- kernelpaniker, on 01/09/2009, -0/+9His frontside flips were the best... and they still are the best. If you dont know his stance you will be saying "oh... that was switch?"
- Exhessive, on 01/09/2009, -0/+8Arto, Arto wake up. Let's go skate.
- saichandtalluri, on 01/09/2009, -0/+7Nice Style
- word9995, on 01/09/2009, -0/+6Tom Pennys part in Es’s Menikmati
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbDe6WppaVU&fea ... - Cancerkitty, on 01/09/2009, -1/+6It was kind of strange how Tom ditched the skateboarding industry and took off to France for a good part of his career.
- BunnieLebowski, on 01/09/2009, -1/+6yeah at first glance i thought it said the astronomy of tom petty
- dynamiks, on 01/09/2009, -1/+6Tom Penny is the greatest.
I was repping Es hardcore in high school because of him. - algaeturd, on 01/09/2009, -0/+5Let this be a lesson to you kids, stay away from drug. Whoever said that pot won't hurt you professionally was wrong in Penny's case. Always a natural but lost it after he got into the harder stuff.
Such a shame. - matthewdestroys, on 01/09/2009, -1/+5one of my favorite skaters in middle school!
- CBOOTY, on 01/09/2009, -1/+5Tom Penny's good, but man this article isn't. Really, who talks about skating like this? It reads like someone was 500 words short on their sophomore English assignment and got out their thesaurus to make up the difference.
- h2g242, on 01/09/2009, -3/+7Definitely only clicked because I thought it said Tom Petty. AND I'MMMM FREEEEEEEE...
- dstamat, on 01/09/2009, -0/+4Infamous for his destruction of the Chain Bank in SD. Insane. His ollie half cab was epic. That bank is steep, as, *****. Was scared to walk down it ;)
- DubSnipe, on 01/09/2009, -0/+4After reading this, I just had to go out and skate. Hadn't done it in a while. Thank you, Digg!
P.S. Did a Power User submit this one? Caus I'd love to see it on the front page. - PhoenixFlames, on 01/09/2009, -1/+4Way to go Tom.
- seanbro, on 01/09/2009, -0/+3Tom Penny is by far my favorite skater. Here is a collection of his videos in chronological order:

It's cool to see his style developing as he got older. His part in Etnies - High 5 is probably my favorite. - louiebaur, on 01/09/2009, -2/+5THE GREATEST…ULTIMATE STYLE N TECHNIQUE…RESPECT TOM
- FaceCage, on 01/09/2009, -0/+3Damn the torpedoes!
- madcaps1980, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3What? A Tom Penny article on Digg?? HELL YEAH!! Tom is by far my most favorite skater of all time. As an ambitious kid I did my best to mimic his sleepy style and tried feverishly to perfect the perfect frontside flip such as Toms. All the people who say that Andrew Reynolds has the best frontside flip are the ones who haven't seen Penny's (or were born after 1990). When I was 15 (in 1995), I was lucky enough to meet both Penny and Muska at the same exact time at a demo and they were both really cool and even gave beer to my friend and I, what an unforgetable moment. Long live Penny!!
- Klak, on 01/09/2009, -0/+3i give all the credit to the fact that he smokes
- SneakyNinja, on 01/09/2009, -0/+3Is that last picture supposed to be shopped?
- TronUnlimited, on 01/09/2009, -2/+5I skateboard but I just don't see why the same shots at different locations by different skaters and/or different photographers continues to be amazing. Unless it's for self-gratification, it seems pretty old hat.
- pbone, on 01/09/2009, -0/+3Penny effin' rips. and he's so casual about it too. here's a rad feature on him in the Transworld Video "Anthology": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di9c3odrJ3c
- DubSnipe, on 01/09/2009, -0/+2It's just because skateboarding is beautiful, and for some of us, it will never get old.
- inactive, on 01/09/2009, -0/+2Fine I'll go look for a video of him myself
- inactive, on 01/09/2009, -2/+4Full Moon Fever was a great album.
- inactive, on 01/09/2009, -0/+2best one I could find:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNbh0VyeBU4&fea ... - Yimyack, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2Really? Oh I thought that pic in the little window was from the video Free Fallin'
I bet Tom Penny wishes he was Tom Pettycoat Junction Junction What's your function?
Schoolhouse Rocks ROCKS! So Does Tom Petty!
I don't know jack about Tom Penny.
Have a nice weekend! C U on the halfpipe or whatever you crazy kids are callin' it nowadays.
: ) - Yimyack, on 01/09/2009, -3/+5I'm a Bad Boy for Breakin' Her Heart
AND I'M FREE! Free Fallin! - LarsonLE, on 01/09/2009, -0/+2This is a skateboarder... not Tom Petty...
- ultraseamus, on 01/09/2009, -0/+2I have instantly taken notice.
- SneakyNinja, on 01/09/2009, -1/+2Right, I saw that, but the shadow on that guy is really distracting. If it was intentional I can sort of see the look they were going for. Otherwise, it looks like a contender for the "worst disguised PS images" award.
- dr0psy, on 01/10/2009, -0/+1the part where hes lit is where the flash hit him.. the black parts are blurrs because of the low shutter speed.. probably like 1/250
so its not shopped - orithidon, on 01/09/2009, -0/+1At least his limbs weren't accidently scrubbed
- shmike, on 01/10/2009, -0/+1seconded
- johnnylovitz, on 01/09/2009, -3/+4this guy has some serious steez
- orithidon, on 01/09/2009, -1/+1It was taken from an ad...see "All Photos Courtesy Kr3w Clothing"
- Corneileus, on 01/09/2009, -5/+5who?
- TheBogie, on 01/09/2009, -2/+2Has he moved out of his mother's basement yet?
If so, he is definitely a legendary skateboarder. He'd be the first one. - pstroll, on 01/09/2009, -12/+1pseudo sport for effeminate men
