Stolen from Slap

On the subject of Penny stories, I got one that ties in with a recent CultOfTom insta post. He does a massive frontside flip over a pyramid with a backpack on.

A young Tom Penny shows up at a shop demo for Becker Surf n Sport way back in like 1995, and he’s with Chad Muska. The two of them are immediately searching for a place to drink and smoke. They can’t do it in front of the security guards and parents in stuffy Orange County, so the only place for them is down the side of this big grassy slope. They had to stash their alcohol and bong in a backpack. Everybody wants Tom to skate but for most of the demo he’s just tucked away down the side of this grassy slope just enjoying nature, getting high and drinking beer!

Finally near the end of the demo, someone propped a small spine ramp on top of the pyramid and people were trying to do their enders for the crowd. Tom spontaneously grabs a board and still with his backpack on that he was hiding beers/bong inside, without any warm up, he launches that giant frontside flip over the whole god damned spine. The whole place went apeshit. It was levels above what people were used to seeing. And someone captured that magic moment on video.

Stoked he is getting hooked up, but I cant help but think sole tech should of got him back in their camp.

And those shoes are looking more like DCs every time I see them.

Theres something about Penny having to deal with Kelly Hart at éS, if he went back, that doesn’t work in my brain.

He’ll be on sole tech when he’s in his 50’s and he’s just cruising around

DC Spectre with a jazzy sole

Found a 90min Hi-8 tape that I thought was the Raggy ‘Juice’ video master years ago.
Finally looked at it last night, turns out it contains a load of raw Tom footage from that era.

Insert chest of gold emoji.
Will capture and share when I have time.

Sick!!!

It’s like the skate equivalent of finding a load of bitcoin on an old hard drive .

Not super remarkable but a solid couple of Tom clips I’d not seen before here:

also, this clip with a nice nollie fs shuv at the end (mad how in the first trick the shock of the slam momentarily wakes Tom up)

Good bit on Penny in this…

voodoo · March 31, 2021, 9:17pm

Weirdly weren’t they the shoes in the video (he’s not wearing) that were meant to be his first pro Etines but éS started or was starting? I had a pair or have I got them mixed up with some other shoes?

Insane stuff in this one

andy_smoke · April 9, 2021, 2:49pm

his lip tricks are beyond fluid

nazoreth · April 9, 2021, 2:59pm

that might be some of my favourite Penny footage. there’s so many little things in that that are SO SO good and done so nonchalantly that you barely notice on first viewing

Spanky · April 9, 2021, 3:28pm

People go on about the other tricks all the time but that rewind is the absolutely most amazing rewind anyone has done ever

Please rewatch it (it’s at the end anyway) and watch that fucking rewind

nazoreth · April 9, 2021, 3:46pm

oh is that what that’s called

about half way thru he does a fakie pivot to fakie and it’s so good. the last thing he does, is that the rewind? like a fakie five-0 to regular?
