When the Zero Skateboards squad shows up to a demo at your local skatepark, you know it’s going to be heavy. Of course it is. And their recent session at the Sunland Skate Plaza in New Mexico for 575 Fest was certainly no exception. It was basically just a gnarly double-set session with all your favs. Weren't able to see the action in person? Don't trip—this is the next best thing. Take a look:

The edit features: Dane Burman, Kanaan Dern, Forrest Edwards, Adam Arunski, Kairi Netsuke, Reuben Barrack, Ben Havran, Gustavo Servin, Jake Watkins and Austin Salzman, each fearlessly stepping to this double set handrail, hubba and the stairs themselves. It was one helluva session, that's for sure. Proper demo vibes—these dudes put on a show for the locals. 

Shoutout to Crooks Skate Shop (El Paso) for helping make it happen and of course to the local scene for showing up and bringing the hype. Demos used to be such a huge deal—truly life-changing. And these days they're sort of few and far between. But still, that feeling of seeing your favorite pros in action right before your eyes is absolutely priceless, let alone getting to skate and interact with them. 

Leave it to a brand like Zero to keep that energy alive. It means so much to local skate communities large and small. Honestly, some of these kids will remember this day for the rest of their lives. 

Stuff like this will never get old to me. I'm stoked to see more clips and action from this trip, because I know the crew was on the road for a few weeks. It's still Zero or Die, as far as I'm concerned. Love to see it.
