the penny trucks use non-standard size pivot cups, so only the original Penny pivot cups or Penny clone pivot cups will fit. Hope this isn't too late to help your pennyboard.
I like penny boards because they are very light and easy to carry.
Welcome back!!:) Okay lol random question: What is your first name?😂 I’m not sure if you’ve said it before but I’ve always wondered lol! Also, are you okay after the wipeout at the end?! Just noticed that:( Haha, have a great rest of the day!
Thanks! My first name is Palmer :) I am okay after the little tumble at the end! 😂 just a little scratch.
Kualalumpar Videos Cool name! I’m glad to hear all is well!:)
I wish I still had my Penny board :( . Gonna get one again someday. Have you heard of the 32' Penny board?
Definitely get a one again! I have heard of the 32" boards. Might have to test ride one some day.
@@CottageandCompany i have a 32" penny board, its totally worth getting
for 7 years you used the board rain or shine and never replaced or at least cleaned your bearings? didn't it get stiff? like wasn't there any signs of corrosion?
Surprisingly no! As the video shows, it's still in pretty good shape!
This made me wanna skateboard so bad.. I know what I’m doing tomorrow now :)
Exciting! Enjoy
where i can buy a penny board like yours? can you give me the name or something like that?
damn my wheels came apart after 3 years the bearing popped out of its socket last week i ordered new wheels and bearings and they come exactly in summer xD
Damn bro it’s been a while
What bearings do you have on that board
The stock bearings that come with the Penny boards
You should do a nickel 7 year test
Good idea! 😁
hey, I dont know if you'll see this but I hope you do. i have the same shoe size as you but i may weigh more. i weigh 180 and my question is an easy one. are the bushings hard enough to be stable? i want to get a penny pretty badly it's just that I want to make sure my penny board will treat me right once I get it like yours has treated you. thanks and I hope I said what I needed to. also....just one more actually. how satisfying is it to see your pure white board age from its once perfect white to dirtied up from adventures?
Hey there! From my experience the bushings are plenty stable, very little wobble, especially at high speeds where many boards tend to do it. It’s been nice that my penny has held up to well over the years but it would be nice to give it a bath to try and restore its white shine 😀. Thanks for watching!
@@CottageandCompany great response. thank you so much for answering :)
Yo SETH how you getting to the beach house
What ever happened to the peanut board and banana board?
I still have them!
I don't get why people hate on penny boards.
You can't deny that they're durable, smooth to ride and are just generally great cruisers.
Sure, they aren't the best for tricks, but that's not what they're made for.
Agree. I think they're excellent cruisers and are reasonably priced, too. Really hard to beat this combination. BTW, three guys at Braille have videos of them doing tricks on the Penny, Nickel, and the 32" cruisers.
@@DonaldHSchon right? I got myself a 32" penny and it's so good for just riding around in town, can do some basic tricks on it, but it's definitely more difficult to do tricks on it because of the flexibility.
Still such a good street board though
He would make great ASMR videos
😂maybe
The nickel board where is it
Film style is 👌🏼muy bien
I also wish penny sponsored you lol. You are very deserving of it
Thanks for the comments man! I appreciate it. We'll see what the future brings :)
Bro how did you not maintain your board for 7 whole ass years!
Broke my Penny and didn't even try or anything it's now mounted on my wall
You should try to completely restore the pennyboard in a video to either give it new life or to make yourself fall in love with it more. If you wanna know how to do that, let me know!
That would be pretty cool! 😎
cringed when he rode through the water
Yo can you make a video on how to stop speeding wobbles
I could in the future. In the mean time try tightening your trucks a little bit, that should do the trick :)
Kualalumpar Videos ok thanks
I was 1 year old in 2013
wow! 😂
