what?! who is that 1 dislike??? are you serious?? give me 10 names who did switch fs flip two sets of 4 and 3 stairs.. do you ever wonder switch fs flip carlsbad gap is impossible since you don't see anybody did that? tom penny did that and it was back in early 90's when he came to america the first time and hey, this video was in early 90's.. nowaday, many people can't do what he did so something is wrong with your state of mind to not understand this video
Forget baseball, football, hockey, basketball, and other mainstream sports. As far as I'm concerned, the best athletes on the planet are skateboarders.
Compare swining a bat, throwing pigskin, and dribbling a piece of leather to landing an impossible or kickflip off a set of double stairs.
@TheGrayChannel As far as pure athletism goes, all of the sports you mentioned are superior to skateboarding.
The thing is, skateboarding isn't just a sport, and can't be compared to pure sports because of that. Skateboarding isn't about landing the biggest trick or training vigorously for 20 years to make it to the top.
A thing that has undoubtedly flown right over the heads of the current generation of skaters, who think winning BATB is what it's all about.
@adicakes Nah man, it was over a decade ago I was rolling on an 8.25! I even had a friend into the skinny jeans back then. I remember most decks being around 7.75" to 8". Who woulda thought it would catch on? And a couple of companies used to put out what they called "minis" as well, usually about 29 x 7.25, which is what every board now looks like to me, though obviously not as short as a mini.
@cutmasterotter your a stupid one too old haha i guess you havent seen any penny footy recently or you wouldnt be saying that go watch ryan sheckler at the dew tour FOOL
he just cant be fucked with, i mean that switch fs flip down a double set from 95 will always be the status quo. switch 180 to 5-0, the pool action! how many top noch st pros can bs kf indy air 5' above the coping in the deep end of the pool? i cant think of any, penny haters make me bewildered bc the guy is obviously the best...and so graceful. i mean c'mon he's the smoothest out!
@anarchistathiest yes the extremely sorry section wasnt great but to be honest i didnt rate the whole video that much. but penny is a legend and back in the day he was ahead of his time. take a look around at some old footage of him on here, anything of him from 1993 to 2005 is all timeless footage. but if you didnt witness his magic when it happened then youd be forgiven for not understanding.
The reason I and many others liked tom penny so much was because he didnt come to a spot necisarily to skate it, but to kill it. like in his video parts you never really see him just throwing down one trick on one spot, he would throw down three or four. He is the man.
that sounds more like uncertainty to me, that he doesn't know wtf he wants to do, so he just does a bunch and lets the filmer pick what goes in the vid.
other pro's have this thing called a brain, and mental picture, of how they want there part to come out. they dont waste all there tricks on 1 spot, they save them for other spots.
its called FILMING, u film your trick and are done, thats the point, pros kill spots then there just skating
really now? cuz in extremely sorry, i thought i was watching an amatures video. cory kennidy had a sicker part than him. . . he only did 1 trick down 1 stair and it was the ender. . . and it was only a 3 flat 3. thats the chillin type of steps u skate at a skate park, not for a video. and he didn't hit 1 hand rail. . . this tom penny seems to be too far ahead, like, in the future, when theres no more stairs or rails, just elevators. . .i dont like that future.
well i wouldnt say this is his best part but if you look at him like eight years ago yeah he was ahead of his time. back when carlsbad wsa being skated for the first few times and he switch frontside flipped it
@anarchistatheist im sorry but your oviously a complete idiot who knows nothing about skating im sure youd rather be watching ryan sheckler than bask in the blessed pressence of our god penny. i mean you cant be serrious he didnt hit a hand rail you must be joking penny has already done everything hes KILLED handrails he just does manuals and shit because hes already been the best for so long and will continue to be the best for the rest of skatings existance i feel very sorry for you
@anarchistatheist im sorry but your oviously a complete idiot who knows nothing about skating im sure youd rather be watching ryan sheckler than bask in the blessed pressence of our god penny. i mean you cant be serrious he didnt hit a hand rail you must be joking penny has already done everything hes KILLED handrails he just does manuals and shit because hes already been the best for so long and will continue to be the best for the rest of skatings existance i feel very sorry for you
you sound worse than fanatic Christians lol. i feel sorry for you.
its all about NOW. if he wanted too he could still be doing that shit, he just doesn't cuz now hea a pussy. he had his raign, and now hes callin it quits, just like alot of the old pros.
but pros like berra, koston, steve cab, etc, they kept skating and getting better, not sitting back, and calling it quits.
so your "god" is just a pussy that couldn't keep up with the new times and new skaters.
@anarchistatheist dude just shut up, obviously you cant just accept other people for who they are and what they worship and you sound like a TOTAL asshole, i wanna see you do ANYTHING Tom Penny does and i guarantee youd freak out, have a heart attack, have explosive diarrhea, and and go crying back to your MOTHER, if i met you in real life i bet i would see that you arent half the man or have half the morals any Cristian would have as in helping others and not be a narcissistic self centered SOB
you mean the christians, such as catholic priest that rape children?
or how about the christian piasters, that say "we accept every one for who they are" then turn around and kick people out of there sermon for wearing shorts?
or the ones that open churchs, not for god, but for money? yea, thats totally better than me.
you speak of morals, but then your talking shit about some one you know NOTHING about. faith says nothing about your character
you tell me to go get a life, but your here, bitching about me for talking shit about religion, when the only thing i said about religion, is that hes worse than fanatic Christians. YOU sir, dont only need to get a life, but need to get a legit middle school diploma, cuz you interpretation skills are non existent. your a dumb ass.
and ps. not only did i say nothing about religion, i also said nothing about race. . . gtfo of here. and no, i'm not 22, i'm 18 -__-
@anarchistatheist you're not your haha middle school diploma and you don't know when to use your and you're, you are a hypocrite and you don't have to say something to mean it, you can imply it and what you implied was pretty broad and easy to get something out of, btw i never said that you said anything about race ahahaahha... 18 grow up
your sentence's are fucking HORRIBLE, if your ganna bitch about punctuation, then use it correctly your self, u missed like 50 commas. and idgaf about proper antonyms, its the internet kid, not an essay exam, did you get what i ment? obviously if your correcting it, so idgaf.
and "and keep bad comments of racial and religous status to yourself and let it be..." racial, referring to race. so stfu.
and if your going to tell me to get a life, dont lurk a page just to reply to a comment
and yea, i CAN imply something, doesn't mean i did. your just assuming, so stfu with you very ignorant assumptions based on very vague possible implications.
people that say "hes the greatest ever, no matter what you say" and bitch, when i disagree, ruin skating. people like you, tryin to put people down' and sayin shit like "people like you ruin skateboarding" when they dont know some one at all, ruin skating. if its, stop bitchin, just love, and skate. then what makes me any different than you, for calling me out on it?
@anarchistatheist he was the best street skater before you jump your feet on skateboard for the first time.. all pros will tell you tom penny blew their minds out that's why he became legendary when new kids starting to not understand why. he won two pro street contests, he beat andrew reynolds, tony hawk, phil shao, tim brauch, willy santos, eric koston, and many famous pros in that contest even ray barbee who skated longer than him, twice!! when that happened, he became one of greatest skaters
@anarchistatheist so just quit whining, live, and be a man, take shit in and let it go and keep bad comments of racial and religous status to yourself and let it be... damn grow up especially if you say your the age you are in your channel, damn 22? Find a fucking life
The best fucking style ever!!! Before the shecklers, P-Rods and all that bullshit, there was Tom Penny and his escape from fame just when we thought he was gonna be the next big thing. Good memories, thanx...
@dudebearpig05 your a smart one duh people are stupid while true he can do them down humongas gaps and shit hes no tom penny hes 50 percent skill, 50 percent gimmick. tom penny is 100 percent skill and 110 percent keeping it real as a soul skater
omg, you fucking dumb ass xD. soul skaters, dont have sponsors. wow, your so fucking stupid, that i feel sorry for even slightly taking u serious on my last comment.
lol, good luck being a dumb shit.
ps. if your ganna say i know nothing about skating, then learn what the fucking terms mean dumb shit.
the best skater ever hands down
