    Skating vert like a miniramp, incredible!

  • @alkashroom
    @alkashroom 13 років тому +6

    i'm still looking at it over and over!! look at how his board went, so beautifully flipping, so beautifully level board in air, so beautifully catching board in air, and so beautifully landing.. RAD!!!!!!!!!

    Tom does everything with so much style and ease. He's incredibly chill, and just an overall God of skateboarding.

    This is definitely 95/96... The park had a totally different layout in 93. Plus people were still wearing those cut-off, ridiculously oversized jeans in 93. A chronological error on Thrasher's part here!

    @Jacam781 14 років тому +5

    Makes the vert looking like a mini ramp. Bloody hell!

  • @skatechatham
    @skatechatham 14 років тому +5

    I was at the Radlands comp in 93, i remember watching him do a huge kickflip fakie on the quarterpipe and it seemed totally unreal at the time, probably still unreal now... The american pro's looked a little stunned during his runs...

    Tom Penny is truly the king of the half pipe.

    Tom Penny once kickfliped over me 18 years ago. The gap he did was so big we didnt even know it was one lol. He went up a 6ft bank kickfliped over me standing there landing on a 5ft quarter 8ft away. He must of had over 6ft of air.

    He is a miracel!
    His style is wonderfull and his flips are magic.

  • @SuperPekka
    @SuperPekka 13 років тому +6

    It's god damn unnerving how clean and relaxed he always is. It's like he's not even skating, he's just floating around, going where the flow takes him.
    Unlike the skaters of today, who, too, are fun to look at occasionally, but who completely lack style, imagination and the whole aura of fun that Tom has.
    Skateboarding isn't just a sport, and Tom is one of the few people who understand that. And what's more, he could've been a Tony Hawk, rich and famous, but chose not to. That's real.

  • @angloricua
    @angloricua 15 років тому +2

    I was there that year he won that championships . I swear down the dude is on another level on vert with no pads busting bs tailslide like nothing fs flips beautiful fs stinky grabs and he evn pulled a cab to crooked to fakie I saw the whole thing my mate and I waiting to watch him on vert.
    street was insane too he wouldn't skate like other pros, he just fucks about maybe suddenly he gets in the mood to try something big and always lands first try, the god of one foot shiftys and bs no complys!

  • @ms-iz9ye
    @ms-iz9ye 9 років тому +7

    My fav skater of all time. But at :33 Who the fuck slaps the nose down on the coping during a kickflip to fake... That's crazy

  • @RaabBlog

  • @alkashroom
    @alkashroom 13 років тому +2

    damn it, i keep looking at 0:32 over and over again.. cleaniest, best, and most badass nollie b/s 90 kickflip.. so badass, so clean, so rad!! why wasn't it on one of his old videos? thanks phelps for hooking this video footage up to show his damn badass trick at 0:32 so i get to see it and be written on my brain!

  • @LucaBasilico
    @LucaBasilico 10 років тому +10

    Totally. This has got to be 1995 at least.

    • @milts22346
      @milts22346 10 років тому

      I'm sure that was bit before 95 Europe 411

    • @spacecaserecords1204
      @spacecaserecords1204 5 років тому

      I was thinking the same. Late 1994 or early 1995. Not just how Tom's skating -- amazingly, and post 1993 -- but because of the Rhythm banners and other things in the background.

  • @MRIWIPEMYOWNASS

  • @Jacam781

    Sick, though some of this footage is later than 93, as the MiniDisc sponsorship wasin 95

  • @4negri675
    @4negri675 15 років тому

    ive rewinded this footage numerous times the last couple of days.. .. but ive just noticed his switch ollie and switch was over an roadbanner and not just regular over the pyramid.. so sick!

  • @skateordie3377
    @skateordie3377 15 років тому +1

    @poteznido the reason it seems more 94-95ish footage is cuz Tom was ALWAYS ahead of everybody else.

  • @timcoats

  • @modestomouso1234
    @modestomouso1234 15 років тому

    It's been said before and I'll say it again - Best. Style. EVER.
    dude has always been and always will be my favorite skater of all time, right above cardiel and donny barley.
    my favorite footage of tom is probably his 96 radlands competition footage. the 411VM europe 96 tape was one of the first skate vids i owned, and it had that footy in there, and i was just blown the fuck away. plus it had the footy of his infamous hippie jump through the car at the puma gran prix in switzerland.

  • @TheSkateboardingShow
    @TheSkateboardingShow 13 років тому

    I would say that this has got to be at least 95, more probably 96. Either way its at least 16 years old and some of those tricks would still get coverage today
    AMAZING

    And to blaber on those switch ollies at the end are fucking enormous, those English road pointers are at least 4 foot tall, the guy was born to skate, I thin a few years after when he was living in london I saw him a bit grogy looking with a dirty leather jacket and hiking boots falling apart but hacking towards the 7 stairs they have, they had put a plastic road barrier in front of the stairs, the dude backside nollied over the barrier and down the stairs at about 1000 miles an hour man.FACT
