The Set up: This 27” Ethiopia Skate Penny was designed by Californian artist BB Bastidas. Inspired to make a difference in the global skate community, BB came up with the intricate designs based off of African textiles that prominently feature the Ethiopian national colors. to the Ethiopia Penny 27”, features similar, yet unique graphics of its own tying together two amazing boards for one valuable project, Penny for a Purpose. Wheels and Bearings: The Ethiopia Skate X BB 27” boldly features transparent red wheels that match the red on the deck. These 59mm 83A wheels are great for cruising!

Awesome Penny Nickel Board!
I own a few skateboards, ranging from a smaller 22" to a 45" longboard, and this one is my favorite of them all. The African-inspired design is awesome, the 27" size is perfect, and the board rides super smooth. I specifically chose this board because I love seeing businesses give back to communities. In this case, Penny donated funds to help young people in Ethiopia enjoy the fun that is skating. I did have a small issue with delivery, but the seller was surprisingly quick to respond and fixed the situation to my satisfaction. Overall, this Nickel Board is perfect for anyone, ranging from a beginner to an experienced skater.

Good price. Nice deck.
Grip tape started peeling off the tail after my first Ollie. It came all the way off the tail. So I cut it off where it was peeling, the rest is sticking for now. I really like the deck. I am buying different wheels and probably different trucks though. But that's just becuase I want to take it to the skatepark and not use it only for cruising. It's a real penny for sure. And it's everything you should expect from a penny. Great price.
