Tommy Smith grinded this Chula rail like nothin’. Funny thing is, he did like five other tricks no problem too. All within 10 minutes.

“This is Chula, bitch! There are cops everywhere,” joked Tommy after getting the boot for playing a game of SKATE on the sidewalk. He then proceeded to kid, “This is what my day is like. Just got some food. How you guys gonna film me take a nap until four?” Real talk. But seriously, it’s hard as hell to skate after takin’ down a whole pie.

“I like to drive my own car and listen to my music. It gets me hyped.” Tommy’s always in his Nissan Sentra with a couple friends, but the good thing about following him is you never lose sight…errr sound. You could hear the reggae tunes blastin’ from at least five—maybe six—stoplights ahead.

Ever wondered how your life changes after scoring your name on the bottom of a board? It ain’t all glamour: “This is what it’s like right here. The single life. Having your own place, doing your own dishes. Real life shit,” said Tommy while pit stopping to do chores around his one-bedroom Chula Vista apartment. Some things in life never change.

Tommy’s baby girl Della Hope Sandoval—named Della after his favorite reggae singer, Della Grant—usually cuddles in her crib right beside dad. And while he describes being a father as the best thing ever, it unavoidably increases day-to-day responsibilities. Luckily we caught him on his day off daddy daycare. “It’s my day to just skate.”

One of Tommy’s best friends works at Overload, the shop Tommy rides for, so we had to make the mandatory visit to say what’s up (gotta hook up the homeys, right?) and set up a fresh board. And in case you were wondering where to find more autographed Tommy pro models than you knew existed, Overload’s definitely the spot.

In the mornings it’s farmer’s market, but every Tuesday night during summer months Third Avenue hosts a little car show where you’ll find tons of scantily clad rockabilly chicks, perfectly restored vintage Chevys, and 1950s rock ’n’ roll blues shuffles. Oh yeah, you’ll also find Tommy and Della scopin’ the goods at either event if you’re lucky.

After skating all day and baggin’ a few tricks, Tommy called up his friends to get the night started at the San Diego Padres game. To the city of San Diego’s unwavering disappointment, they lost…miserably. To their credit, they probably just got extra nervous once they found out the local legend was watchin’ from the stands.

Born and bred in Chula Vista, just 10 short miles from the San Diego/Mexican border, Tommy spent most his childhood around downtown’s Third Avenue—whether it was skating the spots that lined the blocks, or eating at La Bella Pizza Garden. Whenever he’s home, it’s no different, which means we knew just where to find him.
