Why does Jim always look like you owe him 50$
CoolMan Caravan it’s actually closer to $75 bucks. You gotta pay him interest
Mate.. I lol'ed at that comment. Total gold.. 👏🏻👏🏻
Cause you do
Spot on Mr. Christopher Sawyer. You know damn well he is always raising the vig! It was 3 points at the beginning, but a man like Greco would say 5 is what he told you! Hahahahahahaha
He looks about one relapse away from insanity, borderline autistic
Still thinking of this film.
one of the coolest skate videos i've ever seen
this is like watching early jim jarmush flicks...i love it
A Masterpiece
Dude, this was amazing. Also, F for 1:30. I can't imagine how painful it is to skate being in that state
this film is so Fellini, I love it.
this is beautiful.
enjoyed watching this
Absolute beautiful piece of art. Well done my man.
i dont skate but cant help but appreciate this, and eh i like smart shoes, and those greccos were a dope buy
WOW JIM I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
Masterpiece
What a film
Kinda eerie the ambulance rolled by first
Put some respek on jim Grecos name bitch! The one and only Jim Greco the legend and the ultimate badass yo bro I have no words on how happy I feel right now seen Greco and Tom penny in the same video two legends and this video how it was filmed was soo good.
Wow this is really fucking good🍇
4 or 5 years later this is still such a masterpiece
shit slaps so hard now, Penny/Greco dream section is compoundingly legendary
RYT?!?!?!?!
So dope ! Came out a few years ago , love me some Greco lol
Skateboarding and filmaking. In LA with an old Russian, European art film style and a fly on the wall feel. I enjoyed it, different approach then the average skate vid.
Hey
Yeah
isnt he in rome for a chunk
Than
they also shot bit in Rome, Italy, during the dream scene he has in hospital
this skate video is better than 95% of movies that play in theatres
Keep It in the Streets better than Avengers and all that shit for sure
Keep It in the Streets yes.
I enjoyed this more than the rise of Skywalker......This had a more coherent plot lol
Great film... tragically hip
99.9%* if not 100%.
Damn that slam was gnarly!
Seriously!!!
felix lehmann i wanna know too .. that hurt so much to watch
Cringey asf.
Happy he is still able to walk
TheSpaceCoyote82
I like your your twist on the Nightmare franchise tagline.
The billed beanie was invented and Tom Penny was like 'This is it. This is the end for me. It's not getting any better than this'.
Hahaha! 100%
I mean... Practicality wise, it doesn't.

has Tom Penny been wearing the exact same set of clothes since 1994?
Seems like.. but I like it
The Michael Jordan of skating
He is always the worst dressed
Boot cut denims and tall ts
as a 50 year old man
Yep. No phone no bank account 4 or 5 sets of matching clothes and a board according to lizard in the latest/last mag.
He believe he's stylish. But actually he's not, he's never been...

This film made me shed a tear. I was the biggest fan of the Piss Drunx 18 years ago. I would watch Baker2G then go skate every single day in the streets of LA trying to be just like him. Best moments of my life that I can ever remember. I recently decided to start skating again at age 32 and seeing Greco doing it in his 40s really gives me more of a drive to go ahead and do it. God Bless you Jim Greco. You are the man, a legend, and a genius. Beautiful work. Straight up masterpiece. PD for life ✊
Dude, I picked up a skateboard at 44. Trust me - I still have fun. Instead of feeling nearly dead , I feel fucking alive. Taking a breath in between work, family, and piles of shit that fill your adult life everyday.
Just turned 31 started skateboarding again after 11 years
This should be the top comment, not all the crap above
I'm 39 and i would like to skate every day...unfortunately the time is short, the skills and even the bones are no longer the same ;)
Angel,,Dude not to sounf corny af but im so proud of you stranger... You did what i did and you did it 5 years before me..
I starter skating again when my 5 year old daughter was at her friends house and she had a bigger brothe rwho was like 8 or 9 years old and i saved his board and skated it back to him and he started smack talking me and my daughter said "my dad can kickflip"
i was like "shut up honey ;D)" SO i tried it (in the hard grass like a btch) and LANDED IT.. Super sketch but whatevs, it was almost 20 years..
I stopped in 1994 when i was like 18 or 19... Well that was about 7 years ago & now i skate almost every other day.
*I over shared hoping you would give me your similar Angel.
**At my age im more curb dancing & Manny Curb stuff. No stairs at all. that summer i 1st returned i went to my local skatepark and sessioned with these two kids for 2 hours trying to land simple tre flip and when i finally got it the 1st turn afte rthe kid in front of me did it was a hellova moment for me. But i regret that i didn't perfect em and they arent part of my skating at all. But that moment fealt great..
*My favorite part has to be watching older vids to get psyched to for pre session & buying older gear from ebay like eS Ronnie Creager or Old 2005 era Kostons and old powell decks..
**Angel,,Those older Powell decks from the late 1980's up till 1996'ish were made with special wood. i learne3d this when i got ahold of a Chris Senn deck anfd a Ray Underhill deck and it was so noticable how strong the board was. How much control i had. That waw the moment i went from Popsicle to football shaped..... Damn,,i just got psyched with these mems... hope i hear from ya homie.
You did real good with this one. It has a lucid dream feel to it, without trying to hard. It makes me more than want to skate... it makes me want to live.
YES.
so live bro
Pure FACTS. 💯
Seeing Mr Tom Penny skate along side Jim "the hammer" Greco was a great!
Absolutely man, that scene had me thinking the same way 🙏
Seemed like it was a continuation or maybe a play on flip sorry video where Arto smacks his dome and has a vision of skating with penny. Probably just paying homage

Not gonna lie but i feel like watching an oscar winning film from the 70s and i love it.
Or Vincent gallo in Buffalo 66
Shot on film makes it looks just classic and amazing. And of course the shots. But film look plays a big role of t.
yeah - that was my fist thought. it's got so much atmosphere - can't stop watching it
LA has this way of becoming you and vice versa
Notice when he nods out in the ER he appears in a dream with Tom Penny, just like in Artos part in "Sorry." (mind blown)
Corey Sheaffer And the song is a Nico song, which is probably a nod to the Velvet Underground song used in the Sorry dream
Holy shit this comment is so underrated
Yes! My favorite fuckin part! Actually the whole thing was my favorite part. So fuckin inspiring. We’re all the same!
Every pro skater dreams of Tom Penny when they’re hurt. Everyone knows that.
Arto..arto..wake up lets go skate.
Thats funny how we all basically have the same dream of penny.🙏🍄what a legend.
face: mafioso
clothing: mafioso
car: gangsta
This is what I call a masterpiece. Not only does it amuses me but also it makes me feel so proud and unique for belonging to a lifestyle called skateboarding. This is hands down the deepest and the most artistic skate film I've ever watched.
Well said!
Felipe di Oliveira all true but it’s a little depressing too. Which I love so much lol
Felipe di Oliveira it’s kinda sad but cool? Jobs? Never!!! But skating is his job and at one point he won’t be able to do it. As skaters we fuck our bodies up for fun I got some permanent wrist damage and I’m only 26
@@gokermitsewerside358 I think for Greco, skateboarding is just one of the multiple ways he lives his life without thinking about the future / consequences. I'm thinking for example about his heroin addiction. His character is a spectacle. Sho knows what will happen after his career? Maybe ride a home made boat in the sea and almost die like Heat Kirchart? I admire him but I am not going to care more than he does. (btw I don't know him personnally and I might very well be completely wrong)
@@nocopsformilesofficial945 Dude, these depressing stuff are so appealing and so sadly beautiful at the same time!!
The shots of you and Tom just skating together and chilling reminds me of hanging with my best friend. What a film.

PONYBOYonline underrated comment
Why not Tom and Jim?
the cinematography tho....
asdfgh so just like your comment
@@Hoodinator17 your dim
cappucino108 prime comeback lol
Cinematography?? Lol this was boring. Kid probably never watched old Alien videos...
Michael R There is a difference between a skate video and a film. I can see how it could be boring, but this is definitely an artsy approach to skateboarding. I just really enjoyed the calmness and beauty of the skating.
Whoa what a film. Hits right in the feels, I wonder if younger kids are feeling this.
CanadianEh! well i don’t know how my peers feel about this but i loved this film. absolutely marvelous and riveting
Feeling this
absolutely
not sure why but in a covid 19 world, being all cooped up, watching this for some reason. very very good, thank you for the art!
same feeling
same
feel you
This video just made the world pause for me, I also feel like that when I’m skating it’s just a pause of happiness and joy
Ouch!!!! Watching that slow motion bail was horrible. Dude is gnarly that he drove himself to the hospital after that.
(Also the ambulance was foreshadowing his trip to the hospital.)
The hospital area looks like the hq in gtaV
Haha i was thinking the same thing
you know gta V is based on LA
BlownFuse i swear people don’t this....
Loved it. Thanks, Jim.
yeah!!!
I love how his girl is watching “ The Deer Hunter” in the background. The way that film is shot is a lot like the way Greco made this video look. Same camera shots and angles.
Pretty cool I thought at least.
glad you noticed it. its my favorite movie of all time
NickLintner Easily one of my favorites also. Such a classic...
That was an excellent catch!
Storage -SPACE?! Oh dude I was raised watching those classics. I’m 44 so those movies like this, Taxi Driver, etc...Mean Streets! These were my dads era films, and I loved them once I was allowed to see them! LOL.
How can you not know these lines word for word!?!? 😂😂. It’s perfect for this video to. Greco nailed this. Seriously, the dudes an artist, on so many levels.
Cynthia Rogers you said! Oh man Taxi driver! Classic! They don’t make movies like that anymore that’s for sure! I am close at 37 still skating but god damn! No where near this level!
Tom Penny only appears in dreams...
Thank you for this!
This is like the pulp fiction of skateboard films
Joshua Andersen Major anttention seeker hipster. Are you the culture police?
Joshua Andersen stfu dude. comparing it to pulp fiction is just his way of saying "it's really good!" you don't have to be a fking film nazi
The chick on the couch reminded me of Fabienne. Lol
@@peppylafew116 wow u must be able to see so far way up high in your horse like that, please tell the rest of us peons what the view is like up there!
I think its more like the reservoir dogs of skateboarding.
Love you, Greco! Born in 89, turning 30 this year, and I’ve been a fan my whole life. Thank you for this amazing video!
Haunting & miserable feeling!...just the way I like my Indie short films!👏👏
Absolutootley! It’s beautiful .
Man, Greco and Penny still shredding. If only they added Heath as a surprised guest. Sick film anyways.
a cameo with Kirchart that would be awesome
Unlike these two, Heath is still actually really good. Dude is around 40 and still skates like he's 28. Tom and Greco on the other hand....sorry but it's boring to watch nowadays. Especially Tom Penny. Dude was sick af in the 90s but now all we ever see him do is a few basic tricks just fooling around...as if he doesn't really skate anymore but steps back on the board every now and then. Maybe he skates all the time still, I don't know but it doesn't look like it to me. His skating reminds me of myself when I was working 7 days a week for almost a year and then got back on the board months later.
Heath and Kline one more time
@@TheRickyp83 Penny left his mark. Leave it at that, He ain't a jock skater like most now days.
Feels like I'm going that direction where age catching up. Can't skate with friends like before, often skate alone.
Same we don’t even skate that often no more and I can’t skate alone It feels weird to me
Yeah feels weird. Sometimes I'm asking myself why do I still skate but whenever I'm in front of a small table, I imagine myself doing slides or manuals then I found myself late at night skating and singing alone again, naturally.
Feel you bro
I skate for 20 mins, fall get hurt, fuck
It’s about you and the board and conquering whatever trick you’re doing mad. Late night skatepark sessions alone are the best. Just you and the board
He's a real legend.. Too bad not every one sees it how gnarly he is
800000 people is alot 😂
It’s not genius, it’s a copy of the mood of what is genius-in Italo american cinema. Greco escapes the present by transformation: in decor, props clothing (something he always did). Architecture becomes a source of fun and visual storyteller. I find it a brave film and hope Greco keeps doing these, building himself a new universe inside the broad imagery of skateboarding-finding his own artistic language.
dawg pass that blunt lol
reminds me so much of Vincent Gallo’s work. Love it nonetheless.
slam was brutal. Wasn't expecting the living room scene either, last montage was heavy too! now to go back and watch the first two again.
Even pros dream of skating with Tom Penny...
I slept on this one. Very good.
Fuck off Dale Dickhead HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Lol these replies
In case anyone was wondering, you can pick up Greco's shoes at your local bowling alley
Shoot, I'd rock them.
Hahaha
Jesus Christ, he's lucky to still be walking
Jim and Tom skating the city, priceless
Jim Greco is insane, nearly destroying his body so you know when hes older itll DEFINITELY catch up to him, would be incredible if it didnt. One day we're all gonna look back at this and know damn well this wild ass fellow was killing shit.
Edit: this guy is old enough to be my dad, my own dad can’t even push himself like this 😂 incredible
the Paris, Texas of skate films
Paris, Texas sucked ass
paris texas is some gas but this is more inside llewyn davis or wings of desire, possibly daddy longlegs aesthetically imo
@@bakedizzle24 wings of desire is the true transcendence
I mean I know it’s supposed to be, but this was fucking beautiful.
weerrd!
Greco is the epitome of what it is to be an artist. This piece was incredibly refreshing, eerie, and something the skateboarding community lacks. Wish it was an hour
Exactly. Skateboarding is a form of art, expressing yourself. You don't need a million tricks to leave someone in awe. Just those shots of him skating in the apartment was far more visually pleasing than someone getting down on El Toro.
This video reminds me of how much i hate my job and how good this guy is.
Definitely enjoyed this one! Really inspiring, makes me want to go skate and film a movie myself.
@asdfgh
Take your ignorance somewhere else.
Same goes to other moronic trolls in the comments, who antagonize certain iconic skaters; who’ve been through a lot, in their careers.
asdfgh he isn't doing this for you anyway. These are passion projects. Thankfully we get to enjoy them
@@Hoodinator17 I don't think he would give 2 shits about staying relevant. He's all about skating for fulfillment and joy. Watch his interviews and it'll become clear.
asdfgh "well that's like your opinion man".. I saw the little plug there but it was tasteful. But to each his own
This is a beautiful piece of work . This gave me chills thinking about the era they came up in
That slam was absolutely horrible and I hope that real serious damage to his lower back isn't done.
On the flip side, Penny's backside kickflip at 6:19 was absolutely beautiful. Penny footy is ALWAYS appreciated. Greco's switch 50 back 3 out was sick.
Greco's backside 360 north nose grab was A PIECE OF ART beautiful trick
Matthew Porter-mendez definitely can expect serious damage..
Man feel from over 4ft height directly onto his lower spine... oh yeah...it'll be hurting forever.
Lots of PT and chiropractors will help him but it's expensive. Though I'm sure he's better a money management considering he's still in the industry like this
the part where Greco and Penny are skating together makes me so nostalgic
do not let this short film distract you from the fact that jim greco DOES NOT RESPECT WOOD (10:22).
OK WE GOT A REAL ONE IN THE HOUSE
Lol cause he didn't use coasters. Damn mom get off youtube
@@LateBloomerMedia Or you just need to watch "Curb your Enthusiasm" Joel.
Papa Jim coming out with yet another great film. What an icon.
Broke up with my girl 3 days ago, and today was the first time I cried about it while watching this video. You’re a madman Greco
so fucking boring
Seriously, I know your suffering..... And... I know it's hard but put your mind on what really matters and just skate a lot. It helps. :)
Piero Suarez thank you my man :) but noted for sure
Be strong. Life goes on. Cheers
Yeah, oddly moody for a skate film. Found myself feeling sentimental for some reason. Maybe the Nico.
Watching this on my lunch break. The irony doesn't escape me.
Anyone remember Jim’s neck tat?
pomai Carpenter shit was awful , whoever erased that shit did wonders
i thnk he lasered a lot of shit off
pomai Carpenter holy shit I forgot about that
dude, he had a buncha neck tats, including what appeared to be a toddler's rendition of a crown
theres a comment about his neck tat on every vid jeez
For some reason I was thoroughly entertained with that video..
I think that was their intention in making the thing lol
@@undisclosedsteve6361 well then they intended correctly
i love films like this! the house skating was gnarly. id love to live somewhere i could skate in. Greco still rules. and the music to i loved it.
Mean Bird LMAOOOOOO
Mean Bird you re the reason the world is a shit place hahaha
I don’t think anyone has commented this yet but; the film playing on the tv in Jim’s apartment is The Deer Hunter, a great film which was John Cazale’s last film & also stars Robert DeNiro & Christopher Walken. I highly recommend it if you’re a film buff
The color grading in this joint is so on-point. Loved this for the skating, but especially the cinematic styling.
Jim greco is dylan rieder’s dad
and that would be fucked up, because dylan past away.
Dylan Reider was a better person Greco is a kook
g0stface23 fuck you, you’re poser
Bruh i said the same
@@kevinardya9695 you ugly flip just because I dont pist videos on you tube I dont skate? Hope you meet him one day so you can see what I mean.
penny looks like 2002 and rides like 2002
=)
great to see that
Cool
I’ve waited 4 days for this
Golfwang_zion were you pleased with it?
Wife A TRON of course it was fucking awesome
asdfgh Why don't you fuck off dork
we used to have to wait years
asdfgh Shut the fuck up it seems like you're trying to stay relevant in this comment thread
jim greco going to the emergency room like it's the grocery store.
is that jim greco's mailorder bride?
Glorious and weirdly depressing all in one - and where has Jim's neck piece gone!?
He got a lot of his tattoos removed
@@ERich950 why though
Shooting on film, and paying homage to John Cassavetes in 2018... Damn. Just beautiful.
20:41 what a great shot. Great fucking film Greco. Good music great eye . Spot on color palette. Chose great environments that didnt take away from the vintage vibe I felt he was going for. A complete pleasure. Thanks Jim and tom u guys killed it.

Jim Greco has that godfather kinda steez.
in some parts I thought I was watching Taxi Driver
That's funny. For a minute I was thinking about a Jim Jarmusch film in color.
Fs 360 Ollie north tail grab like DAMN!
That shit was bs though :D
Not “north” it’s called one foot
Oh my god, I adored this so much. Nico and Iggy... THESE are the kind of skateboarder's who I love. They listen to the right music and have that style. Glad originals like Greco are still around. What a moving treat this is/was. Thank you Jim and Thrasher.
Jim Greco should have produced mid 90s instead of Jonah hill. Don’t @ me fam😤💪
Don’t @ the man dammit🤨
@@Hoodinator17 why are u in every reply section nobody values your opinion
asdfgh sweetie, are you okay? Is this personal? You are everywhere with the same fucking shit.
asdfgh did Jim fuck you and never call you back or some shit? Why you so salty bihh?
Classic jimmy Greco style of filming. This guy is like The Prince of skateboarding!!!! Hammers for days too
asdfgh So it’s better to just not do anything? Get busy living or get busy dying man. Greco seems to have made his choice.
@@Hoodinator17 at least change up your comment if you're gonna say the same thing over and over again dude

asdfgh the struggle for relevance featuring edgy comments and an social isolated loser
Jim Deniro taking lumps off that cadillac
I've truly enjoy the fact that, Jim Greco makes me feel like he positively does not give a shit about what I think.
This video is sick and I had no idea Tom Penny was in it. Legend.
I don't know about you guys but all I thought about the entire film was that brutal slam at the beginning. Maybe it was the slow mo, I dunno but when he hit the curb I felt pain myself just watching.

Oddly sad, inspirational, and beautiful. Great piece of art
This is honestly one of the greatest films I've seen in years. The last time I've experienced a mind be portrayed on film with as much honesty is when I watched "Un chien Andalou" . Once in a blue moon, magic meets celluloid. The blue moon shines tonight. You, my dear James, are a genius. My life changed in 22.35 minutes.
I like when he skateboards inside his house with that girl on the sofa watching TV hahah.
Nice movie - I like that oldies style. It's like the 80's style and I like it.
Congratz Jim Greco!!
ys
Man this video just makes me want to skate
Same
It made me wanna take a good care of my babies ankles
Same but I only have dress shoes and running shoes and work boots now): but I still have my death wish tattoo so I’ll always be a skater at heart.
Thank you jim, this film was tremendous, one of my favorite legends and always inspired!
Great soundtrack, deer hunter fits in perfect somehow.
I've never skated in my life, but now I feel as though I should. Beautifully put together
don't do this then, mate.
You should
Greco Will go down as a legend in my book
