Nobody in this world has a better spirit about skateboarding then Tom Penny and I get reminded off this over and over again

Tom Penny and Andrew Reynolds both had the most beautiful kickflips and frontside flips to this day

P rod needs to be put in the mix too my boy.

THEY ARE A CUT ABOVE THE REST

[@OldSchoolVibes1978]

Reynolds definitely took inspiration from Penny there. No one was doing them like Tom in 1995..

[@CharlieZelenoff]

Penny is the GOAT....PERIOD!

[@podcastsyoutube5524]

"2nd go son" frontside flip down the 6. Legendary.

[@hream7105]

Im 36 and still skate because of tom. Idk why but when I watch tom he motivates me to keep going.

[@frankcastle3827]

This man deserves to be a millionaire already

[@tvsavery666]

I agree but Tom probably wouldn't even want that. Maybe just good knees and ankles so he can skate forever

[@frankcastle3827]

@@tvsavery666 true lol

[@marcelboogaard3809]

Tom purposely walked away from mainstream skating. He could have killed all the contests that came after his departure and made millions but that’s not him.

[@P1Brand]

This is a really cool segment; the filmer's notes and first hand accounts make the footage and clips more enjoyable.

[@dasnutnock6408]

Great video. Penny’s the skateboarder’s skateboarder, and always will be 👍

[@brentwatier6654]

Thanks so much for sharing this. it’s such a privilege to still watch Tom Penny do some simple, yet amazingly stylish tricks, the fact that we have footage coming from him in 2023 is amazing 😊

[@mikeuptegrove]

Rad. Tom still has it in there to pull out. Nothing more motivating than being reintroduced to Es I guess. Sometimes, when I think back upon things, I think it’s fucked up when the most talented people get off track and lose focus before the world truly gets a chance to see what they’re fully capable of. What we did see of Tom was truly incredible skateboarding, but with his natural talents, when I think back about it, I sorta feel like we never even saw him get to his greatest level. It feel like we only ever saw Tom warming up before he just sorta disappeared. His warm up in skating was more impactful than some who have fully focused careers. So, you can only imagine what would’ve come out of Tom had he decided to show us show us.

[@wandalysdejesusmolina3713]

Tony Hawk was once quoted saying: "If Tom Penny ever started skating Vert full time, we all might as well retire".

[@mikeuptegrove]

@@wandalysdejesusmolina3713 ha ha. And it’s easy to see where he was coming from. Tom made transition look easy. He found this like weightless moment in his momentum and in that second is when he popped, flicked, flipped, and caught everything, before gravity even knew he was there. The closest thing I’ve seen in the decades since is Curren Caples new footy release. That shit blew my mind. I’m putting Curren next to Tom and Carroll now with regard to style. He definitely is taking a page from Tom’s playbook.

[@sk8academy241]

​@@mikeuptegroveNot quite a comparisson, Tom's laid back style, personality and skills where decades ahead of the rest. And underground icon for sure.

[@craigjackson3744]

Loved Tom from the start in the 90's when I was skating back then, so great to see him still going strong. My all round favourite skater legand. 👊

[@ludovikmarlak4109]

Wonderful people wonderful meeting and again wonderful Tom.

[@patrickbyrne5070]

You a G for this. You made a legend happy and pushed him too. Beautiful work mate. Still sick after all these years. That young lad that saw the sw flip gonna be inspired

[@mikebroussard3782]

Nobody did it like Tom, before or after, been a fan since ‘90

[@kanklelove1826]

Penny's style is Epic, and all him.

[@kyleimpson]

Dude you’ve been active today! Love the vids as always. Tom is a legend, one of the all time greats

[@Tony-ql6sw]

What a treat of a video , loved every moment of this. Penny and the way he skates could be a mantra for life.

[@deciduousdiscipline9592]

So sick. Appreciated the commentary. Penny is such a legacy skater and great to see him cruise around the city. Hells yeah

[@KOL630]

That white T-shirt, blue jeans and brown suede shoes is a dope timeless look. All XXL of course 😎 Awesome video btw. I’ve followed TP since I was a young skater, now I’m a similar age to him. Still think the golden era of 90’s and early naughties is yet to be surpassed. We had the greats; Muska, Thomas, Koston, Rowley, Boulala, York, Milton, Penny and of course all the others I have forgotten. Great times.

[@gorelordzskate-racing-videos]

Thank you for capturing this stuff!

[@dioakata]

cant wait for the Tom's 2023 video. hype for that

[@thinglizzy2718]

I watch Tom Pennys Anthology part before I skate like once a month. Nothing gets me more hyped to go skate

[@Dabblevideomag]

That part is the best. Hands down

[@thinglizzy2718]

[@Mat-hk8jw]

Tom and Alex were creating styles and tricks on death box before going stateside and becoming flip,at the time the UK wasn't really represented apart from Rowley and penny

[@DeadHandX]

Nice to hear another Skate Sauce project is coming on

[@madzen112]

Doesn't get more late 90s skating than this

[@patrickbyrne5070]

Penny just waltzin in to LV in Paris gettin mad swag … that’s fkin sick. Respect. Man was real one. Legends never die

[@memoirsovmorris345]

I can't believe I was in Paris without a board and that place in France is such a beautiful skate park

[@JonnyPlaysKhaen]

I tried to emulate Tom Penny back in the late 90's. I was so stoked to land a frontside flip down this seven stair. At that moment with the same kind of beanie hat on, I actually thought I was Tom Penny. I was so happy I landed that trick I Busted out in tears of joy.

[@bovedli]

Bless it up Jah Rastafarai! Bless it up Tom!

He makes me want to dress baggy as fuck again like it's 1999, but there's no way I could pull it off lol.

[@geoffkeough9728]

man, penny has always had "mirror" hammers /lines in his parts over the years....shit i can't remember the name of that sketchy bank with the chain on top...probably because tom landed just about every trick imaginable reg,swtch,fky,nlly, and pretty much ruined it for everybody else in one session. from how the story gets told it was mostly first try after first try also....anyway, it was guys like tom penny and of course salmon agah-Salmon i think was a huge influence on anyone coming out of that era's idea of what skating switch was supposed to look like and when you first heard people asking "what way does he skate?" after watching an entire part lol.

That's his style. It's called being an individual. Homie don't need no fools telling him how to dress and fix his hair. Dudes a skateboarder. A real one. Hello, think you on the wrong channel dude.

[@pdxraves]

@@charlieduvall6463 REALlY? Ohh I see I am now on the wrong channel because I have an individual opinion about a 44 year old man looking frumpy. Didn’t realize talking about someone else’s clothes was going to make Charlie cry. Do you still see Welsh looking like a 19 year old Charles? Maybe eS will make some Tom Penny bandanna’s so you can Dab up those tears while you try to regulate a channel.
