What is Tom Penny?
1.
Tom Penny (born April 13th 1977) is a professional skateboarder from Oxford, England.
He is very well known for his natural abilities in skateboarding. Tom has a very smooth, calm and almost effortless style of skateboarding that amazes anyone who watches.
He is currently on the Flip team along with other fellow pros such as Geoff Rowley and Rune Glifberg. His other sponsors include KR3W Clothing, Supra Footwear, Fury Trucks, Odessa Wristwear and Active Mailorder.
Tom has managed to stay out of the spotlight and big time fame of the skateboarding world, and for many years lived in St. Victor, France. He would rather be known as a legendary skateboarder, known for his style, and for breaking boundaries in street skateboarding, rather than someone who is overly commercialised such as Bam Margera and Ryan Sheckler.
Tom currently has a wife and a son (Nicholas) who was born in April 2003.
