TOMMY SANDOVAL | ON THE OTHER SIDE | MINI DOCUMENTARY

[@lasmluclasm3781]

Man im so glad he is opening up and loving himself a little more. Tommy Sandoval is an absolute legend. He will always be respected and remembered. To know someone who has struggled so hard can still get so far with his talents has inspired me in the darkest times and kept me going. I know it sounds cheesy as fuck.I dont how else to express who i feel about icons like Tommy. Much love Tommy thank you for existing.

is this channel exclusivly trans skateboarders?

[@tristinwrenn1723]

there’s something about a pair of fallens and a zero board that makes skating so much better. respect to tommy he is one of the greatest

Hell yeah

I LOVE FALLEN shoes, PATRIOT CRIMSONS all day

Stay strong. Incredible.

[@troypeterson6057]

Congratulations man. Same here, 8 years. Best decision I've ever made. Clean, clear, focused. *Edit - just checked out your channel. So fucking cool! Cheers!

[@davidwasneverthere9301]

Going on five years not looking back.

[@CaptMang]

This is really cool to see. I'm five months sober, and watching this definitely gave me a boost. Gonna go skate, bye.

This was beautiful. Tommy has always been one of my favorites, so glad to hear he got sober. About to hit 6 months myself soon, best decision I have ever made.

[@TransWorldSKATEboarding]

Hell yeah! Keep it going brother.

[@shedendhayzer]

All power to you, its not easy 🙏🇮🇪

[@GuruuGames]

Good luck, Tommy! Much respect for the journey. Stay healthy.

[@skate_health7319]

Most of us took on skateboarding to run away from something as kids... as grown men now is nice to stop running and enjoy it for what it really is.

[@jkm3297]

Nicely said man

[@dillpickle2712]

Damn bro that's so deep TY🙂

[@shieldlessmag]

TGUNZ reppin' for SD since day one. He deserves way more credit than he's been given. FS flip a 21 stair, enough said.

[@monkeywrenchdesignshop7856]

Hell yeah! I've always thought he should've won SOTY. A couple different times. But still, one of the best! Great job Transworld.

[@zeppelin695]

I think it's kind of like Cole said in this video, some legendary skaters only put out a few video parts, and some legendary skaters never win SOTY.

[@sk8er7455]

He got robbed with the damn it all part. I thought for sure he'd win SOTY

[@Mac10Demarco]

sk8er7455 I thought his part was good BUT his part in Damn it All was underwhelming compared to his other parts. His parts in Cold War, LRG video, Ride the Sky and Road Less Traveled were way heavier.

[@sk8er7455]

He's a really thoughtful guy! Can tell he's extremely intellectual when he approaches the subject. I dealt with the same toxic sickness of burying my trauma with alcohol. Still working on forgiving myself for my past. Easier said than done.

[@ZoSo889]

Most righteous Tommy! Keep blazing on the path you're on. Thanks TWS, this content amongst your other greats makes isolation not so miserable.

[@TransWorldSKATEboarding]

Thank you.

[@tastywavesbro]

30 days sober tomorrow. I keep walking the line and falling off, had 129 days before I fell off the wagon. I felt so ashamed of it that I kept drinking and making bad choices. I'm back on the wagon, I'll have 30 days tomorrow and I am going to keep it up. This is super inspiring to watch because it helps all of us who seem to have gone down the same path as skaters. Tommy is an amazing human and even more to realize it was time for a change. Thanks for creating this TWS!

[@michaelGreen-uj2hg]

Fucking love you dog-no homo

[@feiomaskatista]

B-E-A-S-T! Every time I heard about him I remember one trick on Ride the Sky. He was skating at a parking lot and landed a 180 ollie between a wall and a tree and after at full speed a half cab, both of them on a huuuge gap. I love that video.

[@triplflip900]

The way that clip is filmed makes it so good too. I can still remember my 13 year old mind being blown. I couldn't understand how someone could go that big twice in the same line.

[@riffamilanesa]

The evolution is constant Tommy Sandoval is a inspiration to the others generations...the skate always shows the way...so thanks here from Brazil

[@dmoneymagic9139]

I live by Mexicali and it was dope to see tommy tearing up the area and clearly giving positive skate vibes to the community, probably one of the first pro skaters to do that. Glad to see him shaping up his life and getting sober too been a long time fan

[@BrandonHanson]

I was always a fan of his tricks. But also to know he'll be there for his kids, make life changing decisions, and always being a humble individual. He will truly have golden years ahead for himself. Thank you Transworld for releasing this gem.

[@mjy63086]

As a sober skater, this was extremely motivating and inspiring! Keep it up brother, ODAAT

[@kylemcw8301]

This was an amazing insight that I wasn’t aware of. Tommy’s are My favourite FS flips in the game!

[@carlosantonioreyes6884]

Thank you tommy for going out to Mexico and simply just inspiring kids over there to start skating. Bless

[@lices]

Maybe One of the greatest! For sure one of the gnarliest ever!

[@spencerkimura]

one of the gnarliest dudes ever. That front side flip is so good

[@g-cloud4599]

Tommy has always been an absolute favorite of mine because of his passion and how insanely good he is, so glad hes getting some more recognition as time goes on, truly a hall of famer easy.

[@3264-m3b]

What an awesome dude. It's never easy to change yourself, especially when you're trying to abandon harmful but blissful things for the better. I'm happy for you and your family, Tommy.

[@robertwilder8515]

Awesome story Tommy is gnarly. I'm a cancer survivor and trying to find my place in skateboarding. Skateboarding has been there for me and I feel the need to return the favor.

[@kevinhess1685]

Front lip in Madison in his Ride The Sky part is to this day one of the gnarliest tricks I've ever seen. Stay healthy and keep plugging Tommy!

[@brawldawg8729]

Love and respect. Tommy, thank you for being you today, and for fighting so hard as you've come to this part. We live, we learn and we grow - oftentimes it hurts the whole way. But the smiles... the smiles make it all worthwhile!

[@nowheremanr1077]

This guy is a legend one of the best skaters in the world. Good to see him on a good path.

[@barrs3515]

Best skate shit I’ve seen in a WHILE. June 1st made 2 years sober for me bro. My Dad (alcoholic) always told me “Its a good life” but I didn’t believe him...I thought it had to be SO boring. Turns out he was RIGHT, it IS a good life and it’s kinda cool to be able to remember what happened “last night”. 🙏💪❤️

[@THUG_LIFE4LIFE]

That was truly inspirational man. Once u get caught up in drinking its eats away at you. Just Tommy I was able to give up the alcohol after 20 years.

[@fgDAB]

Thomas Pynchon - Cool, good luck.

[@macflow14]

@Thomas Pynchon that doesn't make any sense

[@josearteaga9667]

@@macflow14 it does to me I'm trying to quit drinking I'm 32 and been going hard non stop since 27 and basically he means hes loyal to alchohol and it wouldnt be honorable to the loyalty that alcohol has to him for always been there in the worse of times to numb the pain

[@anthonystark5088]

I don't really get the drink, become alcoholic, get sober mentality that I've been witnessing a lot in the US. It seems like it’s always about the extreme. Could it be because of the 21 drinking age policy? When I look at how myself and people around me were brought up with alcohol in France, it was more about enjoying the quality and the flavor of the drink then getting drunk. We were all tasting our parents’ champagne and good wine from 10 and on. Although, we were no saints, at 16 we were getting thrashed, but by the time we were 20-21, we were all drinking responsibly (not every day, within our limits and never just to be drunk). What is your opinion on that? I feel like the 21 drinking age policy in the US is such a highpoint that, past that day, people go 100 % into drinking and develop extreme habits. In the case of T-Guns, I think that the professional skateboarder life is also a huge factor that cannot be undermined (no clocking in for your job, good money, semi-star status, traveling…)

[@fomobros2207]

I got to meet Tommy and the Fallen team a few months before New Blood came out. He signed a poster AND signed my T-shirt with “Die Trying”

[@rubenscavarra3297]

Skating since 1983 (roller skates trucks and wheels and a home made deck), got some sponsors , had a chance to do demos and meet so many great skaters from different Countries. Never drank or smoked and didn't judge who did, but damnnnnn....... lost the count how many of them fell on drugs and drinking. Sad to see them not skating anymore and trying to fight the addiction. I am 48 now , still skating a lot and seeing the new ones doing the same thing (specially the drinking )! Really hope that this video open some young ones' eyes!

[@maxim.horoshilov]

I felt that at about 10:25 I lost my dad to cancer and he never drank or smoked anything. Me on the other hand.. Keep shredding Tommy!

[@phillipkwon3397]

Fortunate enough to have seen this dude shred my local skatepark. I really got into skating when I started going to Chula Vista skatepark years ago and then again much later at Memorial skatepark after years of skating on and off. Now seeing this video with cameos from local skaters and shops in my area is super sick

[@criscunningham105]

Transworld... this is spectacular! MORE of this kind of content. SOOOO Goood...

[@xxnf99987]

Growing up skating in Chula Vista, Tommy was always one of our heros

Thank you Transworld. Tommy Gunz has always been my favorite skater.

[@jerryprince5337]

I grew up in Chula and I was in middle school when Tommy started blowing up. Seeing that dude skate at CVS and around the city was intense dude just ripped so fucking hard. He was/is an ABSOLUTE LEGEND and the main influence of every Daygo kid with a board

[@bright.light.sights933]

Two Guns Tommy is one of the best. Keep rollin bro.

[@VARzeledon]

Love that he’s evolving to make himself better. Also for his kids

[@awakeinsd]

This video and all the comments have blown me away. I used to work for Aaron Andersons (one of the 1st dudes interviewed in the vid) dad's tile company. Tommy and Aaron were my helpers. His brother Tyrone worked there also. I knew he blew up over the years, but not like this. Fuck yeah Tommy. We would tile homes in the new housing tracks that were everywhere back then, so imagine a brand new home that's 70% finished. One day as we're packing up to go home, Tommy says he can do a backflip off one of the walls. He didn't pull the backflip, but did put a huge ass hole in the wall. Listening to him try and explain to the super why there was a fucking hole in the wall was hilarious. "I was uhhh... I mean I was... I kinda slipped... I'm sorry". Respect homie

[@tylergriegos993]

Very good.... Hearing the wanting to get sober part from another skater and partier helped my view. Im not alone in the way I feel n can do it if Tommy can!👍💯

[@OfficialBloodrunner]

Good to see. Iv dealt with the same issues myself. It's not easy

[@alexanderdavid8441]

very helpful, good message for young skaters out there.

[@Spaghetti_Mercury]

He became one of my favorite skaters when I was a teenager because someone pointed out that I looked like him. I kind of did then. Now, I’m starting to think we might honestly be related. Everything from the partying, to the way he talks, to the hair, to the inability to grow facial hair that doesn’t look regoddamn diculous lol. Only difference is I’m not able to shred the way he does. Phenomenal skater!

[@arcticsmoke302]
