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