BFFS: Tom Penny 

I was aimlessly hoping that this series would never end. RIP to one of my favorite skate programs ever!

Some of the finest Skateboarding you'll witness / thanks Tom and thanks Fred

I always assumed Penny just landed everything first try.

This series was something special, ending it with Tom Penny was a great idea.

Lets all be honest, this is really the one BFFS we have been waiting for.

Fred what are you doing just putting this footage on here? Take all this footage of old flip days, get some interviews in order and make a documentary about this time in skateboarding and flip. Talk about them coming to the states, how popular the sorry videos were, Arto's injuries, Tom being over it and going off the radar, what they did to Bastien, what happened with Ali and Shane, Mark leaving, etc. This era of flip was when I was most into skateboarding and would love to see a behind the scenes of what went really happened to one of my favorite skate teams of all time. I mean you already have the footage you just need the interviews.

He has amazing board control, love to watch him skate

The footage of the fakie hardflip session at le dome is just amazing. And the bs flip and switch tre he does in the Adidas Superstars are absolutely perfect. Merci Fred!

flip sorry is one of the best thing ever happened to skateboarding

Ahh his shifty flips are so goood!!!

Those shifty flips are divorce your wife to marry a video of a shifty flip worthy.

Fred's unique filming and the whole teams style was just the best.

Me and my buddy drew used to watch menikmati and anthology all the time and wonder if Tom Penny ever falls lol . His flow looked so consistent and and of course seeing this now even his falls are graceful . Love all of this ❤️ thanks Tom for being you!!!

Thrasher should due a Hall of Fame type of conglomerate to honor the skaters that had good overall careers or had major influence in the culture itself. It would make up for those skaters that never won SOTY but still shredded. Idk just a random though

last BFFS, thanks for this insane serie Fred !! :D gonna miss this..

Tom was lookin too chill on the fake manual...I was like damn

This is the best shit I've seen in years. All hail Penny!

Thanks for all 2-3 years of those magnificient parts. Definately best raw parts ever seen in skateboarding. Always in my mind and in skateboarding history.

thank you thrasher and french fred for this amazing series

thanks so much for your efforts in sharing these indescribably brilliant visual treasures. tom inspired me to start skating and this video took me all the way back to the days of yore, when one could skate all day and night and do it again all summer long. cheers!

This was/is AWESOME. So much unseen Penny footy. For all you youngin's...Penny footage in the 90's was coveted by ALL. There really wasn't a shit load of footage, but when you saw any Penny clip, it was JAW DROPPING. Everybody loves Penny's style.His Flip industry section (411) His ATM Click friends section, Etnies High 5 (his most famous part of all time) His 411 part (like the first or second 411 vm part) was just legendary. There really isn't anyone this day and age where you see footy of him/her and are just blown away by the trick/style/and effortless look. When Penny was on film (or if you were lucky enough to see him in real life) you sat your ass down and watched wishing you could be like that on a board.

Merci Frenchfred de nous avoir fait partager ces magnifiques souvenirs !!!! En attendant la suite bonne route

it's really too bad, seeing this kind of makes me sad. I feel like this is the last good footage from Tom Penny. He was at his prime here and he had so much potential, and yet there was just so much drinking and drugs involved. Seems to me they were all having a good time, but also he seems a bit lost and trying to find a way and a place between all the madness. Imagine what we could have seen more from him... We all know how tragically it all wen't down, just I wished Tom Penny recovered from this all and found a better place to be in. Hope he is well.

No, Fred I'm the one thankful here for every footage you shared with us, thanks for filming in a unique style and for filming one of the best ones, it only take a kickflip shifty like that one to make me smile. Penny will always be like Davinci or Beethoven or nietzsche or Einstein of skateboarding who knows. And you were the to get his best tricks/moments on flip career, etc So thank you Fred. You are always welcome where I live.

Penny,Muska,Reynolds....best street skaters of my day....wish I still had those brown es like Tom. Damn I'm getting old

Always love watching Penny footage. The king!

Oh my god this was so great, I can't stop watching! Thank you so much Fred!

Thanks, Fred for all at the rawness! Inspirational stuff... Every, single episode! Hope to see more in the future on your personal channel.

I kinda enjoy watching these videos more than the newer stuff

man i had so much fun watching all these videos Fred thank you so much again!

Thanks for all the amazing episodes

Aaah, "le dôme" à Paris ! Ce spot me rappelle des souvenirs de quand j'étais jeune ! :-)

Man! So much raw Sorry footage, brings back some memories!

Tom Penny the legend

Seeing Tom actually fall is so weird, haha. Great video.

the skate shoe. golden age.

those white and red kostons (at least I believe they are kostons?) and that one dudes marc johnson emericas are giving me some nostalgia. Thanks for the awesome series Fred.

Thrasher refers to itself as The Bible and yet J Wray, Penny, and Guy never won SOTY.

Hell of a way to end BFFS with Penny, nicest style

Still a fucking legend .. One of the best to ever do it .. Tom Penny.

Shiney Shiney...

livin in his own penny world

One of the best styles ever

The front nose to fakie down that hubba at 1:25 is so incredibly sick. Its skating ilke this that makes Tom Penny a true genius in every sense of the word. So sutble that kids nowadays don't even ctach how gracefull tom penny is. Look at the arm movment his right arm when he lands fakie!!!!.

Oh man takes me back to the meinikmati days and sorry days ...'Es video was the first skate video i ever saw , arto Saari's part is def my fav

Seriously, that fakie inward heelflip at Le Dôme is crazy !

I get those giggles and sore cheek smiles when he keeps landing trick after better trick, after insane trick after unbelievable trick after etc etc....... And the no music Is the best music to me.

Let's all take a moment to admire Tom Penny's late hardflips

Tom Penny OG!!!!! His cheese and chong is still the best board graphic ever.

I enjoyed this way way too much, love the style,

Tom Penny + red and white es Koston 3's fire!

TP the OG is blessed. Lets just enjoy the natural talent brings the interpretation on all terrains.

1:22 Oh that got me right in the bollocks...

See in hom sk8 will never get old

I’m so in love with those old es Koston model shoes

Shout to Fred for having made the best web series around!! :D

Thanks, Fred.

I love how Ali was Piss Drunk even though the rest were all BAKER. He stayed loyal to Flip. Two of the best Skate crews ever.

One of the best to ever do it. steezy.

The only person in the world that could make a nollie inward heel looks beautifull.

0:38 that’s a Jeremy Klein type spot. I love Tom penny.

I love how Ali and Tom kicked it, 2 different styles in FLIP. Skateboarding brings that together.

this was all still after his prime. 93-97 he was a terminator on a board. i remember when his sorry part dropped i was pretty disappointed. it was subpar compared to the stuff he was doing when he first came out to the states

thank you thank you soo much !

thanks french fred, this series was the shit man!!

finally Tom penny

Always loved french freds clips

Yes the BFFS I've been waiting for!!!!

top ten most influential skaters of all time!

3:11 top shifty flip in the biz, 3:18 clearing that pyramid switch tree flip easy, this guy...

Wow you're a true skater Tom Penny, so courageous and persistent, even into older ages.

Yes. Been waiting for this.

Your killn itttt!!!💯

He's been a good skater for a long time.

Au-delà de son talent c’est un bon gars

What a hero

These clips remind me of watching metekimati and sorry back in the day

Even his bails are smooth.

That was rad.

I lost it at Ali casually cruising around in his boxers

I’ve just realized Tom penny is human. Nuts.

I haven't seen one of those independent decks in over 10 years.

Amazing

3:39, the Ollie no angle correction slide down to flat was in the words of Mark Suciu " tasteful" The choice to do it that way makes this line that much better Edit, this footage seems to be the last batch of penny footage where 1. Is closet to pre hiatus classic penny style and 2. Before you could tell his age like the rings of a tree with how little by little his pants size added a layer of baggy year after year, it would be fascinating to do a geological study on his pants and make a topological map

Dope ass edit!

TP flexing the skate brain.

Damn I miss those K3's

Those fucking k3s are some of the most dope shoe known to man.🙏

may well have started meditating on that fakie manual at 5 :27

Impossible at 3:04 best i have ever seen

Nice video

So Epic! Shit gives me goosebumps

Who’s more hip hop than this white guy from England n a skateboard Mans a legend. Respect due

Ali Boulala lmfao...Tom Penny freakin Legend

5:03 has to be the Geoff rowley Motörhead board

Penny 4 ever

Some of Tom Penny's style here reminds me a lot of how Tiago skates now.

the goat 🐐

I just want another pair of those 'es penny 2 boots.

Does anyone know what white and red shoes hes wearing in the kickflip over the box?
