Thank you to people like Danny Minnick for the clips from Skate Nation and Collage. Dan Wolfe (I know he filmed most of the classic 95 Europe footage), all the guys at 411 (Josh Friedberg and Steve Douglas) and thrasher high speed productions.
Thank you to Lucille Vallez of France for the opening clip of Corsica that you shot, it's very beautiful, and thank you to the British artist Nyilah for your lovely song 'on the other side of the sky', originally dedicated to Tupac Shakur.

Everyday I pray for the Epicly Later'd show on Tom Penny. A 50 part show at minimum
armin38822 preach!! 2 hours would be great
apparently he's nearly been persuaded to do it
James Latham where’d you hear that?
Lol Kalis only got like 6 I think, he shoulda had 10 or 12, same w Koston.
This man is the epitome of style. Not only his skating and dress, but his attitude. The reason he was so cool is because he never tried to be cool, he just was and everyone recognized it. He truly is a once in a lifetime individual. God put this man on earth to show people what skateboarding is in its purest form. He is an artist, an anomaly, and a poet on wheels. He was the bridge between old school and new school, vert and street, the undisputed 🐐 of skating. Bravo Tom! 👏
Gosh, I love how the intro starts off. The Beach, and the screen says The Legend of Tom Penny.
pre-beanie penny is so smooth.
Still not seen miniramp skating as perfect to this day! The back to back alley-oop ollies are off the scale!
There's never been a better style since Penny
Stitch Waters .. true but a lil bit for twuan dixon u can't forget 2!
3.30 on that mini is a thing of beauty... best ever on a board all time. Essence of style and control.
Tom Penny was the Michael Jordan of skateboarding! The definition of perfection!
BRO THE NARNIA THEME OMGOMGOMGOMG
Soul feeding!
Tom Penny put the soul into skateboarding, he skated for the love and passion. That's why it came so effortless. Most skaters nowadays skate for the fame and money, Tom Penny on the other hand left America to escape that. Skaters nowadays don't care how a trick looks as long as they get it and they can brag about it.
nah most people skate for fun and style is something individual that you really can't control so tom penny was just madly talented
SikNasty Tom only skate for him self yes a true pro
More interesting and enjotable to watch than 99% of any skate videos nowadays.
Watching him skate is like therapy...
The no push line. Fuckin kills it. bow down.
which one?
MrBraaddd at the beginning switch flip switch Ollie switch front side 180 etc
I was lucky enough to live near Radlands when it first opened in 1992 and Penny and the, then, Deathbox team (Rowley, Glifberg) were down there quite a bit. Watching Penny skate was stay with me forever, he was something else, standing out even when amongst a group of America pros in the few international comps they had there.
Tom Penny is the Aphex Twin of skateboarding.
I loved this. Thank you for posting. This guy was an artist. Like the Hosoi of street - just oozes style from every pore. Love that Es ad at the end too when Muska just looks at the camera and shakes his head. Pretty much says it all.
Front side flips should be renamed penny flips
+Rich Beats Fuk that son, tom penny can do them over the lip on vert ramps and on street. reynolds dosent got them like that.
+Rich Beats I had forgotten about Reynolds'. They're solid too, he does them very different, but Penny's fs flips are refined, they're the ultimate.
Reynolds got his frontside flips from Penny...
switch fs flip = penny
fs flip = reynolds
=P
Right on ✊, we just calling it that and it'll probably catch
Why y'all hatin on Reynolds yo, he got love for Penny.
Still the only skater I seen who can skate switch and normal with the same relaxed droppy effortless style !! Im still blown away as I was back in 2001 when I first seen him.
This guy was my idol
Homeboy's switch stance looks just like his regular.
big thanks to you for uploading this video! most of this footage i've never seen before! very inspirational ! miniramp line at 3:30 so sick and so perfect and easy-looking! could watch this every time before go to skate!
7:04 (Radland contest) and 7:41 (Paris glissexpo).... The Best Style...INVINCIBLE!!!
Artax sample over Earth Plates Are Shifting while watching Penny is goosebumps
Sensational! Love penny’s work.
looking at videos of when he was younger ,he just seems to float in the air effortlessly
This is the only vid that hits my asmr receptors
I didn’t realize how much I love Tom Penny
Tom Penny: Style defined
Tom penny the One!
proof that style is everything for me anyway....isnt the most tech doesnt go the biggest doesnt skate the fastest....but its beautiful to watch this guy cruising round doing what today are considered basic tricks.....artistically this guy for me is the best but not the best to others but thats ok some people like davinci some like picasso but they are all different and in different ways just as good and better and less good and everything in between....guy reminds me of bob ross painting hes not picasso or davinci but you just know he loves it and it makes you like his art more
j carr k
seeing him doing tricks thats not in his usual bag is the real gem.
I’ve watched this every day for 10 years religiously and I’m not even kidding....every day and I don’t get sick of it. For some reason all the music fits perfect 👌 favourite skater of all time...style just won’t be matched. Skateboarding 🛹 forever !!!
Back when skateboarding was not mainstream, the good old days.
essence of pure steez
beautiful scenes in order, tom penny made all tricks look so easy.. he blew everybody's mind out in 90's so he is truly the legendary.. if you want to be legendary, go kill 11 tricks down san diego bank in 5 minutes, if you land a kickflip then you have to do switch kickflip on your next attempt, you have to do switch on every trick you land on tricks like tom penny did in this.. so he is the best legendary skater ever even he's ranked over natas kaupas and mark gonzales and the mini-ramp master
Without them he wouldn’t exist though, he’s better unquestionably but it’s the old standing on the shoulders of giants thing
the guy was a pure legend back then the weed helped him big time! he is more chilled out on the sled now brilliant skater of our time :)
the legend continues......
Every time I see tom 🤯🤯🤯
what make tom the ever best is that he did lose focus with his emotion the excitement never blinded him
his airtime makes him look so smooth...
My fav skater coming up along with Koston and the mcbrides.
emotional
5:21
miss that shity sk8 parq !
It's funny cuz he shut that place down. NOBODY filmed there after that session. Truly among the greatest!
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best
I wasn't looking but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like Heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running
But just keep it coming
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Darlin', you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Tom penny is forever
Been a long time since I seen this cat hope he all good now a days
pure gold
Marvin Gaye + Lionel Messi + skateboard= THE PENNEY
Tom Penny and Drake Jones had the smoothest styles in the 90s
He always appears out of the aerher,aether, an apparition and always leaves into fog
The audio of artax dying caught me off guard
+Phil Brickma Haha me too :D
Captain Perineum nice catch, I noticed it as well.
TOM IS LEGEND
this shit puts goosebumps in my entire fucking body
dont fight it
must have been tom that disliked the vid...
This makes me smile.
Jason Lee, Tom Penny, Antuan Dixon...the legacy of effortless skating.
mullen invented em.. tom perfected em. period. best ever!
The closest style Since Tom Penny's that brought that wow factor (for me) is Antwuan Dixon. Not better, just close. Penny's style was incredible. Not replicable (much like Antwuan's)
A GREAT FUCKING STYLE MY FRIENDS !!
Tom Penny is the god of style
The very best to ever do the damn thing!!!!!!
When I think of the essence of street skating I think of Muska and Penny. How did TP get such a super gangster voice?
It figures Tom would kill a backyard bowl too! Legend
apparently tom landed every trick possible over that chain in that 5 minute mark.
Best skater that ever lived
Greatest to ever do it period
He had a shoe board and wheel contract his shoe company was trying to get ahold of him for months like half a year to plan his pro shoe model and he sent in a hiking boot he'd been skating in for the past 6 months beyond ridiculous
Is that the old 3rd Lair at 7:10??? In mpls MN
This is just to awesome to be true!
living in the past..
Haslam is fucking amazing and one of my favorite modern skaters, but it's all about the style and ease of how Penny skated back then. They're two completely different styles of skating. Just look at Tom's 5/0 to front truck tap on the mini ramp, it's just effortless natural talent that no skater since has had. You can't practice that..
thank you! you know. ...you know!
shed a fw tears.. good job
"He frontside flipped Carlsbad in like 3 tries."
Such an awesome video. Penny wasn't the best but nothing he did was forced, he was destined to ride a skateboard.
Whats the name of second song.
YES!!
what is this music? did you make it yourself? its so random with the biggie radio interview, odb singing, the ambient dance music, bob marley. i really like it
tuodekab me to brother, love this tune, who is it?
young empires-earth plates are shifting
ssbsflip into that bank like nothin...
fallingskyline with the daps from that guy! I was dead😂🤣
00:58 , ive been looking for that vid, anyone know what skate vid is from?

Hero.
whats the song called that starts at 8:09?
its called 'on the other side of the sky' by caprice sheridan or something like that. she changed her name though and has a different 'stage' name now. it was from the credits section of the 2pac 4eva DVD, a documentary about tupac and this song i believe was made for it, so the lyrics might make the most sense with that interpretation.
if you master frontside flips and shifty flips you definitly have a chance in skateboarding
haha same man,,,reminds me of the good ol days of skateboarding
Sick!
How is the song with the "Je t'aime" sample called?
Lesson 1 - L'Equipe Du Son
All the little nuances of his casual style make him the embodiment of what pefected skating should look like. Hes a walking example of the legend being bigget than the man. This prolly had to do with hin leaving the country, he wasnt about a pissing contest like that. Dude just wanted to skate, free from expectations

Young Empires - The Earth Plates Are Shifting
4:20 that bs flip is poetry in motion. Wish it was filmed better.
The King of BONGO
It´s almost perfect, only missing that scene of the best trick when hi pass the skateboard inside the windows of the car and jump over it... (High Jump)
Can't disagree with that :) That's the great thing about skateboarding isn't it, every person perceives it so differently and has their own preferences, it's so unique and varied with so many different tricks and styles that no other sport (if you want to call skating a sport) compares!
what are the titles of the songs? anyone?
young empires-earth plates are shifting
Mad style who is this guy?
The best friend of Chad Muska.

I was going to leave a comment about skateboarding but you just said everything I wanted to say
Europe 96' was the car hippie jump...
whats the song from around 2 mins
Aaron Besticles Young Empires - earth plates are shifting.
that music towards the end is awful
mate...if you listen to the whole video without watching it...all the music is pretty corny really...however it seems to fit the footage really well! i watch a lot of the old penny videos, but this has to be one of my favorites and the music works for some reason, even the shit music at the end. And that tune at 2:11 just wouldn't be tolerable if it was someone like Danny way or Nyjah or any one else skating because it would sound kind of gay in my opinion. DJnedKnowledge422 done well.
