    This man is the epitome of style. Not only his skating and dress, but his attitude. The reason he was so cool is because he never tried to be cool, he just was and everyone recognized it. He truly is a once in a lifetime individual. God put this man on earth to show people what skateboarding is in its purest form. He is an artist, an anomaly, and a poet on wheels. He was the bridge between old school and new school, vert and street, the undisputed 🐐 of skating. Bravo Tom! 👏

    Dude is like the Biggie/Bobby Fischer of skateboarding. I heard a story of him in the 90s doing a demo in a warehouse on a mini ramp when the power went out and you couldn't see shit, but everyone could still hear his trucks on the coping, popping and rolling around, and when the power came on, he was mid frontside flip. Legend has it skating with his beanie so low it covered his eyes he got aclimated to skating with limited to no vision.

      +Carlo Von Sexron The analogies make sense, I'd go with classical like Vivaldi or Tchaikovsky, cause it's just ultimate skating that will stand the test of time. Balanced, not too little or too much of anything (maybe one too many frondside flips, but come on, his frontside flips are all worth a replay or 10), always perfectly natural, that's a Penny video part.

    Tom Penny put the soul into skateboarding, he skated for the love and passion. That's why it came so effortless. Most skaters nowadays skate for the fame and money, Tom Penny on the other hand left America to escape that. Skaters nowadays don't care how a trick looks as long as they get it and they can brag about it.

    I was lucky enough to live near Radlands when it first opened in 1992 and Penny and the, then, Deathbox team (Rowley, Glifberg) were down there quite a bit. Watching Penny skate was stay with me forever, he was something else, standing out even when amongst a group of America pros in the few international comps they had there.

    Nobody does it better
    Makes me feel sad for the rest
    Nobody does it half as good as you
    Baby, you're the best
    I wasn't looking but somehow you found me
    I tried to hide from your love light
    But like Heaven above me
    The spy who loved me
    Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
    And nobody does it better
    Though sometimes I wish someone could
    Nobody does it quite the way you do
    Why'd you have to be so good?
    The way that you hold me
    Whenever you hold me
    There's some kind of magic inside you
    That keeps me from running
    But just keep it coming
    How'd you learn to do the things you do?
    And nobody does it better
    Makes me feel sad for the rest
    Nobody does it half as good as you
    Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best
    Baby, you're the best
    Darlin', you're the best
    Baby, you're the best
    Baby, you're the best
    Baby, you're the best
    Baby, you're the best

    proof that style is everything for me anyway....isnt the most tech doesnt go the biggest doesnt skate the fastest....but its beautiful to watch this guy cruising round doing what today are considered basic tricks.....artistically this guy for me is the best but not the best to others but thats ok some people like davinci some like picasso but they are all different and in different ways just as good and better and less good and everything in between....guy reminds me of bob ross painting hes not picasso or davinci but you just know he loves it and it makes you like his art more

    beautiful scenes in order, tom penny made all tricks look so easy.. he blew everybody's mind out in 90's so he is truly the legendary.. if you want to be legendary, go kill 11 tricks down san diego bank in 5 minutes, if you land a kickflip then you have to do switch kickflip on your next attempt, you have to do switch on every trick you land on tricks like tom penny did in this.. so he is the best legendary skater ever even he's ranked over natas kaupas and mark gonzales and the mini-ramp master

    Haslam is fucking amazing and one of my favorite modern skaters, but it's all about the style and ease of how Penny skated back then. They're two completely different styles of skating. Just look at Tom's 5/0 to front truck tap on the mini ramp, it's just effortless natural talent that no skater since has had. You can't practice that..

      its called 'on the other side of the sky' by caprice sheridan or something like that. she changed her name though and has a different 'stage' name now. it was from the credits section of the 2pac 4eva DVD, a documentary about tupac and this song i believe was made for it, so the lyrics might make the most sense with that interpretation.

And that tune at 2:11 just wouldn't be tolerable if it was someone like Danny way or Nyjah or any one else skating because it would sound kind of gay in my opinion. DJnedKnowledge422 done well.
