The Zero Deck Tommy Sandoval Heavy Slime (8.5) pairs Tommy Sandoval's unmistakably fearless style with an unexpected blend of dark illustration and soft botanical artwork. The full bottom graphic features a pale mint background layered with oversized peach-colored California poppies and delicate green stems, creating a calm backdrop that sharply contrasts the central illustration. Riding through the middle is a skeletal horseman draped in flowing robes, gripping a flaming sword while mounted on a ghostly horse. Small hand-drawn details, including a burning house, crystal formations, and minimalist iconography, give the graphic an almost storybook quality while maintaining the gritty attitude Zero is known for. "Zero Sandoval" branding sits cleanly near the top, completing a graphic that balances beauty, chaos, and classic skateboarding aesthetics.
At 8.5" x 32.3" with a 14.5" wheelbase, the Zero Deck Tommy Sandoval Heavy Slime (8.5) offers a stable, confidence-inspiring platform for everything from technical ledge skating to charging rails, gaps, and transition. Constructed with standard layup maple and made in Mexico, this deck delivers the consistent pop, durability, and responsiveness Zero riders expect. Featuring full top and bottom graphics, every angle of the board carries custom artwork, while assorted color top veneers make each deck unique.
This signature model belongs to Tommy Sandoval, better known throughout skateboarding as "T-Gunz." Born in Chula Vista, California, Tommy built his reputation through relentless commitment and an all-or-nothing approach to street skating. His unforgettable video parts for Zero and Fallen Footwear showcased enormous stair sets, intimidating handrails, and impossible gaps that helped define an entire era of skateboarding. Off the board, Tommy's journey through personal challenges and long-term sobriety has made him an inspiration to many, demonstrating the same resilience that has always defined his skating.
Founded by Jamie Thomas, Zero Skateboards has remained one of skateboarding's most influential brands by staying committed to authentic street skating and uncompromising design. The Heavy Slime graphic offers a fresh interpretation of that identity, combining classic tattoo-inspired line work, mythological imagery, and botanical artwork into one memorable pro model. The contrast between peaceful floral elements and darker symbolism reflects the fearless mentality Tommy Sandoval has embodied throughout his professional career.
