Tom Penny interview for www.Junkyard.com

[ihaveabadrash]

nobody had a kickflip like him... still my hero since 95

[mekosilvar]

I think smoking makes your voice deep like that...

[bumofnorway]

when he`s talking my speakers are silent... the sub tho.. ! woob woob! him talkin is like a fucking dubstep bassline

[imtheFreshest]

The Wu-Tang Clan is like the Beatles of Hip Hop. Or the Beatles are like the Wu-Tang of Pop...

If you wonder what Penny meant with: Wu-Tang and Beatles:

Ceck out the "Enter The Magical Mystery Chamber". Great fucking Mash-Up Album. Toooo hot.

[ChewyHighHAD]

Flip should just send his paycheck to the pharmacy...guy does so much oxy

[killyourego1983]

@ChewyHighHAD How do you know that?

[imtheFreshest]

@ChewyHighHAD

Who the fuck cares what he takes? his life, i take what the fuck i want too. evil, evil "drugs". but alcohol, one of the worst fucking drugs is so okay. but if somebody is an alcoholic its again his life and his desicion. (apart from a view of the healthcare system, which has to back the shit up later, which we pay)

but your comment was funny tho, hehe.

[MAmoviesRS]

penny is soo good.

[MikeJMck]

WHAT GURU SONG IS THAT DURING THE PENNY HUNTINGTON PART??? BEST GURU SONG IVE HEARD EVER

[4l4ddin77]

@MikeJMck Code of the Streets. best Premier beat

[STAYHIGH77]

[4l4ddin77]

[STAYHIGH77]

@4l4ddin77 im not def on that i could be wrong.its premier scratching the bleepy sound but the beat and sample was guru i think??

[4l4ddin77]

[4l4ddin77]

@MikeJMck yo dude youtube DJ Premier Method man PLO of the streets. it's some of the Wu Tang members rappin over that same beat it's fuckin ridiculous, so sick

[digitaljerm]

Where is this shop

[moovehman9958]

@digitaljerm sweden

[gofastthatway]

Penny is a guru.

[TheEasymac420]

wow that message isnt fucking annoying

[MRskaterble]

goods skater but fuck he dresses like a douche

[TheAxle149]

@MRskaterble Correction, he dresses like a Boss

[matdoomn]

@TheAxle149 Correct correction there sir.

[51td0wnm4n1]

@MRskaterble he dresses like he dressed when he was a little shit. dude hasn't changed one but except that he got older. True OG that stayed true to what he was comfortable with. fuck you if you can't handle it. it's not a fashion show.

[MRskaterble]

@51td0wnm4n1 its funny you getting all up in arms about it i didnt say it was as most of the pros say in all there interviews it is what you make it mark gonzarles said its almost like art fuck you for acting like a A grade prick its just a comment

[51td0wnm4n1]

@MRskaterble up in arms. i'm just saying, whats anything have to do with how he dresses?

[MRskaterble]

@51td0wnm4n1 nothing as a said just a fucking comment..

[PathMidnight]

@MRskaterble he dressed like that always even when a kid. I think it is legitimately part of his personalty, rather than a look he tries to go for. Like even if he was stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no one else, he would still wake up everyday and put those type of clothes on

[physcoticnarcotic]

@MRskaterble I can tell your just a bitch-boy who dresses like the skater who is getting the most attention at any moment, changes each month huh? fuck off, go find yourself instead of shadowing someone else, oh yeah dont do a ollie cuz you dont wanna scuff your shoe up for when you walk around the mall faggot!

[MRskaterble]

@physcoticnarcotic truezoo funny thing is `cuz` im from fucking australia so go fuck yor self fuck this gangster fucking wanna be fucking hesh law you cunt. i bet your some fucked up wanna thats dosnt know shit so dont fucking judge cunt.

[physcoticnarcotic]

@MRskaterble i never said anything about where you live, ok mate?? stupid mother fucker...and its cuz, as in because, nothing to do with gangster shit, so go choke on a cock and die you fucking faggot

[MRskaterble]

@physcoticnarcotic fuck you bitch you probay get drunk off the dick you fag. the mall your probs a yank or a wanna be one

[gamerGUY117NZ]

wannabe crail couch

[wrestlingwithmonkeys]

I'd like to hit a good bowl right now, and then skate all day. oh yeah

[xxpr1m1tiv3xx]

hahaha penny is fucking nuts yo

[DIBZ111]

mumble mumble mumble... cant understand shit

[lifebbz]

he sounds like he's holding a weed puff the whole interview LOL.

[DIBZ111]

@lifebbz proally is lol

[renegadestudio]

New Flip video next year?! Hell Yea!!!

[skateboard4zero]

I saw that cheecky hand on the wall there ;)

5:38

[Nanimargarita]

he's a long time junkie?

[Kneal2005]

@Nanimargarita Firstly he's a legend before I diss him (kinda) there were rumours when I was growing up that he stopped skating cause of party's/drugs and also due to not wanting the fame that he inevitably got. Rumours though not fact. Whatever it was he is still one of my fav skaters of all time.

[attjiujitsu]

Bacon sandwichesss

[jamiejamiejamiejamie]

tom continues to bring so much to skating

[MrDillburt]

He's speaking english but his accent makes everything damn near impossible to understand.

[jokamund]

He's been pop pin up in more places nowadays

[EvaUnitStu]

he sounds so mashed, top guy and skater

[Switchflip207]

Not gonna lie, time has not been kind to Penny. Hasn't lost a bit of style, and like a fine wine, only get better with age. Looks like a young Mick Jagger, though. Or a pirate.

[kriminalcollective]

Penny really isn't that old. When extremely sorry came out he was only 32, younger than Reynolds was in Stay Gold.

[schland9]

@kriminalcollective but reynolds is THE BOSS :) he never gets old :D

[skatemoode]

deadly serious

[Zanedamage]

this dude and andrew reynolds were the reason I started doing frontside flips too damn much back in the day

[OM3N1R]

Fuck If you had a chat in the pub with him his voice would put you off. I've been watching this guy skate since I was 13 and I am 28. Fuckin' headtrip it is.

[shingosk8r]

He made that 5.0 fakie look so easy theres guys at my park whove broken there arm trying that trick.

[dubified89]

Still sick as fuck though. Wouldn't it be cool if he joined the Street League tour and beat everyone?

[metalboard1]

tom penny ..

[hightilidie1]

whoever disliked this is a faggot

[killyourego1983]

@shingosk8r you sound stupid..are you stupid?

[Infernal9666]

he really is the godfather

[DarthRootz]

5 stars...

[Lichbones]

"...got about 2 minutes of footage so far for the upcoming Flip video that should be out next year"

yea!

[xXxTheSk8LifexXx]

wu-tang or the beatles?

WU-TANG 4EVER<33

[Paracelsus23]

Banksy and Tom Penny, elusive english geniuses

[Dantko1]

@Paracelsus23 kill banksy

[masonic87]

goosebumps....thats it

[jeremyshambles]

@masonic87 likewise, cheers from san diego

[hammeredbro95]

Great skater but I didn't know his voice was so deep o.o

[KEVXEDGE]

@hammeredbro95 The barry white of skateboarding...

[hammeredbro95]

@KEVXEDGE hahaha fosho

[theeturnone]

@hammeredbro95 his voice wasnt always that deep . .i swear it wasnt. . LoL. . it was probably 15 years ago the last time i heard him talk in real life. .maybe it was cause we were both kids. . LOL. . .all tat smoking must have had some effect to though

[hammeredbro95]

@theeturnone well yeah I can imagine. I mean seriously, it's REALLY deep. :p haha

[AntiCampingUnion]

@hammeredbro95

Probably because he smoked so much...

[tehgiles]

Actually, the "ashtray" was what the Warner Ave. crew called Murdy park, not HB high.

[TheChipAndSkip]

i want to skate with him man haha

[version191]

lol hes 34. dude looks like 45+. Time to quit smoking weed

[turb00]

@version191 sadly..i dont think hes just been doing weed. Look at the guys face, thats years of drug abuse

[dubified89]

@turb00 Yeah he looks like should have been born in '67 not '77

[zsinkydude]

no dislikes. 'nuff said.

[googlevideosrule]

stone faced

[SpitFire8212]

jesus, he is just 5 years older than me but he looks like 45.

[JeremySatan]

@SpitFire8212 He's two years YOUNGER than me and looks ten years older.

[ruggedouttechnicians]

WOW! It's been a long time coming!

[lyricallysikh1]

Living legend for sure!

[dOuPdMe]

for some reason the angle just makes him look like a hard ass. tom is sooo rad!

[moviedude22]

this is the sickest shit I've ever seen

[ambetanterik1981]

awesome to see this one.

lots of respect for tom keep it up man !!

[ThaiShortsWreckEm]

dude 34 is young in skateboarding especially the way Penny sk8's he kills it easily all the time, the master never loses his technique if he is the 1 that teaches it !!!

[BloodyHoneyBunny]

tom penny :D legend

[uhinmywhitetee]

thanks for all the memories tom

[Joetheguitargenius]

Legend I have one of his decks, it's epic!! And yea I think he's from around where I used to live!

[Talkofthatown919]

finally an interview with Tom

thank you for this

[gunfart]

omg that miniramp...

[SandiSkateboard]

he's creepy!



[HosannaSkurfin]

@SandiSkateboard stfu

[SandiSkateboard]

@HosannaSkurfin ?

[HosannaSkurfin]

@SandiSkateboard he aint creepy ur comment is creepy.

[brwnc]

@SandiSkateboard  drugs r bad mmkay

[metsoIomita]

I've been watching him skate for so many years in videos and this is the first time I've ever heard him speak more than a few words. Kind of surreal.

[bballboarder019]

@Xlolzorz Where did you hear this about Tom and crack?

[johnoXdamage]

@bballboarder019 i think hes talking about tom green

[stratify5]

You made my fucking day with this interview! I use to skate the old HB park, and yes Tom was there almost everyday.

[MAmoviesRS]

he lives in copenhagen now right?

[purefect]

@MAmoviesRS Barcelona!

[MAmoviesRS]

@purefect bam margera says he lives in copenhagen.

[purefect]

@MAmoviesRS He says in this interview that he lives in Barcelona! And I have friends that sees him everyday there. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe he's lying in this interview too!

[DeafMuteZombie]

huh?

[RaabBlog]

@Xlolzorz there are certain things people dont share with others. thats what im refering to when i say personal. i dont think he wants people knowing what drugs hes on. thats it. its like your not understanding what im saying lol. and im the retard? ok. go watch some TMZ if you wanna know whos on what drugs faggot.

[RaabBlog]

@Xlolzorz no they arent personal questions because they arent asking him what he does on his PERSONAL private time. end of story.

[ShredTheGnarz]

I dont want to be a dick but I cant understand him

[spankysteez]

@ShredTheGnarz He mumbles. Figure it out..

[RaabBlog]

@Xlolzorz these arent personal questions like asking if he does crack. I doubt he does anyway. I know he smokes dank and does shrooms but youd have to be the biggest moron to do crack. fuck bam. id more quickly believe that he smokes rocks than tom penny.You would have to smoke crack to want a gold dildo get forced up your ass (jackass 2).

[condomrap]

@RaabBlog Hahahahaha I think you're onto something mate , I can't think of any other reason why someone would have a gold dildo slingshot in their cornhole , what a fuckin' poof .....

[RaabBlog]

@condomrap Well it boils down to two reasons why someone would want a dildo in their cornhole: Either your a homo or your on crack. With bam it can go either way. or both ways!

[RaabBlog]

@Xlolzorz why does his personal life even matter?

[therunningmanlives]

anyone know his current sponsors?

[bballboarder019]

@therunningmanlives flip, mob, supra, kr3w, maybe ricta wheels? not sure about anything else

[arehumansgood]

what does he mean when he says ali went "smart". Is that a style? as in punk, hippie, and smart?

[jonnyd89]

@arehumansgood means he is dressing smart, simple as that.

[therunningmanlives]

wow never seen an actual interview with him before. cool guy for sure.

[thetrip]

Penny is a living legend

[rhdsir2]

I love the part in the ON video Carlsbad Gapissue when Jeremy Wray talks about Tom. He looks really old and sounds old when he's talking, then it showed him on the mini and he still skates the same. The drugs caught up to hm but not his skating. Much respect for Tom.

[series360]

He's pants look tight :0 well for penny they do

[MrPilestyle]

Is this real? I'm talking about penny, I always thought he was a halogram.

[alkashroom]

no offense, Tom Penny has been my best favorite skater for 11 years and had many of his decks that i wish i still have them, the best one was poppy flower, saying that poppy flower deck should reminds you old school skaters but anyway, i see that tom penny finally got his teeth fixed so he is comfortable to show his teeth when he smiles now. yea, he had the ugliest teeth, it was said in big brother by some asshole named dave carnie so i always knew why he never shows his teeth when he smiles....

[Ferndoggie]

@alkashroom HaHa yeah dude lots of the english blokes have problems with teeth... No biggy, America is just all braces and midevil devices with keeping the teeth straight. too bad for carnie, he can't fix his funny looking face but the beard helps to hide it! ;-)

[ImaBluntBeingSmoked]

dude just fucking killed that mini ramp

[shookstylez]

this is a good interview. Thanks a lot for doing this.

[bballboarder019]

He invented style. Nothing more needs to said of this legend. Keep it up Tom and go smoke that legend sack hahaha

[infinidominion]

Master Tomas Penny

[pizzaskate420]

i will always look up to this guy for what he did who he is now and what he will be doing when hes 50

[pizzaskate420]

wow speechless right now.... totally true ...the first real interview i ever heard of tom penny. Im so glad he kept it real over the years and kpet the same style and still is the same tom penny. Just brilliance on a skateboard period. A true genius and an artist in the true sense of the word

[cherryxbuddie]

Ive never heard his voice , until now haha

[hayabusax1]

Tom Penny still rips. That Thrasher firing line video was just a throwaway.

[plastillionaire]

BOSS OF ALL BOSSES

[DrTommyGouranga]

Gouranga, Penny is the mayne

[PeaHeadism]

@martinmerrywinkle He is like 40, he's been rippin most of his life. There's alot of talk about him being on mad drugs, but if you ever chill with the guy, you see that he just drinks and smokes alot. Pretty much like myself and every other skater i know.

[danmigno]

right on !

[patkagi]

So glad to see this.

[notdirty]

shot out

[martinmerrywinkle]

what the fuck...he looks about 50 and addicted to some kind of class A shit!! His skating's still good tho

[jonnyd89]

@martinmerrywinkle he doesn't look that bad, you should stop judging other people and sort your own life out

[SOUNDMODE1]

@martinmerrywinkle Shut the fuck up\!

[666ThaScarecro666]

Keep em coming junkyard. Penny did what no one else could or even thought of doing in skateboarding. Made himself a urban legend. lol. Fuck ya penny. Doing it for the streets

[BlastMasterDeph]

still runs it. thas wattsup.

[shellyD1983]

feel the bass! big up sausage and mash!

[4negri]

thnx for this.! 

[skaterchevy]

upcoming flip video next year? is this an old interview uploaded late or is there a new flip video in 2012? i'd be hyped to see more penny footage!

[skaterchevy]

@skaterchevy nevermind i watched the rest of the video

[dermannmitdernase]

"The art of skateboarding itself" is the motivation.

What an awesome statement. A lot of stupid kids don't get it and think it was about being an actor and having the best equipment but its not, so listen to Tom Penny kidz!!!

[fevans17]

Good Stuff Junkyard!!

[hoopflap]

Give us a smile Tom...teeth looking good.

[galtyyy]

Thank you Junkyard for having the first ever real interview of Tom Penny, and also thank you for the excellent questions. The one about Huntington Beach skatepark and the Muska frontside flips were great!

[DTuriTuri]

first

[FelleFlowify]

@DTuriTuri k bry. fresten det är fest hos mange också!
