Adam Arunski, one of the hardest-working skateboarders in the industry, was officially named a pro rider for Zero Skateboards this past weekend. The big announcement took place in his home state of Arizona during the premiere of Zero’s latest film, Heaven’s Gate.
For those who know Arunski, the news comes as no surprise. He is widely respected not only for his skill on a skateboard but also for his work ethic and humble demeanor. In addition to his full-time desk job at Zero, Arunski continues to stack impressive clips in the streets, managing to keep up with the demands of pro-level skateboarding while balancing numerous responsibilities. His dedication to the sport and his personal commitment are undeniable, making this promotion well-earned.
The announcement took place at Arizona’s legendary Wedge Skatepark, a spot that holds a special place in Arunski’s heart. As a kid, he spent countless hours there, and now, in a full-circle moment, he was surprised with his pro status at the very same park. To celebrate the occasion, Zero also honored the skatepark’s legacy with a graphic on Arunski’s debut pro board—a nod that fans will recognize if they’re familiar with the brand’s history.
Beyond his skateboarding, Arunski’s reputation as a down-to-earth, kind person shines through. Whether on or off the board, he remains the same humble individual, always focused on the craft and respectful of the community.
This recognition is a long time coming. Arunski has been a dedicated fan of Zero since his early days in skateboarding, admiring the brand, its team, its videos, and its iconic graphics. Now, as a pro, he’s truly living the dream he’s worked so hard for. His skating speaks for itself—raw, powerful, and full of potential. It’s clear that, if his amateur career was any indication, Arunski will continue to push the boundaries as a professional.
Congratulations to Adam Arunski—an athlete who has earned this moment of recognition, and a rider who is sure to continue leaving his mark on the skateboarding world. Be sure to grab his pro board and show your support—Zero or die!
