Penny

Much more plausible

It was actually a dude called Chris Black (might be Andrew but deffo ‘black’) who filmed the stuff on high 5 over the san deguito rail - bam is talking about filming his own angle.

In related anecdotes - I once watched a video with Tom in it when he was really young and he reacted the same way as Bam recounted.

“No way that kid is sick!”

“It’s you Tom…”

Can someone link Bam’s angle? For a guy that has made a living putting out everything he has ever filmed. I just remember him being a super fan boy in the Landspeed CKY video (Tom Penny haunts me in my dreams, with a Penny Tampa pro clip).
Was he flow/am for Toy Machine in ‘95?

Chris Black? Pretty sure someone by that name features in the Tiltmode video (montage of course)

Actually no - it was Steve black - I think he worked for whatever that big sunglasses company was that always had fetish models in their ads later on…Black Flys maybe?

I was thinking if Penny has said the same thing about not remembering that a trick was him on at least three occasions that we have heard of in here alone (Bam, Anon and the Toy Machine clip), then surely he is just taking the piss?

Very probably

Penny’s 360 flips are so horizontal, they look pretty unique.

Does anybody know much about his early life? It says on Wikipedia that he went to the Dragon School in Oxford (super exclusive private prep school and feeder to big name public schools). Bit surprising..

Not surprising at all, if you have questions I can answer as best as poss.

That description about the Dragon is a bit reaching. It’s not super exclusive if you are smart, lots of scholarships etc

So he had a scholarship to go there? Where did he go to school after?

Did I once read, somewhere, that his mum was a skateboarder!?

Will get back to you today. His Mum didn’t skate as far as I know.

Tom had a scholarship to the Dragon and then went on to Cherwell school. @goldiewilson
