Saw penny skate recently and hes still killing it... good footy of him is rare but trust, hes not lost it. Hes healthy, happy and skating when he wants... He might not be rich, which is kinda fucked up, but hes taken care of from what ive heard. Hell always be good
Marc Dunn From what ive heard, flip still pay him but hes not allowed to touch his own money. Pennys mental state is questionable, hes not crazy, but theres a good chance hes autistic or somethin. But yeah, hes got minders and shit, apparently if he gets drunk or high he can go missing and get into trouble... having met him a few times he does seem to be in his own world... But i know people who know him very well, still, and apart from still ripping, I know hes taken care of.. But hes defiitely not rolling in money like he should be. Hes up there with the Gonz and Mariano.. Gino.. Kareem.. Certified Legendary status
I feel like something happened to Tom. Something happened to him back before when the Flip team shot "Sorry." He didn't necessarily have his own part in that video. They went to his mom's house where he was living in the French country side, and they were there for him to motivate him and get him to skate. I believe French Fred said regarding his "Menikmati" part, that most of his footage from that part was old stuff, and there were only a few tricks that were moreso recent at the time of that video's release, and the reason why is because he was in a dark point of life, and that switch front foot impossible he did in "Menikmati" was him just messin' around. I can only imagine what it was. A relationship that ended, or someone beloved dying a death where it's like you're loved one is stolen from you. All in all, he reminds me of Pink Floyd. All the secret changes between songs, with English blokes in the background talking like on "Us and Them." Tom as well as Jim Greco have both been inspiring me like crazy this past year. I know I'll always skate into my 40's or 50's because of them. Quoting Jason Adams, "You didn't get quit skateboarding because you got old, you got old because you quit skateboarding." Greco is solid proof of that. That dude will be 40 this year and he shreds harder than when he was in his early 20's. I don't understand how the skate world doesn't burst at the seams with acclaim for Greco. The way Tom will always be taken care of, is the fact that skateboarding is like a church, and people will always see Tom as one of the old Padres. If you're a skater and you know Tom, who wouldn't offer up their couch for him? I don't know. I can't wait to shred with him unlimited in the pearly gates. No limit will be on him either. Tom is OG because he literally loves skateboarding. I feel some skaters actually become the same old people that shook their heads and never bothered to understand us. Tom is no hoodlum. Just looking at that dude you know he's got your back. Maybe Tom is filthy rich from skateboarding. The Cheech & Chong deck of his is Flip's most popular selling board. He's got a solid shoe sponsor. And if he is or isn't filthy rich, you know Tom man. He don't want vain hype. In the meantime, pray for his heart. Pray and give thanks to God for Tom Penny, for making life enjoyable for those who merely just happen to catch him Switch frontside flipping on flat. It really brings a smile to my face to see him kiss The Rosary.
@@orellisupplyl4178 he hurt his ankle b4 sorry and multiple addictions b4 sorry. So much good footy since 'prime Penny' imo. I have come to prefer it which I'd never thought I'd say. I missed the prime Penny for years so much that I couldn't see how amazing he was still.
Define rich? He travels the world skating and hangin with friends and just enjoying life..he sounds like hes filthy rich to me..there are somethings paper can't buy u know. I would do literally give anything to trade places with him..😅
People saying he ain’t rich bla bla . He’s rolling around the world every time I see him in a different country hanging out with people that share a common interest . Really enjoying what he loves . How is the man not rich. Might not be toe to toe in Versace driving Bentleys living in a mansion. But he’s life is richer than most . How many of you can say your doing a job you love and getting paid to travel and hang out with friends .
We need a long documentary of Tom Penny please!
Some day. But it has to happend eventually
