there are some k-mart knock off's going around for about 40 bucks if people are keen to get into the penny racing thing, i am kidna tempted to buy one as a pub board.... its less then a good set of wheels and i could probably strap it to my back or something

I used to have one. I just ran the stock trucks, but i changed the wheels. I upgraded to orange inheats, and put in HUGE risers, it was a great, light litter cruiser, with a rad roll speed. Also, uber fun to ride in carparks, and when ya want to get ya city slash on, slaloming in and out of the gaps in the crowd.

Bulleen 27th May.....plastic class ditch racing!

Get a wooden mini instead.

if you want to race on plastic I think the target knock offs are softer plastic than the penny.

I cant ride it but I'm heavy. Got one for my niece.

She loves it tho.

The old plastic boards were nick named 'Banana Boards', I don't know if that was the brand or just what we called them.  They were a bit of fun but on the whole pretty useless.  Penny boards look better compared to the old style plastics, just a bit of fun.  This vid gives you a good insight into the creator of Penny and where he is coming from.

They are heaps fun and ive ridden some of my friends ones, but they are pretty expensive for something I wouldn't use until its un-ridable

Hey guys,

Check out King of the Ditch for a great Plastics comp.
