I was so stoked to receive this Penny Skateboard delivery last month! As a kid, I would skateboard everywhere on my 31” wooden board, with black grip deck, neon pink wheels and silver skull artwork - the only kid on the block riding a board as we went on adventures in and around the Yorkshire countryside. I absolutely adored that skateboard, it was so hard leaving it all loved, scratched up and battered behind in an English charity shop when I was packing up my life to move to Aussie.

Fast-forward twenty-something years later and I received this little beauty through the mail. Shamelessly singing the lyrics to Avril Levigne’s 'Sk8er Boi' at the top of my lungs when it plays on the radio in my car (my preferred four wheel mode of transport these days) is probably the closest I’ve come to skateboarding in the past few decades.

So I guess you’re wondering why I’m even blogging about this, huh? Well, read on, people…
