  • This footage is from the Radlands 1994 contest. This section is from a video the skatepark made of the contest. This summer this footage will be 17 years old. Maybe you read or heard this was the contset where Tom Penny is heckled / taken the piss out of by the American Pros. You can see all the Pros by the long back wall, there will be alot you may recognize, at points you can see them joke about his style and the way he lands some tricks. It also looks like Penny swerves a bit to close to them at times. I was at the contest, I didn't notice any of this ( I was a little high). He did land that kickflip transfer but only in practice, also the big 360 flip. This is my last Tom Penny video. Thanks for watching them, and posting them in other places so more people can see them. As always please look at my other Tom Penny videos, eight in total now, and spread the word. Thanks.

    this guy inspired so many, I don't think he even knows this. There is no one who has this pure natural style in skateboarding.

    Wow...best thing...the casual vert drop in with one wheel caught on the coping.

    He used to come to the Leamington Boy's Club in the late 80s/early 90s and shut down the session. A natural! Glad that someone else noticed the way that the US pros were with him that day, they were clearly sneering at him. The big boys were soon silenced when he sessioned Cali a year or two later though.

    Penny is king... Nice to hear that the announcer isn't screaming after every trick like "OOOOH A SWITCH FS FLIP"

    my mate was standing near some us pros.they were making tuting noises and mumbling about tom.then when he did that 1st fakie front side flip over the small drive way chico turned to mike carrol and said tom skated like a string puppet.the next year henry sanchez came and did 1 trick.that switch backside flip off the start of 411 europe 95.the rest of the time he was boozing a slapping toms hands and patting him saying he was dope all the time.he made chico and others look the idiots.big up mr.p

    He made skating look effortless which was absolute prime when I skated. He was the goat. Later came on people like Bastien Salabanzi and Paul Rodriguez. It's all about looking like you're floating on a cloud with whatever you're doing.

    @pyro5287 yeah mike carroll actually sounds like he's going to cry during his runs when he stops the contest because the crowd are so tight. hell in penny's run people are on the course and it doesn't phase him!

    • @jasondashney
      @jasondashney 4 роки тому +3

      Danny Way? Actually nowadays a boatload of kids could do it. In those park contests guys 540 in big cement bowls and can certainly sw fs flip a big gap. The level today is insane.

    i have this video too. lol i bought it off a guy who his name escapes me but was a bit of a name himself was on 411 (early video maybe 7 or something) and made that crazy old vid bubblegum weekend which had penny in it for a bit.
    anyway i reckon penny could have won this comp but at times it looks like i can't be arsed lol but some of the tricks he puts down in this comp are too much!

      @tomf4087 Рік тому

      I was there that year. Most years in 90s, but anyway, in 94 which I think this was, he was unknown, and there was a bit of an atmosphere at the time. I was helping mate with photos for mag. My impression was they didn't know penny and some thought he came across a bit aloof and arrogant. Most Brits knew it was just Tom being his smokey self, but some yanks were definitely a bit threatened lol
