Penny Skateboards

I was looking for a way to stay in snowboarding shape over the summer and liked the idea of these Penny Skateboards.  I used to have a blue Penny board back in the early 80's, but I don't think I realized what I really had at the time. These boards are perfect in every way in my opinion.


These boards handle like no other board on the market. I have tried a few imitation boards and they don't seem to have the same formula as Penny.


Penny has been doing it forever, and the quality of the product they put out shows why.


They also have a larger Nickel sized board and a newer model known as the Marble.

If you are looking for a retro skateboard to cruise around the neighborhood or the beach, the Penny Skateboards brand is the one for you.

Vintage Santa Cruz Skateboard Posters

I have been holding onto these skateboard posters from Santa Cruz for years. My dad picked them up in a skate shop a long time ago and had been holding onto them since I was a little one. I finally have a garage to hang them up in.
I love the Slimeballs colors and logo. In case you don't know, Slimeballs from Santa Cruz were skateboard wheels back in the 80's. The 80's are back in a big way, but for some of us, they never left.
Also loving this OJ2 poster. Back then, you couldn't go wrong with neon colors. Does this have anything to do with OJ Simpson? Nope. Just another wheel company from the good old days of skateboarding. Have you seen Animal Chin?
Keep skateboarding alive. Don't forget your roots.
