That'd be St.Peter's Cross anyway so it'd be fine.

That is true but wear an inverted cross into a church service and see what happens.

i think its about time for shops to stop ordering zero boards.

[TheLurper]

i think its about time for shops to stop ordering zero boards.

The shop owners must be time travelers, because I think most stopped ordering Zero boards a decade ago.

Like, I don't think anyone under the age of 35 cares about Zero and not many people above the age 35 are really spending money on boards.

This whole thread is like being upset with Dukakis's failed run for president. Yea, it sucks he got his ass kicked, but is he even alive anymore? I'm not sure because who cares?

[dcwilliamsrva]

Funny what a tiny echo chamber these boards are.  Zero sells out of decks almost every time they drop a new series... they sell out of apparel, they sell out of accessories, and I see them at the parks, ridden by pros, I see a zero board in the top 3 of SLS finishes almost every event, They do collabs almost monthly and sell out.  So if thats "irrelevant", I can tell you SOMEONE or SOMEBODY is irrelevant, but its clearly not zero. But hey, everyone is entitled to their dillusions... my .02

i mean it ain't hard to sell thru 50 board runs with worldwide distribution. whenever i see a zero board it's the skull graphic and the skater is 10 years old tops and will move on to other brands by the time they learn how to ollie

It's actually hilarious how confidently out of touch you are. Zero is huge with the zoomer crowd because it fits the whole edgy Y2K aesthetic that's popular now. I've talked to multiple shop employees in different shops that say zero boards sell fast and that it's primarily the 13-17 y/o crowd buying them.

selling out of decks to Zumiez is not really selling out in the way you want to sell out. give that 2 cents to your mom to go downtown and get a rat to gnaw that shit off her face

Yeah I was gonna say, they're pretty over with the jits.
Typical jit setup these days at least from what I've observed at parks would be a Zero deck, some Affliction style zip up hoodie (worn ironically maybe? Idk at this point, I'm not in the loop enough), maybe a Slipknot shirt, baggy jorts, and shoes vary but maybe like some Knu Skools or Half Cabs.

Damn, that's pretty grim. Those knu stools are straight up clown shoes. An early 2000s revival is up next chronologically and been rumbling on the horizon for a minute. Even saw some Ed Hardy in the wild. Paris Hilton had a commercial. Holy shit, Von Dutch and Hollister are still around.

Saw an old with a Zero at the park last time there. It was just him and I, so half the boards there were Zero. The imagery on the Burleigh graphic is inexcusable.

This party is taking a turn for the douche.

That is not entirely accurate

There is 1 series on the website of decks that sold out. Tons of boards that have been sitting on there for ages though like those misfits decks.

If you think about it, there is no point for the company to leave a sold out item on the website, other than as a marketing tool to communicate to the user that people actually do buy their items. In the past, most skate shops would just remove the item once it was out of the system, only recently you will notice companies have started to do this.

My local did have some zero boards, and they are all gone, except a Bam one (actually kinda surprised that one wasnt the first one to go). there are a decent amount of those guys who skated 20 years ago getting back into it now. No one is buying the $120 Shorty's decks though.

As far as a "Zero rider being in top 3 of every SLS":
Who besides Kairi Netsuke has ever even been in SLS? And he isnt even pro for Zero... had 1 video part when he got on in 2022 and then nothing ever since. When is the last time he was even in the top 5? Not saying he is not an incredible skater and definitely worth mentioning, but quite a long way off from "A Zero Rider being in top 3 of every SLS".

The only infestation is you little trolls who have nowhere else to go besides Reddit and slap just to whine about your troglodyte politics not being embraced. Why don’t you idiots create your own places where you can gather around the rotting corpse of your own ideals and fester privately? Maybe Tim pool will fund it if you suck his dick harder.

Way to prove my point 

[TheLurper]

Conversations are fun with data. I quickly gathered some data and did so rather sloppily so there could very well be errors.

(I think) I was able to download CCS's deck inventory and (I know) I was able to do a simple count of listings on Cowtown's website. Cowtown has more listings and CCS has more Zero decks that I would have guessed.

Is this unsold inventory that was purchased off of Zero's legacy rather than their reality? Does this represent a back stock because there is consistent demand for a legacy company still making money? Not sure, however, I would hope CCS at least has a professional buyer who can do math to predict customer behavior and doesn't just go off their gut like a small shop might, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes.

I can't remember seeing a Zero board in the wild recently, but maybe it is on me.

I’ve noticed an influx of youth wearing and skating Zero. Add that Bam guest board to the mix, he still sells out product. I’d imagine Kanaan Dern funnels some sales via his YouTube channel too. Seems like they have a presence in South America and Japan. It’s not something I’d personally ride, haven’t bought one in 20+ years. It’s probably not doing crazy numbers either, like mentioned it’s most likely limited runs. But just because it’s not cool to you or your homies or most people on here doesn’t mean it’s dead yet. The skull logo is classic and recognizable, love it or hate it.

Pay attention in DGK, BAKER AND REAL NUMBERS To answer your questions.

[Southernmost]

If you look at Zumiez decks page you can filter best selling. Baker, Zero, and DGK seem to be the majority on the first page of 60 decks. Few other brands in there like Real, There, Hockey, Plan B, even a Jart and Rip & Dip.
