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.

Lol Kalis only got like 6 I think, he shoulda had 10 or 12, same w Koston.
Dude is like the Biggie/Bobby Fischer of skateboarding. I heard a story of him in the 90s doing a demo in a warehouse on a mini ramp when the power went out and you couldn't see shit, but everyone could still hear his trucks on the coping, popping and rolling around, and when the power came on, he was mid frontside flip. Legend has it skating with his beanie so low it covered his eyes he got aclimated to skating with limited to no vision.

+Carlo Von Sexron The analogies make sense, I'd go with classical like Vivaldi or Tchaikovsky, cause it's just ultimate skating that will stand the test of time. Balanced, not too little or too much of anything (maybe one too many frondside flips, but come on, his frontside flips are all worth a replay or 10), always perfectly natural, that's a Penny video part.

+Carlo Von Sexron The Michael Jordan of skateboarding you mean!
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! 👏
pre-beanie penny is so smooth.
There's never been a better style since Penny

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!
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.

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.

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.
Tom Penny is the Aphex Twin of skateboarding.
7:04 (Radland contest) and 7:41 (Paris glissexpo).... The Best Style...INVINCIBLE!!!
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 !!!
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!
Homeboy's switch stance looks just like his regular.
Artax sample over Earth Plates Are Shifting while watching Penny is goosebumps
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.
Sensational! Love penny’s work.
looking at videos of when he was younger ,he just seems to float in the air effortlessly
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

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
I didn’t realize how much I love Tom Penny
My fav skater coming up along with Koston and the mcbrides.
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 :)
emotional
the legend continues......
Soul feeding!
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
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
seeing him doing tricks thats not in his usual bag is the real gem.
his airtime makes him look so smooth...
Been a long time since I seen this cat hope he all good now a days
pure gold
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
TOM IS LEGEND
This is just to awesome to be true!
The very best to ever do the damn thing!!!!!!
mullen invented em.. tom perfected em. period. best ever!
thank you! you know. ...you know!
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!
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

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)
He always appears out of the aerher,aether, an apparition and always leaves into fog

Such an awesome video. Penny wasn't the best but nothing he did was forced, he was destined to ride a skateboard.

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..
Jason Lee, Tom Penny, Antuan Dixon...the legacy of effortless skating.
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)

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.
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

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!
I was going to leave a comment about skateboarding but you just said everything I wanted to say
