  • That change of music is  big mistake. Classic footage, anyway.

  • The all time greatest 411 video..you honestly cannot get better than Tom Penny...

  • so sick!!

    do you have the rest of this video?

  • Ha I love how everyone here is freaking out over Penny but if someone skated kinda sketchy like he does they would get so burned. Tom Penny Rips.

  • @laxer94 SHAKEJUNT SHAKEJUNT SHAKEJUNT SHAKEJUNT SHAKEJUNT SHAKEJUNT SHAKEJUNT SHAKEJUNT SHAKEJUNT

  • smoke One

  • start of the style coming through! i've got the following years comp as a whole video but he only comes 7th but has some of the biggest runs but then the following year was obviously the big one where he just killed it

  • @TheDangerousKid you should try and post it I remember that one he ripped then too, I think he was flipping over the big 4 hipped funbox every time when others struggled to ollie it, he backside flipped it and powerslid for about 15 feet if I remember. I also didtinctivly remember the likes certain visiting americans really taking the piss out of him, albeit he was totally oblivious to the whole contest, the crowd and what he was doing anyway which made it even funnier!

  • best british skater ever

  • @bullion89 best skater ever

  • Haha one of his favorite skaters was Jason Lee, thats aweosme.

  • Don't get it. What's so funny 'bout that? You do know that J. Lee was an esteemed pro skater before he became an actor, right?

  • @WhiteLabelRoor yea back in the super small wheels days for a while there jason lee was one of the best street skaters and skating was so different back then when nobody did it..i think it was way better for that reason..i think we are already to the point where skating cant go to much further and they will have to change the way its done and branch it out so it dont get old and fade away..it happened before..at 1st it was only half pipe type stuff popular n then street skating came.whats next?

  • @d0n77 I agree, skating can't really progress anymore. I mean there's only so many things you can possibly do on board with four wheels. Personally I dont give a shit about super tech tricks or going super big. What matters to me is style and making even simple tricks look and feel good. Seems to me a lot of the newer generation dont have much style. Guys like Jason Lee, Jeremy Klien, Reese Forbes, Salman Agah...they could make a simple lipslide look so good.

  • this si skating at its roots no new gay bullshit i personally love tom penny

  • Radlands was wicked but a lot of the time it had a layer of scum over everything that made the whole place slippery as ice, literally like an ice rink. The old roll in was so fun though, you could launch right out of it and get crazy flips, but if it was a slippery day you could fall like a sack of shit at the bottom, I remember Penny on a slippery day rolling in and playing with power slides he would start sliding as soon as he came of the roll in and get so far, ok if you get free wheels!

  • It depended what time of year, it wasnt slippy all the time....but Sometimes unskateable...

    Rain + bandits used to be the main problem for slippery floor

  • How did he only get 3rd in that contest?

  • Ahhhh Radlands!!! I miss that place so much. Was just the illest place to grow up skating through the 90's!

  • OMG he was just 15 years old in this tape...

  • manera de comenzar un line ! simplemente penny..

  • so good pennys the king

  • Holy shit! There playing The Verve!

  • Not really man, "I'm" playing the Verve, thought it was appropriate for Tom. Original (as mentioned) was early Cornershop. The comment about the crowd going nuts when he sticks the kickflip over the big pyramid is so true, the roar is enormous.

  • Well you have extremely good taste in music my friend!

  • Makes this shit look effortless...awesome skater

  • this footage is timeless. it was amazing then, it is amazing now and in 10 years it will still be amazing.

  • hes saying im gonna tab tommorow meaning im gonna trip on acid tommorow

  • LOL X 2!

  • ha ha yeah he does say that? how the hell did you hear that? penny what a fucking legend!

  • He makes it look so easy.. typically Penny

  • i've got exams tomorrow

  • LOL!

  • i think hes sayin ive gotta cram tomorrow.... like maybe for a test. and this song makde a tear come to my eye i fucking love it you made my week :)

  • i think everyone wishes they were this good

  • I know I do...

  • hey dude can you post his full radlands contest run noone has it up

  • Steeeeeeez at 1:13

  • its hard to beleive how good he was at that time, man i can watch this over and over for ever.

  • in the beginning hes rollin up a blunt =]

  • looks like a paper to me prob a spliff since hes from england :) weed + cig = spliff

  • am i the only person who wishes tom penny would come out with a new part that blows us away just as much as back in the day?

  • cant wait till extemely sorry comes out

  • sweet i own this video on VHS and was the first skate video i ever saw..and i remember how stoked i was on penny even for how old it was...pennys the fuckin best

  • tom penny has always been the shit even here when he is like 15 he is the SHIT. then when he was about 19 he was the greatest of all time in my opinion hands down. No skateboarder is more sick than tom penny age 17-19 he is my inspiration for all of my skateboarding and still today has the best style of any pro, just doesnt jump down huge shit like A.R. or some others.

  • Jeremy Wray was right up there with him.

  • jeremy wray is a SICK skateboarder i really liked his second hand smoke part. i still know penny......... is so great on so many levles....

  • i had this issue.

  • The original sound rocked. The crown went crazy when he kick-flipped the big pyramid.

  • no way you were there bro?

  • You misunderstood me. I meant, he was just as sick and legendary as Tom. Two of the best landers of their era. Now almost everybody is landing super smooth.

  • dude was he rolling up a blunt.

  • yep=]

  • LOL NICE

  • awsome style, dosent even look like he trying :)

  • Its so crazy, cos thats a long time ago, and it was so tecnical then as it is now.

  • killin it!

  • cool

  • blackdice23 is retarded, this is an international legend blossoming. You can take your critisism and fuck off! The guy skates better than you can in your dreams wanker. Ask most pro skaters in the states and Penny will be part of their inspiration. I met him on a number of occasions as a Londoner and he´s just like anybody but with an amazing talent for skateboarding. Rule Brittania and Penny rules the waves!!!!!

  • Blackdice is complimenting him

  • Whoops! Seem to remember drinking a bottle of whisky before writing that comment soz Blackdice23 the way i read your input then sounded like you were dissing the lad. My bad!

  • not feeling the song

  • I've spotted your problem, music is a "hearing" sense. Try "feeling" a cat.

  • i feel the cat, u feel the cock... Now get the fuck out of here!

  • Dude, we dont' tolerate that kind of language here. You dumbshit motherfucker.

  • word word

  • thanks!

    tom is the best ^^

  • fantastic!

  • Please someone tell me this is a joke. Tom PENNY needs to work on his style? He invented style. Besides which, it's about enjoying yourself, it's skateboarding, not ballet.

  • chuckleschuck, i would like to see you go to carlsbad gap and do clean switch 180 f/s flip like tom penny did.. yeah you will bust your skull so fuck off and watch latest tom penny in really sorry video then u will regret for what you said..

  • haha

  • Are you being Ironic?

  • take a wild guess. tom penny rubs butter all over his body before he skates

  • This isn't the same original song for this prt, I own this 411.

  • It's 2 parts from the same vid so I "linked" them by using the amazing powers of music. The original Cornershop track is pretty funny.

  • Dude's rollin' a joint at 15, damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

  • ??? u must have a sheltered background

  • i wonder what pennys making at the start =P=]

  • nice to radlands in all its glory, when they held all the big contents and brought the world both penny and rowley into the scene. good times. cheers for the video.

  • Good to hear from some Verve fans...

    Was originally very old school cornershop but as chopped two bits from the tape together it made sense to dub over.

  • nice 1 bin lookin for that for ages! Cool song but woz the original 1 cornershop if i remember

  • ...stood at the top of the hill over my town i was found. Finding myself used tu be hard but now i see the light.... This Is Music..

  • dude i have this tape its fuckin sick

  • whats the name of this song??? it's the verve yeah???

  • Nice pick dude, old school Verve, It's "This Is Music" from "A Northern Soul", well worth getting that album, it changes lives...

  • Northern Soul is really amazing...true british 90s music...with Tom Penny...its just inspiring/...

  • oh shit..i was looking for while for this one..thnx 4 uploading (Y)

  • shit man , that was so sick , fuckin switch bigflips everywhere lol. He's such a ridiculous hip skater , the best maybe ?

  • Thanks for the video, can't get tired of watching his skating!

  • Can anyone work out what he says at the start? "I've got an exam tomorrow"?, "I'm going to Japan tomorrow"?, "Is there a pan I can borrow"?

    It's tormented me for nigh on 15 years now.

  • i guess he says i got a exam tomorrow :S

  • im going on a tram tomorrow is what i always thought he said =S

  • sounds like 'im goin to dam tomorrow' as in amsterdam

  • this vid is fckin awesome!

    penny is a skateboarding legend!
