Zero videos are such a major part of skateboarding culture. From Thrill of it All to Misled Youth, Dying to Live, New Blood, Strange World—the list goes on. But for an entire generation of skateboarders, Dying to Live made a huge impact on many of our lives, which is why this exclusive deck Zero just dropped is pretty exciting.

The Dying to Live skull resides rent free in mind. I will never forget buying the VHS tape (along with the classic TransWorld video, In Bloom) at a skate shop in Arizona during Christmas back in 2003. I was 13 and both videos were on full rotation for the next 10+ years. (I still have both/watch both to this day!)

The soundtrack itself brings me back to a special time in my life, along with literally every single part. I loved that era of Zero. They were untouchable!

What else can I say? Dying to Live played a major role in further cementing Zero’s place at the forefront of street skating in the early 2000s, and if you ask me, it's one of the most-referenced skate videos ever. And this board is a direct nod to that golden era.
