'''Zero'''

Zero Skateboards is a skateboard company located in Carlsbad, California. Zero started out as a clothing company in 1996. It evolved into a full fledged skateboard company with Jamie Thomas leaving Toy Machine and becoming Zero's first pro.[1] As the team grew, Jamie started the company, Mystery Skateboards in October 2003, headed by Zero pro Adrian Lopez. Ryan Smith and Lindsey Robertson, who were amateurs at the time for Zero, also went to Mystery.

Zero has won three consecutive Thrasher Magazine's King of the Road competition[3] from 2004 to 2006, beating other teams such as Girl Skateboards, Toy Machine, Darkstar, Element, Flip, Habitat, Real, Almost, and Baker Skateboards. Zero has declined defending their title for King of the Road in order start the "Black and White tour" with the Mystery team in 2007.[4] Zero pro Chris Cole won Thrasher and TransWorld Skateboarding's S.O.T.Y. Award (Skateboarder of the Year). Black Box Distribution just started up $lave skateboards, a new sister to Zero. Zero is one of five skate teams which the player can join in Tony Hawk's Underground.
