Okay, so we wouldn’t recommend screaming down a half-pipe on a Penny, but when it comes to cruising around the park, pulling off freestyle stunts or even rediscovering skateboarding 30 years down the line, this classic board is perfect. You can even complete the whole 70s vibe and make a total Tony Alva of yourself (kids get Googling) with some denim shorts, tube socks and a straggly mane. What’s that? You already have? Bravo, or, as they used to say back in the 70s, totally radical, man!

Got one of these for Christmas, and was brilliant for riding around on flat ground, but I felt it didn't have enough stability for going down hills. Personally, I prefer the Stereo Vinyl cruiser, because it comes with better bearings and and wheels. My Penny came with Abec 3 bearings, and the Stereo with Abec 7.Sam, New Milton, Hants - 3rd April 2012
Had one of these for about 2weeks now and its perfect for the morning commute to my 6form college and around the building. I was at first a bit nervous of the board-to-foot ratio but once it came I was quite shocked at how easy it was to ride with size 10 feet, and how maneuverable it is (probably a 1. 5m diameter to turn it 360degrees - Fab for rolling into lesson or your office on). I wouldn't recommend this for bombing any hills but it is definitely worth the buy if you are looking for something, zippy, maneuverable and lightweight.Edd Yeo, Tamworth, Midlands - 17th November 2011
Are they better than buying a long board?. Im thinking of using it on the way home from school lots of tight turns.Bob, Leicster - 29th October 2011
Firebox says: The Penny board is a great carver, so will probably have a shorter turning circle than your average longboard.
Any chance you could let me know what abec bearings these come with?Edd Yeo, Tamworth, Midlands - 29th October 2011
Firebox says: Hi Edd!, I would of thought they would be around ABEC 9 quality. Certainly good enough to shred your nostalgic heart away!
Is it good for cruising? Also can it take tight corners because I have a great cruising longboard but it can only take wide corners and I wondered if the smaller the board the tighter the corners thanks :)., - 5th October 2011
Firebox says: Hi, our resident skateboard expert has said that "it's pretty nimble". You should be able to cruise away to your heart's content.
I'm so tempted to get one, just £10 away now, but is the transparent one transparent enough to see the ground racing away beneath you're feet? :).Anonymous, UK - 27th August 2011
Are you the only supplier in the UK ?Jeff, New Port - 26th July 2011
Why do we have to wait so long for them ? And will there be anymore colour combinations ??George, Kent - 23rd July 2011
Firebox says: Sorry for the wait George, those are all the combos we've got so far.
Is it the size of a longboard?Gwenllian, Wales - 6th June 2011
Firebox says: 57cm x 15cm - not longboard size.
