This one is pretty special! Zero Skateboards turned Adam Arunski pro over the weekend in his home state of Arizona during the AZ premiere of their latest film, 'Heaven's Gate.' 

Anyone who knows Adam knows he's one of the coolest, kindest, and hardest-working guys in skateboarding. Not only does he hold a full-time desk job at Zero, but he also manages to stack clips in the streets more than many pros with fewer obligations. His skating speaks for itself, and his dedication is nothing short of admirable. Check out some photos below, along with kind words from The Chief.

To make the night even better, the surprised happened at Arizona's beloved Wedge skatepark—the same skatepark Adam spent countless hours at as a kid, eventually paving the way for this full circle moment. Adam and Zero also pay homage to The Wedge in a cool way with one of his debut graphics—can anyone guess which one? IYKYK!

It's always a treat to see Adam skate and any time we cross paths off the board, he's just that same, humble dude he's always been. If anyone deserves their name on a Zero board, it's Adam. Like many Zero die-hards, he's been a fan of the brand, team, videos, graphics—the list goes on—since he got into skateboarding, and he lives and breathes it to this day. 

It's been a long time coming, Adam, and we're so stoked to see it all happening. Huge congrats! If he brought so much to the table as a hungry amateur, I know for a fact he'll provide as a pro. Like I said, his skating speaks for itself. The dude is unbelievably talented and has that raw power many of us only wish we could have.

Go buy his pro board! Yeah, Adam! Zero or die.
