Old Tom Penny Footage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Monday's Firing Line with Tom Penny inspired P-Stone to look through our archive of tapes, where he found an old DV with some random stuff probably filmed by Theo Hand. You might remember some of the clips from our Skate And Destroy VHS video. Enjoy...
The second nollie tailslide he does -- that opens with the 360 flip -- was really sick. Top-notch.
That nollie backside tail came out of nowhere.
"Hey get down! Five-O, Five-O!" Tom like the warrior he is says, "Wait, let me get one last switch hardflip." We all know the location inspired in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater where the hidden tape is at on the school level.
he probably didn't hear them say "5-0"
no this is when skatebarding was at its best....im 34 and still this is what and how i will always remember skateboarding........
YES
Early 90s development and experimentation and perfecting and refinement, so by mid 90s it was the final product. It was privilege being that generation. Part of something that was being created. And I got to skate with some of the best skaters in the world. Best times
this is great. every old footage of penny is appreciated!
That rooftop switch hardflip....
Yup👌
So effortless...
that first kickflip was pure joy... classic penny style. the guy was so ahead of his time, doing the most stylish switch flips (over 10stair handrails) before style even exested, while everyone else was still doing pressure flips.
just noticed he had his back foot, on the first Tre flip, not in the pocket of the tail...thats some powerfull scoop!
Holy shit I just saw some penny footage I haven’t seen before, well done my friend, he was way way way ahead of his time.
That casual nollie backside tail on rail and switch hardflip on roof were sick. Love seeing some old footage!
Tom Penny is the greatest person to ever ride a skateboard, hes so genuine. A true artist and genius in every aspect of the word. If Anything Tom penny has reached so many lives that it goes beyond skateboarding and money and all that. Hes just the greatest dude on planet earth period, the master mind , the don , end of....... true Genius
I remember getting this video back in the day (Thrasher “Skate and Destroy”) and being new to skateboarding and I watched the whole thing but this guys tricks and style just stuck out of the whole thing for me. I had no idea who he was but I became an instant fan of tom penny.
If you look up steeze in a dictionary there is no definition just the picture of Tom Penny
LOL
the reason they uploaded this is cause of the firing line.
people were mad hating on it, not really knowing who tom penny was and what legacy he left on skateboarding. im glad they uploaded this.
Tom Penny is the man... he has never jumped on bandwagons and changed his style...people can hate all they want but,st8 up.... He's OG!!!!!!
If you skate and you don't like tom penny you don't get it.
I'm a skateboard and I get Tom Penny.
Flip decks had such a nice sounding pop. Especially with the hard wheels tom skated. Its crisp
best style ever! Penny is a legend, thanks for sharing these videos thrasher, cheers from o side.............
He may not have the infinite bag of tricks like the kids these days, but what he does have is one of the greatest styles ever. He makes you want to go skate. This is skateboarding, take note kids. Lol!
If you watch closely you can see tom kick flips into the bank in the beginning of the roof line.... so wish the cameraman picked that up better
mr penny skating literally like a walk in the park.natural style allways wins.
Tom Penny (born April 13, 1977) is a professional skateboarder from Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England. He is well known in the skateboarding community for his calm style and natural abilities and as a master of frontside flips and many kickflip variations. He is also known as one of the few talents to avoid the trappings of skateboarding fame.
legend.
that was a nice blast from the past.. i LOVE that era...
I dont care if this is old. its still a gem to me!!!
Tom Penny = Class
Damn dude, thank P-stone for making my day complete!
i love this era.. tom was far ahead of everyone..
I like watching old Penny footage and the fact that he was one of the first few British skaters to make the breakthrough into the US scene, I love that Transworld footage with the chain to bank, epic, in fact I'm gonna do a search for it right now.
so chill, just timeless
tom penny and marc johnson my favorite skaters
same here those two are my favorite and also Ronnie creager just saying
at the end of the clip is the school from the first tony hawk game(you spawned on top of that blue awning.
that switch hardflip was sick!
Best Tre`s ever... It`s like he floats every trick...
I still have this tape.
Thrasher skate and destroy. Big east coast park. Street musicians soundtrack. pretty interesting. Good boston part.
skate and destroy was such a good video
skateboarding has progressed a lot
i straight up just came my pants dude. just watching tom penny skate on film let alone in person is a blessing , penny for god!!!!
God is here--------------
Tom penny is a close second for me---------------
Legendary
BIG PANTS SMALL WHEELS!
that roof spot looks so fun to skate!
0:51... "i like the bird(s)" -rog. foreal tho, this is what they need to be looping on the nine club! legendary stuff...
i wish skateboarding was still like this
this is so much better than his firing line
1:37 that 2nd nollie back tail was steez sauce.
i love the zoom with the fisheye/ wide angle O_O
I wish my push looked as sick as his.
back in the day countless skaters (including me) tried to emulate tht push, beanie pulled into the face like him. Was so funny. Nostalgia. Was good times.
The realest skateboarder there is!
last clip where filmed at the school track in the tony hawk pro skater 1 ....
that roof spot was in tony hawks proskate one!!...right? lol
That tre at 1:37 ?
Fuckin bananas. Shits practically vertical.
Honestly nicest style then and stilll now... Tom Penny all day erry day
just so you know, this was the school from THPS1.......i remember watching this and the game like...woah, kinda like....remember watching spots in videos i saw in the games....epic child hood moments.
his tre flips are insane!
Tom penny great time to be skating like that roof stuff really looks made to skate
Hey it wouldn't be easy to be pro back then because the only way skateboarding has progressed is that people figured out different techniques and ways to make tricks easier and better, back then, you wouldn't have had a million trick tip videos and the Internet to watch online skate vids. In the 90s your skills would be equivalent to how they are now. Show some repect for people who paved the way
@shandelear why, its a great song, and explains how times change and people change too....helps you become more open minded and accepting new ways instead of complaining about them....please go listen to the songs, youll thank me after..
makes me wanna go home and watch my VHS of Etnies High-5!
damnnnn
Even P Rod is star struck when he sees Tom Penny, don't believe me check Mikey days in Barcelona.
9 people watched this in their Nike's and are confused about why the video doesn't have Ryan Sheckler or the X Games in it.
the most high
That last spot looked very similar to the school level from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
Whoa, dude. Mind blown. Isnt wild how a famous skateboard spot could just end up in a video game about skateboarding??
Those 6 people who disliked this video must be longboarders.
SO SICK.... I'm going skating.
@DuppyBruh exactly, if a cop, or land owner etc asks me to leave then i will, because it's not worth the trouble. my point in the first place was that the cop in the footage is easy on them, and it would be a totally different story in my town
The man 🤙🏿
Legendary.
Why does this skate video not have Ryan Sheckler or the X-Games in it?
Haha! You said EXACTLY what I was thinking! Hell yeah
GOLD!
This video doesn't feature Ryan Scheckler or the X Games. I'm confused.
@chiefmachine24 Didn't that come out in '09?
Great pop
i fucking love this video and sound quality more than the new shit.
Camera man follows this dude around like it's his job.
🤣🤣🤣
@eepnoid honestly i think his style is better than most today
sick, 1:58 is one of the spots from tony hawk pro skater 2 .
Classic penny and cherry park dope as fuck
First tre flip was SUPER BOSS!!!
waiting for the baggy pants vs skinny pants comment...oh there it is
@mstansbery who's Tom Petty?
Por que no puedo ver el Ryan Sheckler? Y donde son los X Games?
he gets the stairs all three in one of the thrasher videos..
@eepnoid great comment, it really puts everything in perspective :D
Had no idea Penny skated Long Beach this much O_O.
@FallbackKiddd Penny Is One Of Reynolds Favourite Skaters, He's Said In Neumerous Interviews What An Inspiration He Was And Is To His Skateboarding.
adios amigos
@eepnoid That's a clever remark, i like it.
@SixArmedSquid thakyou very much sir.
@SixArmedSquid why does it matter how he dresses or how long his shirt is? its skateboarding. not amerca's next top model.
LIKE A BOSS!
Almost 800 video!!
@pandacrunch dude, just because we didn't like his firing line doesn't mean we don't like him. It was a disappointment to see mostly flatground tricks with all the anticipation it built up from having a trailer. That is all
@rootskajah why ??
1 person is obviously a roller blader
C'st beau et ça le restera, un point c'est tout.
@87andrelee you know what, you're right it sure does
so sickkkk
*please do the rail, please do the rail, please do the rail... YEEESS!*
