About Zero

Zero Skateboards emerged from San Marcos, California in 1996 when pro skater Jamie Thomas transformed his clothing line into one of skateboarding's most respected deck companies. Zero skateboard decks became synonymous with technical street skating and gnarly video parts, building a reputation that attracts riders who push limits.

The Zero team reads like a who's who of street skating legends. Ryan Sheckler brought his technical wizardry to Zero decks, while Chris Cole held an ownership stake from 2011 to 2014, cementing the brand's credibility among serious skaters. Zero's skateboard decks are built for riders who see handrails as opportunities and stair sets as challenges. From skateboard completes for new riders to pro model decks for veterans, Zero maintains that raw street aesthetic that made Jamie Thomas a household name.
