The Tommy Edison Experience I love you Tommy, this was a great video. Truly badass
The Tommy Edison Experience take him sky diving
I thought it should be impossible, but ur actually brave enought
The Tommy Edison Experience I love you
8 and 1/2 minutes of awesomeness! :)
Four minutes in and Tommy's already gone farther on a skateboard than I ever have or will.
K. W. Same
😂😂😂
K. W. oh same ....😔
Why, its fun
Imagine tommy ripping through the streets of new york on that thing Casey Neistat style, holding his cane in front of him. He'd get a lot of looks, thats for sure!
007K haha, If only he had daredevil powers.
007K lol tapping cars with is cane as he thunders through the streets xD
+JB Brickman lol
Ahhhh!! This turned out so amazing. Thanks for having me guys :)
You're a great teacher
Thanks for sharing the stoke Sara! Nice job Tommy, you nailed it. #BoostedBoards
You're such a genuinely good person. Keep doing your thing Sara!
Sara Dietschy peep jhon hill @3:20
i came here not knowing John Hill's gf is on here
I love Tommy Edison so much! He is always so positive, what a great man! I wish him all the best
tommy should visit finland
pronikke he totally should
I'm voting for that!!
when he was skateboarding, it reminds me of my dad, he's not even blind
I was really afraid that Tommy would fall. I just don't want an amazing UA-camr like him to get hurt.
I was so scare the entire video since the intro was him about to fall,Glad to see our boy is doing well!
Look out, Casey Neistat.. got a new guy in town!
Haha, YES!
adam mac lol knowing him hell be on some new kinda board by now.
The Gamer Dragon Haha true story!
adam mac
people have been skating way before Casey
The Legend34 Thanks, Capt. Obvious.. it was a joke.
Sara really is a good instructor. I watched this and was impressed how she was so in control and confident throughout the entire video. At no point was I worried for Tommy all that much because of Sara.
Tommy you make me smile so much, man. you're just such a genuine and happy guy and I have nothing but respect for what you do. I'll be watching your videos as long as you make them. keep rocking on!
Tommy, good to see you got that "keep your knees bent" concept. Because of that, I think you were more in control of the skateboard than many people who stiffly get on one for the first time and can't react to its wobbling.
I was so scared for Tommy😬 I was on my toes the whole time;) Love you Tommy, and your videos!
Anyone notice john hill in the back?
Mystogan .Ravenheart was that the guy in the pink filming? i thought it was just some guy vlogging filming lol
Mystogan .Ravenheart now i have to check his channel!
omg I thought I was the only one! Is it a coincidence or does he just appear anywhere skateboard-related?
John is Sara's boyfriend, Razzi.
Mystogan .Ravenheart yea, at the start of the video was wondering if he was ganna help or show up
I love Tommy, he is always most up-for-anything and just radiates happiness. Sara was great as well, and I agree she could probably teach anyone, blind or not, to feel comfortable going outside of their comfort zone!
I'll like just to say this: I'm so glad I ever found your channel, you're just a source of inspiration for showing us the little pleasures that life give us everyday, thank you men for all that you showed us. With love from Brazil.
I found your channel yesterday and have binged nearly every episode since. Ben please let Tommy know that his videos have not only educated me on blind people but have also made me so much more appreciative of the sense that I take for granted. Thank you for the wake up call.
Tommy, you did so fantastic! What a joy it is watching you ride the board. You are an inspiration.
I love to see you doing these new things (to you). Your reactions are the best!
Sarah seems like such a genuine person, such a beautiful soul. I can't help but smile every time I see her face. Awesome Collab!
this was such a fun video! good work Sara & Tommy! :)
I freaking love Tommy!! 💗
I've been watching both of these channels as well as John Hill and I'm super psyched on this! great video
This man is just so inspirational. Im a guy that has a lot of fears, but Tommy is just living his life at the max with the obvious obstacles. Your the best!
This is simply AMAZING!!!😀✌ Congrats 4 the channels!!!! I'm loving it!! Hi from Italy 🇮🇹
it was great watching you experience a boosted board. i love your content and this was great!
It's amazing to see that a man is having the full experience without being able to see, liked and subscribed
I just discovered your channel and love it. I have so many questions! lol. Will keep watching some old videos n to see if some of my questions get answered! I just love your attitude and exuberance!
That's nuts dude :) it's way harder to balance with eyes closed than open for us, if you stare at something stationary it helps us keep balance. For dancers when they're doing repeated turns they do something called spotting, where they turn their head around faster than themselves and lock their eyes on the same place after each turn to help stay balanced. You did crazy well is all I'm saying, color me impressed.
Tommy=Daredevil
OMG This was the best colab on this channel you shud do more videos with her
"The thing I always tell people: It's like drivin' an SUV, you just got a little bit more behind you." - Tommy Edison, 2017
Wow, this sure reminded me of my childhood. I used to spend HOURS on my skateboard just riding around the neighbourhood. Fun times! Seems like Tommy enjoyed himself too.
This was brilliant! I was grinning all the way through and so happy for Tommy.
Tommy is so happy and genuine I love it! Cool experience!
She seems super nice!
*Doing something for the first time*
Other people:oh sounds amazing lets do it man!!
me:oh shit im gonna fuck it up so badly i just know it :(
USSR Gaming are you pessimistic
Taking the opportunity to fail is the only way too succeed.
This video is quality entertainment! I'm marveling at how brave Tommy is! And how well he did
Incredible seeing you ride skateboards at the LA Courthouse ledges, Tommy! John Hill is an inspiration and is who got me started on finding and watching youtubers like you and Sara almost a year ago. Great collaboration idea, it's surreal seeing these worlds collide. Tommy, you're wonderful and have an incredible life. A question for you Tommy, have you ever ridden on a tandem bicycle? Would love to see that be your next adventure.
My dad taught me how to skate when I was 6 and I've been skating for about 20 years now! I love it!
Thanks manga lloyd
This was so heartwarming and sweet!! I loved it. Sara and Tommy had a nice chemistry hehe
I love how you just have fun, Tommy. Good onya mate, hope they sort out the views for you!
I've watched both your channels and I never thought you'd both collab.
Dude where he almost goes over backwards is tension as but Tommy nails the dismount like a pro! Kinda jealous... whenever I am on a board I end up falling off in the most epic of ways without even having tried moving yet and I have the advantage of sight haha
jhon hill in the background 3:19
I already know what his new video will be about :)
Nice catch!
Doron Paz jhon
You are so brave! I do downhill skateboarding and I did a little ad for boosted boards last year and I was terrified, mind you I was skating the San Francisco hills, but trusting an electric board was so scary I feel so much safer power sliding than using that haha.
you two are both my favourite youtubers so a callab is fantastic!!!! dream come true!
Awesome video Tommy! Very entertaining.
I love your videos! they allways make me happy!
OMG all I kept thinking was "I hope this isn't Tommy's last video" ...please don't crash! Hahahaha :)
John in the background being such a supportive dude
I see John Hill professional skateboarder in the back, Also Tommy did great and you were so good at showing him Sara. Great video.
Loved the video. I have been sunmbscribed to both you and Sara for a while now.
6:10 "look, look!" Oh wait...
Im coming from Sara's channel! Hahaha love your content!!! Such good vibes 💕💕
love it don't let anyone drag you down keep it up
3:35 When he said that, I fully expected him to end with "Because I can't"
Each time this channel uploads, I appreciate my eyesight more and more.
Its sad when a blind guy can out skateboard me.
In fact it's kinda awesome
it should motivate you. so easy a blindman can do it.
Loved the video Tommy!
great video, I was so excited for you! how fun.
Tommy! You should try riding a tandem bicycle! You'd definitely feel the breeze there. Basically it's a bicycle built for two people and the front person steers while the back person is like an additional engine, so you could easily be the back person.
It's interesting how he moves his arms when he's about to fall, just like they do it in the movies for comedic effect. Does that mean that it's some kind of instinct, since he's obviously never seen anyone doing it?
probably
TheLuckyDawg24 it's just a natural reaction of your body by trying to shift your weight by moving your arms and changing your center of mass so it's easier to stay balanced
TheLuckyDawg24 it's an instinct, trying to balance yourself.
Gymnasts do the same on beam, it's an instinct. ...something you don't even consciously think about.
As far as I know rotating your arms creates angular momentum in one way which makes your body spin the opposite way. And btw there are many things like that like raising arms as a signal of victory (there's a picture of a blind athlete doing it after winning an event on the paralympics, and he's never seen anyone raising their arms).
sarah is such a great teacher! weoww! Good job on going farther on a boosted than I ever will :D
This was so cool!! Go Tommy! :D
this was such a fun video! got a new subscriber!
He said "It's fun, when you start feeling the breeze..." Tommy should do a video riding in a motorcycle side car.
I loved it! Sara was such a great teacher.
Tommy, I'm impressed. You've certainly got better balance than me. Next you need to jump through a ring of fire :D
I love this. The tiny "uh-oh"s of trepidation were utterly endearing. Has Tommy done any boogie boarding? If not, I think we need to get him an instructor and get crackin'. :-)
sara is so adorably awkward and i love her face, no homo.
Loving that you featured a girl in STEM. Maybe some day get Simone Giertz to make you a robot?
Wow, she was fantastic and this was soooo fun! Way to go Tommy!!
I wish Tommy could see this in another life (or Heaven). Remembering how all of this felt and then being able to see it all for the first time.
Awww he just like me such a baby deer learning to walk
AWESOME JOB TOMMY!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
great fun. well done guys
dude you're so underrated ilysm
I love how attentive he is. Goddam
Honestly better than some sighted people XD Great work!
Tommy! I love those laceless vans you had on, I love those color scheme. Nice choice ;)
You did GREAT Tommy!
OMG SARA!!!!! And John is there too!!!! My favorite UA-camrs together!!!
How does blindness affect balance and motion sickness?
I imagine that being blind would make balance slightly harder due to a lack or reference but would be a fix to motion sickness because you have no visual reference to conflict with your inner ear.
D Hawthorne I wouldn't think so, we have other senses of space and balance
Hallyny N I just saw a clip about a blind skateboarder who uses his cane and high frequency speakers to navigate skate parks. Granted, he had sight when he started skating, but clearly loss of vision didn't affect his balance all that much.
D Hawthorne I
Sense of balance is actually comming from a place in your ears. It is called vestibular system and it is the main reason for the motion sickness...
From watching blind girl Molly Burkes channel, you do get problems. From watching her videos she says it makes he more clumbsy. Balance comes from eye and ear coordination. Also when you are blind you expend more energy. I was pretty surprised when I found out. Tommy might be different because very blind person is completely different to the next
This is wonderful!!!
Man that was amazing!
Amazing! I don't think I would even try to ride one of those!
She seems so nice and energetic. Whish i could found someone like her.
I have the same boosted board and the same contoler as her lol. I love to drive with this thing.
3:19 John Hill is in the background!
With a brief appearance by John Hill at 8:03 ish
Good job Tommy! I can see where I am going and I would still kill myself on that thing. But it does look like fun, it would be worth a shot. ha!
I like to see him come barreling down the sidewalk
My heart can't handle this tommy haha good experience tho .
oooh, these boards are so cool, i know two kids from my town who have them and gosh am i jealous sometimes
question: do you ever feel dizzy? Its comon for people to get dizzy whem they are on moving vehicles and they cant see outside
So what abut you?
that's so awesome
Tommy, you are such a cool dude!
You did great. I'm very Impressed!
Pretty sure I wouldn't be able to stay standing on a board controlled by someone else with my eyes closed. Excellent!
"You know what would be fun? To see *long awkward pause"
