Why Penny, Why?

Penny Skateboards are not drilled to mount standard trucks.

This is about what Penny Trucks look like.

And this is what I wanted to happen.

I got these Surf-Rodz Indeesz.  I got the 100mm because I knew they were for a mini.  I mostly wanted them for this board.  

But...

If you look close, the mounting holes are off.  They are close to the old school mounting pattern, but just enough shorter not to work.  It is definitely the Penny drilling and trucks that are off, I compared them to the Indeesz and some Trackers and some Randals.  Maybe because Penny is an Australian company they use a different patern?  The Penny deck is counterbore for the hardware so redrilling will make it look screwy.  Oh well, good trucks for another board I guess.

Stock Penny Skateboard Bushings

These feel really soft although I am not sure of the durometer.

There is a small cone roadside and a barrel boardside.

The cone is 7/16ths tall and tapers from 1" to 3/4' wide.

The barrel is 9/16ths tall and 1" wide.

Penny Skateboard finally arrived.

I ordered this Penny Skateboard 2 Fridays ago and after what seemed like 100 years, it finally showed up today.  I had a Fosters to celebrate.

I got black with red wheels.  My normal schedule is to take my dog for a skate/walk twice a day, for about a mile each.  Although usually Liberty slows down and gets carried the better part of the way.  Point is this little guy will lots of miles by next week.  Then if I can get out skating with the other locals this weekend, I will post a review of how it compares to the other smaller, non wood decks I have.
