tom penny invented steeze

[jeffanie1984]

This video part came out when i was 11 and just started skating. Thank you Tom Penny for being one of the first people to inspire me at anything.

[yz426clint]

in yer face muska!

[savanahslamma]

I miss this Tom. I remember the first time I saw this and Flip industry section in 411, it solidified him as one of the best and one of my personal favourites ever.

[switchkillin]

[macciocapatonda88]

sweet fs flips

[iktripflips100]

Penny is big boss in this mutha fuckaa

[chickenman5000]

alot of this footage was in the e's video part. how peculiar

[msromyilano]

god I love his style! those grabs and jumps are so gorgeous!

[bryandapogi23]

back then no one cared much about the style of doing a trick..

people just cared about landing the trick and that was good enough.

Tom Penny originated the smooth style of skating.

[nadman14]

@bryandapogi23 so true man, he pioneered style in skating.

[pizzaskate420]

@bryandapogi23 no i disagree NOW people dont care about style or just dont have style. back in the 90s it was all about style .skateboarding is dead now there is no style just ballerina fag tight pants shit

[bryandapogi23]

@pizzaskate420

ya maybe in the 80s or 70s

cuz everyone was skating pools, or tranny.

its in the 90s where shit started to get technical in the streets and people didnt care, they jus wanted to land the trick. but whatever dude.

its ur opinion.

[bryandapogi23]

@pizzaskate420

BTW

Watch "Why Style matters on video skateboarding"

at the end they talk about how people becamse fascinated with technical street skating that style was no longer important and lost.. Watch it dude, im tellin you. Its during the 90s when videos with tech street skating came out too.

[spankysteez]

@pizzaskate420 I totally agree with you. I have to watch videos from the 90s and early 2000s to get motivated to go skating. Today's videos are amazing, but they don't make me want to skate at all. There's a formatted style today. How ridiculous is it that you can categorise skaters now? Lakai skater, lakai skater, Beibel wannabe, Prod clone, etc etc. It's retarded.

[raymarkhamyarsongs]

@bryandapogi23 you and everyone who voted this up is an idiot. straight up. style has always been a huge factor in skateboarding. back to the hosoi vs. tony hawk days. look up christian hosoi and learn more about skateboarding's past. ALL OF YOU.

[bryandapogi23]

@raymarkhamyarsongs

i guess what im trying to say is that he brought it back, when people stopped caring.

like during the h-street era. people just cared about how tech their tricks were rather than how it appealed.

watch this video.

/watch?v=vSLSTrBuBqk&feature=r­elated

watch the last part of it.

[mrretard155]

i feel like an idiot but what year was this?

[willcitoman97]

@mrretard155 1995.... 15 years old!

[ronsongillet]

demasiado bueno para su tiempo.. dicen que la droga lo atrapó........

despues de ver mucho,,,,,decir que lo vi en vivo varias veces en su mejor época y puedo afirmar que es uno de los mejores skaters en la historia del patin planetario

[itskane79]

Unless you skated in the 90s when this footage of penny came out, you can't truely understand how sick it is. Pennys hi 5 footage is fuckin legendary.

[oele]

stil amazing!!

[ColorMeSteezy]

Tomy Penny is the greatest skateboarder of all time. I can only wish that someday another skateboarder will receive such a talent for the world to see.

[rapisgay1]

id say this part gave him the unofficial s.o.t..y. of that year. i mean some of these spots were hit harder by penny in the mid 90's than the pros of today

[fuckcarrots82]

0:31

Ladies and gentleman, I give you

the perfect kickflip.

[crapyguitarist72]

gnarlyyy

[electronicmilkman]

i just realized he did a kickflip indy in a fucking backyard pool. so massive back then

[JakeBradyNJ]

Uhhh so massive now. He wasn't even wearing pads. He's a beast.

[apcesarr]

fuckin amazing

[cayorider]

cleanest flips

[ironcheftruth]

love the EBTG song being used in the clip!

[ironcheftruth]

Sorry, it's Heroes. My itunes was playing in the background. It's Heroes by Bowie.

[talktal]

his parts now and days dont compare to this. this part still holds up today

[lordxcrow]

[talktal]

heroes by bowie

[jhump2431]

penny shows you that its not what you do but how you make it look. I could watch him do flat ground ollies all day and be satisfied

[ihatecon]

the fs flip at :39 is so sick.

[kpdawes]

man, i have seen last part trick somewhere often and it still makes me feel sick everytime i watch it, switch 180 f/s flip over 3 steps like it was nothing to him, sick!! i still haven't seen anybody switch 180 f/s flip over 3 sets yet while it's already past 10 years..

[trizzyman123]

Back when Etnies weren't worn by Jocks, Cheer leaders, and "hey look at me, my entire wardrobe consists of Hollister" kids. SIck skating, and imagine this was in 95. Damn.

[DJnedKnowledge422]

@trizzyman123 etnies scams, with the face stitched behind the heel. mid tops. skating was so real. you got dogged hard if it looked like you had skate shoes that hadnt been skated in. remember slicks? and world industries trying to get you to sell your soul for a t-shirt ads?

[kaiserwilhelm]

@DJnedKnowledge422 mystery makes slick bottoms. I want a slick bottom.

[DJnedKnowledge422]

oh right right, yea i remember thumbing through ccs magazines and slicks were always in the front, all the companys had one...boards in the front shoes in the back thats the format...RIP california skate express dope mag too...TOM PENNY TRUE G TALANTED AS FUK : ) no more to it

[buttmuncher100]
