[Colabeertje]

[Girlsk8bords]

In the new Skateboard Mag, theres sequence of Truman Hooker boardsliding that chain and poping off the pole into the bank, Its mindblowing O.O

[xXxEnjoiSk8rxXx]

Fuck if cops want us to stop skating spots they should hire Tom Penny to come in and do that for them

[RaabBlog]

@xXxEnjoiSk8rxXx *Cop calling Tom*"Yea , Tom? we need you to show these kids that they shouldnt even bother trying so come down here and destroy this spot for us" Lol i know i wouldnt show up to my local spots if tom penny did a sess there.

[agr0twat]

[robertacos23]

Best style ever in skateboarding ever! period!

[MrJayra210]

that nollie backside flip into the bank

holy lord

he's a fucking alien!

Tom Penny whoa

[shoebottom]

We been to the grass gap rail numerous times

[rhdsir2]

Does anybody know which bank this is?  I just want to go look at it since I live in San Diego.

[jephroxx1]

@rhdsir2

Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp

[Pighaterskater]

Everytime....right on the bolts. dam!

[ILLROCKREPTILIAN1]

dyrdek sounds like a hater describing pennys session... like he was tryin to jynx it... rob should give us all his money and shut the f up!

[daliks]

@ILLROCKREPTILIAN1  what are you on?

great clip!!

[superlost90]

A bank just like that one killed my confidence for a year. Collar bone destruction session. Props 2 Penny.

[zahkul]

...and he just sealed the deal with the switch bs flip..... damn

[codelocator]

Great clip, nice to have a narrative.

[hijinxmobTEXAS]

chills up my spine. i have witnessed moments before, on a vert ramp, in louisville, even wakeboarding in texas. chills bro, chills

[BoobSquadOfficer]

So much style back then everyone style sucked but not Penny, such a legend.

[Talkofthatown919]

switch flip he has a cig n his right hand flawless

[imaginarymarmaseut]

just got goosebumps

[LeonDGM]

This guy inspires me. I was doin loads of kickflip variations on a bank today, my little tribute to this vid.

[drewsky684]

There's always someone who just "gets" the spot they are skating at. I had a spot like that back in the day, but I completely bombed at other spots. It's all relative.

[hormone696969]

11 dislikes?! 11 very jealous screen watching assholes that can't skate! tom penny was out winning comps when u were learning your ABC's! He is and always will be a true champion!

[southbanktrousers2]

@hormone696969 11 people that don't realise that it doesn't matter that mike mo might be able to do the same tricks now

[jbean9021]

@southbanktrousers2

...switch

[RaabBlog]

@southbanktrousers2 True, big difference between the world of skateboarding at 99-2000 and now.

[benelk2]

@RaabBlog - the tricks are from the first transworld video called UNO.. this is just a retrospective.. - the tricks was filmed in 95-96

[RaabBlog]

@benelk2 It makes my point even stronger then.

[fakie5oh]

Dyrdek says like a lot.

[imaposer123]

I met this dude in Denver

[DirTyOhGee]

11 dip shits missed the like button!!! COME ON!!!

[eronic123456]

i wish hestill skates like that today, LEGEND 4 LYF! :)

[alkashroom]

@eronic123456 if you are speaking of like that today, it would be amateurs doing that.. it's sick that he killed 11 tricks back in 1996.. today is a lot different but he still rips, sorry part was okay but his really sorry and extremely sorry are still one of dopest footages.. it's these new cameras, these expensive cameras today make tricks look easy but watch and think how hard trick is then you will have mind blow out, like pop shuvit over fence off small kicker in extremely sorry is SICK!!

[alkashroom]

but my point to this is that Tom Penny is still ripping, he doesn't go out and do combos like most pros are doing now, he skates differently from everybody and his skating skills today is still mind-blowing.. like he skates differently back in 90's and he still skates differently today.. what i am afraid about is that the end of Tom Penny is on way now, maybe in 2 to 3 years, Tom Penny gets older and end of Tom Penny gets closer. they need to film him more before his age stops his ripping

[jonnyd89]

@alkashroom not all ams or pros could session that spot like penny did even today, defiantly not with as much style and ease. Also his part in Etnies High Five is probably some of his sickest footage.

[Riz2336]

Classic

[ChillClassic]

didn´t someone did a Nollie inwardheelflip manny down that bank ???

by the way legendary part

[mcpresso]

ed templeton is far superior then this so called tomas penny

[aaronchillz]

@mcpresso stop comparing skaters that's what nine year olds do

[mcpresso]

@aaronchillz i will compare my cock against yours like a 15 yr old.

[bocajls]

Is that bornholm?

[eraofgold]

the originator of style

the generational progression inspiration

the pure essence of skateboarding

TP... the foundation of how we know it

[donttrustany1]

I miss the old Tom

[kpdawes]

@donttrustany1 what you mean? he's still sick, in sorry, switch 360 kickflip on mini-ramp that nobody does before, and in really sorry, kickflip off roof to real steep bank, and in extremely sorry, fakie half cab heelflip double 4 steps.. others than that, switch 360 flip kickoff to 5 steps, switch hardflip kickoff to 5 steps.. he's fucking sick, his style is just different from everybody that does kickflip to nosegrind to flip out, he just does switch off something real gnarly with hard tricks

[bigbbadnoobian]

tom penny one of the best skatboarders ever

[Catch22ish]

Iconic

[NeuralNetProcessor]

Thanks Dyrdek for telling us what we all knew anyways...that Tom Penny is God.

[tompennyisbeast]

dude tom penny is the best skater ever

[mrdavidpatrickcase]

this inspired me of style

[SaulMeyersz]

when tom penny skated it was like pure butter..

anyways. its like he could fall asleep on the board

one of his best ever sessions is he wasnt even trying .it one of the 90's

transworld hes on a minipipe and hes wearing this big jacket and hoodie.he was so smooth it was bizarre to see

[SaulMeyersz]

im not lying but when iwas younger i owned the uno video .

[heyemee]

wtf i want those 10 who don't like this vid to explain me why ?? god.

[thatsdandy]

legend

[Juanster23]

BAH no 360 flip. Shit is weak.

[eraofgold]

@Juanster23 this is 96' when skateboarding had soul..tre flips were not sweated upon by flat peaked emo's. BAH penny was throwing them down switch in his era. yo knowledge is weak.

[Juanster23]

@eraofgold dude i was joking.

[GMoorefan115]

Who the F#*k are the 10 dipshits on here that pressed the dislike button! Kooks are everywhere!

[WTGprankz]

drydek wishes he could shred tht shit

[switchkillin]

i skate the way i skate because of this guy!

go to the search and type in

ghetto star weekly mike duncan

[hamnerandpals]

tom penny is the man

[bofeds]

good narrating rob dyrek

[LeonDGM]

tom penny can beat chuck norris in a game of skate

[neonblitz]

switch b/s flip over that chain down the bank plus the nollie backside flip & cab variations would all make any video part now, what 15 years later?

[aznmidgetskater]

he destroyed that gap!

[MikeTupperTheKiller]

the nollie bs flip was way gnarlier than the switch bs flip

[JonoriusGM]

@MikeTupperTheKiller Depends. i think the switch backside pop is hard to get up, plus it was a strange angle and a trick he struggled with (slightly) and it was the last trick. I'd give the honours to the smoked bs flip personally.

[GMoorefan115]

@JonoriusGM Hell yeah,He had to have been about spent when he layed down that last trick! What an Epic Ender!

[FleckenSkater]

The guy film his part in one day crazy

[rups2k7]

SPOT KILLER!

[MegaJoshJoshJosh]

fuck tom penny, jesus !

[rebusd]

I'd say he figured out that transition pretty quick, hahaha!

See how Drydek describes the inevitable pitch to the flat in 0:33-0:35, but the controlled bails in 1:26-1:34 spell absolute comfort with the terrain.

Talk about talent. And I think a little time & perspective has led me to conclude that the cab was the greatest move that day... imho.

[micshaz]

@rebusd switch bs flip. definetly.

[k00kaine]

Ali Boulala in the background from 1:21 1:23 and in other spots in the video maybe.

[marcriganoskate]

does anyone know where this is?

[MrChusChus]

@marcriganoskate it's in san diego

[marcriganoskate]

@MrChusChus like by sea world or something?

[REGGIESILK]

If you watch the footage closely Penny skates the bank at a angle so that when he lands each trick it is easier to roll away with down the bank.Smart move Tom.

[RIKTZZ]

chain destruction, penny rips, fuck dydrek

[irepelay]

I'd be more impressed with the switch frontside flip than the switch backside flip.

[hippiefilth]

switch b/s heelflips are way more difficult than switch f/s flips. that said, i do like the way his switch f/s flips look more tho

[irepelay]

@hippiefilth He didnt switch b/s Heelflip it, he switch b/s Kickflipped it, I'm just saying I got switch backside flips on lock, switch f/s flips seem almost impossible to me.

[frizzlefry420oh]

@irepelay right

[Robertnuns]

i think dyrdek wants to have sex with tom penny,

[frizzlefry420oh]

@Robertnuns dyrdek wnt to have sex with everyone. lets just be happy we didnt have to hear him sing

[bakerism420]

the. man.

[xReppinHoustonx]

carlins heelflip over the whole thing bank and all is holy shit

[sk84fun218]

JT aultz kickflip nose mannied it

[sskatethe918]

that was a completely different spot.

[sk84fun218]

no same spot, ender in black and blue

[sskatethe918]

I know man, I've seen all the volumes of black and blue. Are you sure it's the same spot? It looks a lot different.

[Talkofthatown919]

Penny did more over a chain to bank in aday then some will do in a lifetime on a skateboard

[kap1alkaline3]

shut the chains down.............period. you can go there and get your little hard flips and shit but to hammer off trick after trick like so.......never........and this spots hard to get an ollie over the chain at.

[12elis]

chris cole needs to bs flip 360 this

[floree83forrealbitch]

i like too see a salabanzi - penny SKATE

[noahskate19]

if ur gonna comment on a guy like tom penny let alone a skate video dont say lol thats gay

[darkangelbret3]

"one man destruction session" thats a good way to describe it lol

[logik016]

and that's why if anyone tries to skate there, has to pull off his trick all over to the flat.

[hormone696969]

Don't come back here the bank is DEFINITELY closed, it's over with

[Eimsbush1986]

LEGEND...penny 4 life

[Georgeocurtis]

such a great section, i want a hard copy of this video really bad.

By the way, i counted 30 "like"s from rob. he was like throwing down like these hammers like you know?

[mkirby714]

W O W

[techthis61]

better flick then reynolds!!! super smooth

[MrDemephi]

does someone know where to find that song?

all the newsome and atiba song

[pawnsofamerica]

penny so fluid

[hogleg08]

tuna town banks!!!

[turwaloo]

amazing

[123Mars]

I live in Oxford now (Tom's hometown)! I just hope that I'll see him skate here one day! That'd be GREAT!!!

[fuckcarrots82]

Nollie frontside flip is the best one....fucking hell, devine intervention

Im not religious, but thats the closest ive got to believing in god.

fukcingdsjlkfdslkfkjdsfjlkdsfd­skjfldsgdslkngs

[holdaas1993]

that was a nollie backside flip, but i agree

[nkalexander7]

Penny at this time was the best skater ever.

[darkjorge3]

he's still amazing

[jbean9021]

i dont know about overall but shuriken threw the inward heel to manual which was sicker then any of these to me

still beast as fuck though

[naboba]

the frontside flip at :21 is huge!

that gap ledge is at ucsd in san diego

[tomhunter0]

holy god...

[rybx21]

everyone needs to be informed that this footage of tom is from transworld's uno (1996). also, its not what you do, its how you do it. If you do a kicklflip and tom penny does a kickflip - he wins at s.k.a.t.e.

[83Mysterio]

@rybx21 Yeah he had the best style. Tom Penny and Jamie Thomas are skateboard legends.

[ryazbeck]

@rybx21 the dope steez

[onelifeonechance777]

billy marks bigspin heeled and switch bigspin heeled into this thing. pretty sure thats a little more impressive than a switch backside flip. i mean in all honesty i might could make a ss bs flip into that sketchy ass thing, but props to penny. the cab was sick... actually all of it was sick.

[bballboarder019]

thing is this is 2000...and nobody did shit like that with such ease and laid back style...no hate just puttin perspective on this situation.

[chokingvaccum]

It was at the time that the tricks went down. It has nothing to do with technicallity, it has everything to do with history. So up yourself on some skate history before you start shootin' off names like, Billy Marks, or Mike Mo or whoever else is down these days.. know what I'm sayin?

[danthefave]

@onelifeonechance777 Could you do this in 1996 though?

[DaveIrie]

Someone does a flip trick over this to manual down it in a recent skate vid I saw. Skating's progressed a lot since this time. For those saying it's impossible to do and shit. I bet Penny could do more advanced shit on it now too

[whitesk8r]

shuriken shannon did a inward heel to manual

[mhaneline]

I remember watching this when it came out. Penny was just tearing this back so hard, rolling with a cig and everything. It totally changed my outlook.

[TheMistr420]

every time i see this spot i think back to this vid it is so sick

[lulzhunter88]

This spot is sketchy. I visited it over the summer and got a kickflip and back 180 on it. Both of those tricks were a struggle. The back 180 took me more tries than I'd like to admit to. Penny is a legend. I bet most people on here couldn't even get the switch flip let alone all of the other stuff he hit up.

[Justin8806]

forever the illlllest

godddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­dd damn

[Nietsro]

This may not look sick to you guys, but it is, today too. Tricks into a bank over a fence is nothing on footage for you, until you go there yourself and get's pitched to the asphalt. All that I'm saying is that you never really see the sketchiness yourself on footage. You'll have to experience that yourself.

[okayplayer31]

the sw bflip is great

[KRoNikMaTT420]

i visited this spot over the summer, landed a fs 180 and a hippie ollie down it. but tom penny is the greatest!! he killed it!!!

[Skater4Life295]

sssuuuree you did

[KRoNikMaTT420]

pretty sure anybody thats been skating for a few years can land a fs 180 into a bank. the chain is only about a foot off the ground

[Skater4Life295]

yeah i guess so

only a foot??

looks higher

huh

okay i guess i belive you

my bad

[laxskater49]

no u dnt dude dnt believe his shit read my comment bfore this

[KRoNikMaTT420]

i know, it wasnt to high, but its pretty damn steep. Everyone needs to go skate it!

[laxskater49]

your so dumb you think you know more then the people that have actually skated it dude stfu who r u anyways can you even nollie bs flip flatground let alone ove a chain into this bank thats apparently sketchy as fuck.. no i didnt think so so stfu and if u read the latest transworld call the church of tom youd know this guy revolutionized skating so just take your dumb ass outta here and hate sumwhere else whener u actually know the facts

[KRoNikMaTT420]

read my comment next time moron, i didnt say i bs nollie flipped it, i said i fs 180ed it. the bank IS sketchy, and i know that tom penny revolutionized skating, thats why i said hes the greatest, and that he killed it. i love tom penny, im not dissing him at all. i have more respect for him after skating the spot because i could barely get an easy trick down it, much less the crazy shit he did
