Penny have a max load 80KGS(about 176 lbs), but I am 200lbs. I really want to rid a 22 inch skateboard. what brand I should buy?? please help me, thanks

Most cruisers should be able to take that weight,I mean Youtube shows some vids that can even take the weight of a car,I think another cruiser to consider is also the Eightbit cruisers.Hope it helps!!

yea stereo boards are cheaper than penny but i have found that they ride just as well. i weigh 180. no problemsmy friend weighs about 210 and rides mine sometimes no issues yet

I mean it says 176 by these boards seem pretty tough. I ve seen YouTube videos where cars run over them and they don't break. If you re concerned just get the stereo cruiser wood version. Idk if amazon offers them. Another brand is z-flex they offer crusiers and tiny skateboards. Then there others like sector 9 and stuff but again don't know if amazon offers them. But they are a little bit more because they are wood. Idk hopefully this helped. I bought my stereo for $40 bucks on here . Which is a good deal? I mean you should try it for that price.

I think you should really check out the globe bantam board. It's really sturdy too and works just as well. My friend has it and he really likes it. Its just a few inches longer but it makes no difference. It just might make it easier. Trust me. >.<

well they sell nickel boards which are about 25 to 27 inches and they look exactly the same as penny boards and probably have a larger max load. if you want a certain brand than i suggest penny because i know many people over 200 pounds who ride normal 22 inch pennies with no problem

you need a larger board at your weight .I forget how big they make the board , 44" would be the best , it will be quicker and still carry your weight.

I would suggest upgrading your bearings. You can get something faster. Skate shops or the Internet will have a wide selection to choose from. Research online about the various bearings that are available. You can pick them up pretty cheap or go all out and get high end bearings. You can also replace the wheels depending on what surface you skate on. My daughter has not done so but you can get a recommendation from a skate shop. I would definitely replace the bearings if you want to go faster. I hope this helps.

both are quality boards. My daughter has both. Pros for Penny: My daughter feels that Penny is smoother and a bit faster. Another plus for Penny is that you can customize just about any part of Penny board using customizer on their website. Last but not least plus for Penny is that it is infinitely easier to find spare parts. Pros for EightBit: EightBit is less expensive. EightBit flexes less (not sure if it is a pro, but I'd imagine it is a good thing). And finally a real life situation: My daughter's EightBit board was run over by a large SUV. All it lost was rear wheels with top hanger of a truck. Otherwise the board doesn't have any damage or cracks. And we're talking about weight of several tons! But its been at least a couple of months since I have contacted EightBits about this situation and provide the photos of the board and they have sent me only the wheels (free, which is nice, even though I didn't ask it to be free), but they still have not sent a truck assembly (or top hanger) because, and I'm quoting, "I'm sorry, we've had a hard time finding a replacement truck. If one comes up I will let you know. I apologize for the inconvenience.". So, a manufacturer having hard time finding a replacement truck? Seriously??!

Hi, thanks for the message. Since these are a little bigger you may sense a little faster speed. Also, something to consider is the contact patch. Are these wheels wider or narrower than the wheels that come on Penny boards? I cannot speak to this. Finally, the hardness may be a little different as well. Let me know how else I can help.Thanks!

The board is probably best suited for 115-145 lb, cuz it's a very flexy board, but my friend who was 185 used it, so will I hold like 200 I'm sure, just don't stand in the middle, spread your weight, if you want a harder board I'd look into Canadian maple, mine has like no flex to it cuz I'm so light

I contacted customer service and they replied with the following answer: "Thank you for choosing Power Systems, Inc. for your fitness needs. It is our pleasure to serve you. The weight capacity of the Premium Slant Board is 250. Lbs."Personally, this is the "best looking" slant board and should be fine for all rehab purposes. I plan however to use this beyond rehab during weighted decline eccentric squats and opted for another slant board that can handle 300lbs. Not much more when you think about it but for a comparative (slightly cheaper) price why not get a higher capacity.

Hey there Amy - Most longboards are designed for a top weight of 200-220lbs, and this is the case for the Z-FLex. If you're looking for a re-inforced longboard email us and we can help. All Z-Flex models can be found at this link:

Killerspin is on the lighter side , since it only has 5 plies. I own both paddles, but have used Stiga for only 2 days, and I have noticed that Stiga is a bit harder to control. If you like light weight paddles, go with Killerspin 600. Both paddles have good spins and speeds.

I'm using 71mm wheels. I'm more of a cruiser so if you are wanting to do slides and such I am not sure what wheels to use. I suggest looking on some forums for a more educated answer.

I don't know the standards but I am also about 220lbs and would not use this paddle board. Its great for my girlfriend who is about 130lbs. For me, it requires to much effort to stay balanced. For that reason I ride a much larger (inflatable) board. If you want a one-board-fits-both then get one suited for the larger person. With paddle boards, its not about capacity, but rather, whether it is suited for a certain sized rider and their ability. An beginner rider that is 225lbs will need a larger (volume) board than an experienced rider of the same weight. I would say this board for a beginner will work for someone up to 150lbs. For intermediate; 175lbs. For experienced; maybe 200lbs. I don't know the standards but I am also about 220lbs and would not use this paddle board. Its great for my girlfriend who is about 130lbs.

If used regularly it probably wont last that long. Better quality boards will support more weight. I'd go to a local skate shop and ask somebody.

if yours is 12 feet, you should get one of those nickle boards. they are like penny, just bigger. penny is 22", i think nickle is 27" (the size of the board)

Yes, it would be too big. I rode this board and I'm 170 pounds. Here's a site that lets you build a board for your kid: http://www.skatexs.com/It's definitely a much pricier option. If nothing else, this might give you an idea of what you should be looking for.

Hello, This board is a few notches higher in quality than Wal Mart. But not as nice as a skate shop. I don't think the 150 pounds is too much for this board.I am told they sell these 'Punisher' boards at Toys R Us, if you want to check one out in person first, but the Amazon price is better. The board is nice, just not pro quality. The biggest problem is that the wheels are too soft, but you can upgrade them at a skate shop once your skills warrant it.

Definitely 180mm trucks with 1/2 risers. Wheels can be anything upward of 70mm. I'd recommend 74mm 80a wheels for this board. Have fun man.
