Had some time so I gifed some of the ones mentioned but not shown in the thread
So great. Would you mind if I steal the first one for my signature? This trick means a lot to me as I was witnessing it when Penny did it.
Wait you actually saw him do it? That's amazing! I would love an eyewitness account of that session.
I am afraid there’s not much I remember, it was 25 years ago and my memory fails me. Anyway in the Summers of 1995 and 96 I was spending the holidays in Copenhagen with a few homies. We had this VW Van we could sleep in and parked it next to Faelledparken and skated all day.
One day the Flip team showed up for a demo. I don’t remember if this was in 95 or 96 but years before Menikmati came out. Obviously we all stanned Penny who was in his prime at that time, undisputed GOAT. However, I don‘t remember much of the demo except for this switch flip because the bank was insanely steep and it actually took Penny quite a while to get it.
I also remember Rune hitting the beer bong and then shredding the half pipe but that may have been another day as Rune regularly showed up with a few dudes. I have fond memories of these two Summers, CPH rules even if we only saw the skatepark and Christiania... which might explain my foggy memory lol. I also remember landing a nice FS flip over the funbox and Nicky Guerrero giving me props for it. One of my proudest achievements.
