    96-98ish Penny walks into Southbank, I’m sitting down havin a cigarette, he asks if the board a few feet away is mine, he rolls the wheels and squeezes the trucks and says can i ride ya board? I say sure. He then casually destroys the place, all 30-40 skaters (inc sponsored and pro’s) sit and watch. 20 mins later he gives back the board, says cheers, see ya later, and literally walks off into the sunset.

      My favorite part of Penny's style has to be "It's translatable to the Lamen". What I mean by that is....if u showed someone who knows nothing about skateboarding Tom Penny's skate part, they will show fascination and an understanding of how good Tom is. That's what I think it means when skaters say, Tom has the most naturally effortless style.

    Random unicorn Tom Penny moment. This is in 1998. I was chilling at the London Southbank, the Mark Gonzales Video days half cab grind spot. Penny walks by, borrows a board and does a switch kickflip over the wall into the bank. Second try, while wearing Timberlands. Then he walks off.

    Had some great Penny experiences! I skated with Penny in HB high school park and on of the days, so relaxed and quite he ollie over the wall and casually went across the street and did a huge switch frontside flip over the 13 stair rail with a crack in front of it. That became the famous etnies ad. He also left a demo in AlBQ I was at to go skate a vert ramp. After smoking a huge blunt to his face with no one around he busted a massive shuv it to fakie on the very ramp with timberlands on and a massive swole busted wrist. He shortly left and went to a Mccolum school with steep banks and nollied, nollie cab, switch ollie and switch frontside flip over the stairs and handrail into the banks for fun with pure dream Penny style. Honored to have had these experiences with him.

    I was lucky enough to be in Oxford 93-95 and Tom Penny was always around ripping the SS20 spine ramp and local area, even Northampton indoor park - same as Alex Moul. I think this is when he first burst onto the local UK scene getting coverage in mags and local vids. Such a talented skater with effortless style and always had people stop and watch him in awe. Absolute legend!

    The funniest part is that I didn't hear him speak at all for 20 years and when I finally saw him speak in some youtube video he has this super booming voice that is so unexpected but strangely fitting. Like yeah of course somebody who tries to nollie backside flip from the deck into a vert ramp would sound like that.

    Tom Penny story: a crew of us were in Barcelona, two of us went into temple bar that night. Standing outside having a smoke we got talking to a few other blokes from England, turns out they were on a stag do (bachelor party to our American readers). Among the revellers was on Ben Grove, if you don’t know the name, you don’t know British skateboarding. Ben asked if we’d seen any pros, we hadn’t. I said something along the lines of ‘I’m praying I see Penny’ he turned round and said ‘he’s in there’ (the bar). Me and my buddy went in an offered to buy the legend a drink, a strongbow (cider) is what he went with. We had a few minutes chatting. I don’t think it would be respectful for me to post the rest. Either way, meeting two legends of skateboarding in the same place will live with us for the rest of our lives.

    I was living in Milwaukee. The Flip team, The Firm and few other teams were doing a Thanksgiving Tour. They happen to stop in Chicago. It was snowing. I made the drive at the chance of seeing Tom. Half way through the demo, Tom walks in a side door. Get mobbed slightly. He signed my Cheech and Chong tee and I got a picture. Cool dude. Doesn’t like being the center of attention at all. Very humble.

Not sure if I’d love the song the same without that skating being a part of my childhood. Penny was the first dude I saw just casually skating at that level. Only person I can think of that’s more current that kinda does the same thing is Antwaun Dixon.

    Met him 3 times total... which as someone who grew up watching him was amazing, because he's like your favorite skater and you'd see pics in Sidewalk or Transworld or watch the video parts, but the prospect of meeting one of these top pros is like a pipe dream, right? Well as someone from the UK it is anyway lol 😆 But I was lucky enough to meet him at the Supra demo in Edinburgh and got him to sign my board, and then twice again at MACBA where he stopped and chatted for a while on the first occasion, and the second I actually filmed a line he was doing on the MACBA ledge with my phone, which I still have to this day and have never even seen online (I did share it with the CultOfTom guys so maybe it's on there somewhere) so if you want it hit me up and I'll send it to you... but yeah he was really friendly and just doing his thing as always lol.

    What's with everyone telling stories about a time they met Tom penny? Weird. Anyway I was visiting Germany for the munster world championships way back in 92. Outside the arena was a crap street course and large mini ramp. I got on the mini, nodded to Tom coz we had met a couple of times back in England, he then absolutely destroyed the mini ramp and pretty much shut it down. In 92 he was still quite small,and it was era of massive baggy clothes, so the look on all these European and American skaters faces as this little kid lost in a sea of fabric, that no one knew destroyed the ramp. So good

    90’s in Australia, penny is sitting in the corner of a skate shop, not signing autographs with the other pros , a friends girlfriend approaches him and he screams “ Get the fuck away from me! “

      Are you serious why did he react like this?

      Dead serious.
      The vibe was "coming down"

    The timeline for the broken hand is mentioned as 1996. Can anyone confirm that? I thought it was 1994. I got a VX in '95 and my Penny footage from Dallas was on my camera before that. I could be wrong though and I've always wondered.

    • @rawracefootage
      @rawracefootage Před měsícem

      I remember now, he broke his hand doing an ollie-oop f/s 180 from the vert to the bank ramp by the back door at Jeff Phillips. That was 2nd tour through Dallas in 1996. Does anyone know if the 1st flip tour was 94 or 95?

    Tom has the weirdest accent like a posh mixed with Liverpool accent,amazing skating casual style, power, grace,skill.

      It’s Oxford init. It is a pretty posh place. That’s what I always thought was joke- maybe the most ‘hiphop’ 90s skater (if that makes sense) was a guy from Oxford haha

    Was Tom Penny really so much better than the skaters of his time? I grew up skating in the late 90s 2000s. There were so many great skaters. I just never got the penny hype. What sets him apart?

    • @LateNightDateNight
      @LateNightDateNight Před 10 měsíci

      Watch his stuff, dude had so much style and made every trick look so easy. He had an endless repertoire, you’d see him at a spot and he’d crank out 10 different tricks in a row in a fashion that made it seem a given. That was my era, so many sick skaters at the time but this dude hit different.

    • @vancouverbill
      @vancouverbill Před měsícem

      No one could do proper fs flips in the mid 90s, only illusion style. Well maybe Jeremy Wray but not many people. Anyway Tom Penny could do them switch and regular with more style than anyone, that alone made him mythical. Everything else was gravy.
      Reynolds started doing them a few years later and by end of the nineties lots of people caught up but give years in that period when everything changed so fast was an eternity

    The ethnocentrism call is total bullshit. There has never been that in skateboarding, ya’ll smoking crack. Rowley knocked the doors down, Penny in tow.

      Nah definitely true. Dydrek said if a Euro did it who was not known then it didn't count.
      That's why Lordz (euro wheel company) made that video called "they don't give a f about us". Bastien had incredible part in that movie but very few saw it outside of Europe

      Obviously very different now but the Internet and social media changed things a lot and remove the power of us media to gate keep who was successful
