Sup guys, what are your thoughts on buying a cheap knock off penny board and replacing the bearings? Will it be worth it then? Don't want to spend €100 on a thing like this.

That's an option but bare in mind that really good barings can cost a bit, too. Also, it would be good to test if the board is suitable for your weight. Some of the really cheap ones are rather made for kids/ lighter weight adults. I bought a Nickel knock off plastic cruiser by Rigde in England, check them out. The deck feels quite sturdy (to my 5'1" ass at least) and the price is a fraction of an authentic Penny/ Nickel. Alternatively, you could get a used authentic Penny. I've seen ones in good condition sold for 20-50 Euros.

Either buy a proper, expensive skateboard/cruiserboard, or don't bother at all. Cheap boards will break and you will fall and it will hurt like a bitch for weeks.

only if you're a little bitch.

Don't listen to this guy, there's almost no difference between a branded deck and a cheap deck unless you're grinding the fuck out of it, ask the Mexican kids at your local park what deck they use for proof. You're not going to be doing tricks on a penny anyway.

Get some new bearings and trucks and you're good to go.

Anon, please don't buy a shit one. Australian penny is well worth the 80-100 dollars. Trust me I have had mine for 2 years and it still rides like new.

No problem man, personally I think the nickle board is way easier to ride.
