Had to watch just for Tom penny and then he’s like I’m from pgh and I’m like oh shit same. Please post all penny footage you have, I could watch him just skate a curb all day! Thank you for this
I don't skate anymore, skated for 17 years, I saw Tom in 2003. in Dortmund at Monster mastership world championship. He skated up the big four stair euro gap noliie big spin revert and nollie fs big spin revert.. he was on the course and kids were yelling asking can he sign the shirt and he came over and signed it, I was close up behind the rail and had some shirt and looked down he looked up and waited will I throw it too but I didn't cause I thought I won't catch it first try not to hold him on that throwing shirt back.. I always regret that.. chilled with some pros outside but never spoke with Tom. I see lot of guys here saying don't skate anymore but come to see Tom skate on this clip or whereever.. same ... I older I get I just check out any Tom Penny footage and makes me happy again same as when I was skating.. Don't know him personally but your skating is like artists or composer's work, you made happy a lot of people and gave motivation. Wish you all the best where ever you are. Now I have a kid and seeing me watching Tom's skating he knows who's Tom and said he would like to meet him. Thanks for all the skating and Amrit man thanks for this video SK8 4 life homie))
Who are the ladies at 5:23 ?? Is that his wife?? Do they understand that he's the most important skater in history other than Rodney Mullen??? So trippy. I can't believe this footage is 10 years old. The crazy thing is he is skating just as strong now as he was then!!
Amrit explains who the green shirt lady is. She brought him to Barcelona from Copenhagen bcz he hadn't skated in a while and she recognized Amrit from California
I only saw Penny once. He was with the Flip team then, at the Santa Rosa skatepark in CA. He aired out of the small bowl and over the park’s chain linked fence. Then he disappeared to smoke. Must’ve been mid 90s I wanna say. Tony Trujillo was there too, he was just one of the grom regulars back then though.
@@hotscum6970 most of the people talk about him like a mythical creature, or how legendary he is, or how independently he lives his life. But Even some pro skaters are “afraid” of him. I don’t know I might not be right but introverted superstar icons are usually not humble and not easily approachable.
Tom's the best, you guys are rad. That's your buddy? Lucky dude, he's friends with Tom Penny now. Lived with Guy mariano?! This dudes living the life we all want. Tom filmed half a part in a day basically and didn't skate for awhile before then wtf?! Best dude ever.
Great video not a skater ( a writer) but whilst doing 6yrs thrasher was the only magazine i could read that had some graff in it , road trips , insights on an underground subculture Etc ..was really a blessing at that time. Ill always remember an interview with someone (a death wish rider i think)who had met up with tom somewhere abroad and was explaining how he was always travelling had no bank account etc and seemed like a true free spirit ( what kinda pissed me off was the interviewers condescending tone about his lifestyle ) anyway i can see in tom someone who is totally passionate about his skating where money means nothing... A rare thing in pro skating i think...Anyway rant over😂 Just stoked i can watch UA-cam again haha
Thanks for sharing! I believe, vehemently, that many adults who get stuck in the 9-5 grind and the slavery of paying the interest on their mortgage (let alone the principal) have a cognitively difficult time when they come across someone like Tom who goes about life in the diametrically opposed way as you emphasised. Such condescension comes from a place of judgement and an unwillingness to accept that another person's way of life is valid. It often comes from a place of deep insecurity and possible regret.
Tom is so sick. Legend. But if I'm honest with myself that 4xl white T under a regular sized T looks kooky af 😆... this experience is priceless though man. I can't imagine how stoked dude was that day.
I remember comments trashing the Sheffey flip, like Tom lost his pop, even tho the next trick he switch shuv's waist high. I hope all those commenters see this video
Yeah thx 4 sharing, good Penny spot in the wild. Saw him 3x myself, one 25+ years ago at my local park, he was trying 540's on vert. And twice on Blaak in R'dam, coulda said high the second time but still 2 much in aw :)
the original stuff like the frontside flip into tranny just casually on a miniramp blew me away as a kid. made me wanna be a skater 20 years ago. yuh kno!
Reminds me of Mike Caroll in 4star super champion funzone having the game of skate indoors with some local, and Mike was fking around doing no pop flip tricks. Fun. Intentional.
Lately, whenever I get drunk and stoned I watch skateboarding videos. I haven't skated properly since 2018... :( Holy moly... 6yrs have gone by like that... I need to get back on the board and skate! I can say with 100% certainty that my life was better when I was actively involved in skateboarding. Those are my peeps, feel what I'm sayin'?
If u got no respect for Tom Penny u know nothing about the evolution of street skating..one of d only few skaters ahead of his time in d 90s..cheers tom! Cheers idabble!
"What a difference a day makes" , Penny footage is like Christmas for a kid.
Right? That quote is soooo good.
Better. Penny is real, Santa isn’t 😂
@@louielouielouee and red looks better on Penny 😂
@@Dabblevideomag damn son, you are a lucky penny forsure :-)
Anyone who skated in the 90s or early 2000s could watch Penny skate all day long
Facts
So great. Penny is one of those enigmas in skateboarding. In my top 5 easily
🧙♀️
Had to watch just for Tom penny and then he’s like I’m from pgh and I’m like oh shit same. Please post all penny footage you have, I could watch him just skate a curb all day! Thank you for this
Yezzir! Much love!
Tom Penny's clothing style has been the same so long, that now it s back in style .
Damn that little wallride line was so sick. Long live Penny.
The man, the myth, the legend!!
Everyone in skateboarding has heard of Tom but it feels like we know very little about him.
Kinda adds to the legend though!
The GOAT. So glad Amrit was there for this
day and all the other ones. 🤓🙏
Amrit is also a goat! Couple goats hangin out
So awesome! Love this. Penny is the GOAT
True 🐐
Hard Times But Good Times...one of the best skate videos ever...friends section is beautiful.

Dream #1 as a videomaker:
- Live in Barcelona for a couple of months to film
Dream #2 as a videomaker:
- Film Tom Penny skating in Barcelona
Right?! Dreams
Tbh don't know much bout skating but this makes me want to, cheers!
Hes been inspiring people like that forever!
I feel like it’s overlooked that Penny is so kind and humble. He is good to be around cause he always has good vibes and is “blessed”.
It’s not overlooked. Everyone understands this about him. What’re you talking about?
@@hotscum6970 most of the people talk about him like a mythical creature, or how legendary he is, or how independently he lives his life.

Penny is a legend!
The most legendary
Tom is as close to a diety in real life that we are going to get. 🙏
I watched Tom’s Menikmati part everyday before I went out to skate. He’s the J Dilla of skateboarding to me.
This was amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing. Long live the God. Tom Penny forever !!! He’s my generation’s GONZ.
Tom is the GOAT!
hes like 2 goats. haha
the original stuff like the frontside flip into tranny just casually on a miniramp blew me away as a kid. made me wanna be a skater 20 years ago. yuh kno!
Extremely relatable
Skateboard ICON
Hello Tom.
That's so sick about the "sheffey flip" I've always wondered if he intentionally no popped those kickflips/ switch flips
Reminds me of Mike Caroll in 4star super champion funzone having the game of skate indoors with some local, and Mike was fking around doing no pop flip tricks. Fun. Intentional.
This was rad😎
Appreciate you! 🙌🏽

Sheffey flip is my fav story
right? so many stories in this story
penny is the truth
🛹that part was magik!!!!!!!!!!!
He'a like Hendrix, Odb or Bob Marley to me. One of the few.
That shifty kickflip!
Your favourite skater’s favourite skater
True statement
All I can say is ' lucky ' in my best napoleon dynamite voice.
🤣
I would give anything to Nollie cab like Tom Penny
right?!
Penny has always been my favorite too, and I’m also 38 lol
hes the best
Tom lookin like Johnny Sins with long hair at 1:44 lmao
Hahaha
damn
The Gandalf of Skateboarding.
Oh so the caretaker girlfriend was not just a rumour
What you mean by that?
@@txbiii1582 Tom's girlfriend helps him out with different stuff since Tom is a bit out off it.
@@full6330name thats what my girl does for me too 👍🏻
