When I was editing Menikmati, it was pretty cool to go thru old tapes containing Penny footage, that other people filmed... At the time of Menikmati, Tom was in a very dark period... Getty new footage with him was pretty much mission impossible. So we decided to use old archives for this part, whatever cool stuff we would find, then saving whatever new stuff for his Flip "Sorry" part... For this Menikmati part, I only filmed the switch front foot impossible on the hip!

I went to camp Woodward when I was around 14. I was wearing a pair of es shoes. I wish I could remember who it was but the team was there skating. this dude popped up onto the deck of a quarter pipe and said, "hey man nice shoes!" he took off and came back 5 minutes later with the menikmati DVD. I already had it on vhs lol but it was one of the coolest moments of my life. one of those moments that really made me feel like the guys in the videos I watch were just normal dudes like me. I love skateboarding

I remember watching this again after 10 years. Can't lie It hit my feels, Tom to me represents what was so special about skateboarding. So authentic and not driven by other worldy things. Skating used to be edgy, raw and like a dope underground community. He didn't hit crazy tech stuff like most Instagram skaters do now, but I don't need that because I'd gladly go back to the late 90s and 00s to relive this special time in skating again

the reason Penny doesn't make sense to the newer gen is they are used to a proper flick. Penny was pretty much the first to flick of his nose and bring the board up to the feet. That's a given now, but imagine if you'd never seen anyone flick anything other than mob and then bam, a proper flick. Mind blowing for those who were waiting on their one or two vids a year at the time, hard to appreciate now.

jeremyshambles not to mention when you look at clips as a whole or the big picture of it all his parts and segments of his parts are even in a perfect flow equal to his skating style the pace speed and aggressive approach seems like the outcome wouldnt be as it was...but penny himself willed so many landings and tricks down sets and gaps that blow even the best pros away every trick he landed at carlsbad was a roll away, every spot with a hard setup or landing was stomped by this guy he made near impossible spots look easy to skate thats why hes hailed as one of the most talented if people miss it its because theyve never seen some of these spots up close but carlsbad gap isnt a joke, among others and his tranny skills as well are top tier theres never going to be a skater that could transcend skating in all forms the way tom did...as clean as switch frontside flips are by most pros i think no ones will ever be as good as toms

I remeber that Penny wins the Mystic Skate Cup in Prague Czech republic back in 1996. In final round he landed only three tricks, because he only three trick try. And with these tricks he can simply win also the best trick contest. He stomped huge fs flip over central to the flat, take skate to the hand, came back up the bank by foot, then go to the central again with nollie bs 360 to the flat, turn around and same way he goes to the SS flip over central to the flat. After that he grabed board and lazy sitting down with crowd. Crazy and very impresive experience. This was exactly the point when "new school" skateboarding came to the central Europe :)
