Lets all be honest, this is really the one BFFS we have been waiting for.

This series was something special, ending it with Tom Penny was a great idea.

He has amazing board control, love to watch him skate

The footage of the fakie hardflip session at le dome is just amazing. And the bs flip and switch tre he does in the Adidas Superstars are absolutely perfect. Merci Fred!

Fred what are you doing just putting this footage on here? Take all this footage of old flip days, get some interviews in order and make a documentary about this time in skateboarding and flip. Talk about them coming to the states, how popular the sorry videos were, Arto's injuries, Tom being over it and going off the radar, what they did to Bastien, what happened with Ali and Shane, Mark leaving, etc. This era of flip was when I was most into skateboarding and would love to see a behind the scenes of what went really happened to one of my favorite skate teams of all time. I mean you already have the footage you just need the interviews.

Fred's unique filming and the whole teams style was just the best.

Tom was lookin too chill on the fake manual...I was like damn

This is the best shit I've seen in years. All hail Penny!

Thanks for all 2-3 years of those magnificient parts. Definately best raw parts ever seen in skateboarding. Always in my mind and in skateboarding history.

This was/is AWESOME. So much unseen Penny footy. For all you youngin's...Penny footage in the 90's was coveted by ALL. There really wasn't a shit load of footage, but when you saw any Penny clip, it was JAW DROPPING. Everybody loves Penny's style.His Flip industry section (411) His ATM Click friends section, Etnies High 5 (his most famous part of all time) His 411 part (like the first or second 411 vm part) was just legendary. There really isn't anyone this day and age where you see footy of him/her and are just blown away by the trick/style/and effortless look. When Penny was on film (or if you were lucky enough to see him in real life) you sat your ass down and watched wishing you could be like that on a board.

it's really too bad, seeing this kind of makes me sad. I feel like this is the last good footage from Tom Penny. He was at his prime here and he had so much potential, and yet there was just so much drinking and drugs involved. Seems to me they were all having a good time, but also he seems a bit lost and trying to find a way and a place between all the madness. Imagine what we could have seen more from him... We all know how tragically it all wen't down, just I wished Tom Penny recovered from this all and found a better place to be in. Hope he is well.

I don't think we would ever see that smoothnes and gnar he had in the 90's if he had a different mind. He's a bit out there. In his own world. Honestly you can see it in his eyes. You shouldn't be doing frontside flips over handrails down a huge set of stairs while being that calm. As if he's not even there. Is one thing to do it now,but back then he was breaking new ground. And to still be that chill....He's different. In the 90's he was pushing the limits but later on he continued being what a real skater is to me. Somebody who just skates. He didn't care about anything. He just skated for the fun of it.

Smooth..

3:39, the Ollie no angle correction slide down to flat was in the words of Mark Suciu " tasteful" The choice to do it that way makes this line that much better Edit, this footage seems to be the last batch of penny footage where 1. Is closet to pre hiatus classic penny style and 2. Before you could tell his age like the rings of a tree with how little by little his pants size added a layer of baggy year after year, it would be fascinating to do a geological study on his pants and make a topological map
