I just checked some of the graphics and they look pretty good. I grow up with zero, but never could afford one. Maybe now is the moment to get my first zero. Whats the WB on the 8,25 x 31.9 shape ?
14.25

yo isuck, do you like me?
do i know you?

Can you make a 9" American Zero popsicle special for me ?
haha, we don't have a 9" shape / for $100 though, we'll figure it ;)

I SUCK!, if you ever need video work ( complete with graphics or animations ) you should hit up Jason from Massena NY.  He's always been the biggest fan of you and Zero and has got amazing with what he can do and I'm sure he'd be psyched to hear from you.  Also, trying to find your Roark jeans and jacket as they look like quality pieces.  I wish I could check them out before ordering though but seems like they aren't in too many places.

Anyway good luck on your new path, I wish you the best of luck!

Can I have free shit? All the kids at the park want me to be their dad, I can show them the way of Zero and how thier parents should spend money on Zero products.

Think of it as investment flow.

Damn, I thought she always wore the mask. That would've been cool. Pink pants, flannel shirt, surgical mask and a big handrail.

I love Zero I feel like this forum goes through the same cycles over and over as follows:

Strange world comes out:

'wow I love zero! What a video! I actually love stairs and handrails'

Time passes after strange world:

'zero is so whack,  I can't believe anyone would ride for them.  Rails are so boring,  JT is a kook'

Cold war comes out

'wow what a video! Best video I seen in forever! I love thrashing and zero and rails'

Time passes:

'Zero so lame,  I love shaped board brands only '

Latest no cash value comes out,  dane etc

' I love dane,  he deserves a legit board sponsor,  I love zero'


And throughout everyone hates on Jamie Thomas non stop,  until he appears on a thread and everyone goes bananas worshipping him and his legacy.

neil.

Or that people dick ride anyone who actually posts here

Or that people say they'll "definitely" buy someone's next board/shoe/etc. after a video part than probably never do, which is why I miss the "put your money where your mouth is" shit

we are setting up a small operation to sell & distribute Zero independently in the new year.
our goal is to focus on doing things small and well by servicing the best accounts and distributors. we'd like to continue to use dsm (dwindle) as our board manufacturer for the intl. market and we're setting up manufacturing for north america in the US & mexico.

the dwindle staff is amazing and they have been very supportive, but zero is small and what makes the most sense for us is to be independent and connect with the shops, distributors & end customers directly that appreciate the brand and it's history.

if you're a shop or distributor and would like to get set up to order zero directly, please send your email to: [email protected]
below is the message that dwindle sent out last week. obviously, feel free to talk shit, give your 2 cents/advice or ignore this post -jt

From: Bod Boyle, Dwindle Distribution 11/23/16
"This message is to act as a notice of change to the working relationship between Zero Skateboards and Dwindle Distribution. After the end of the initial term of the license/distribution agreement between Zero and Dwindle, Jamie Thomas has decided to run the brand independently. He will be setting up his offices in Carlsbad, California. Dwindle will continue to sell and deliver all Zero product until Jan 15th 2017."

I'll buy a board and support the cause if you do the right thing and put Forrest back on....
At least when you're a washed-out hipster douchebag in NY, you can milk it at some decent looking, hard to skate spots. In LA you're just a tan-lined faggot in a school yard somewhere.

Why are all those boards on blankets? What's wrong with the ground? I understand not wanting to scratch up the graphics, but boards face up on asphalt temporarily is pretty safe. I do it all the time for product shots for the shop.

Also where did all those blankets come from? Did you buy them just to take this photo?

This photo poses so many questions for me.
