Zero Skateboards just welcomed Arthur Bultynck—better known as Artie B—to the squad, and the dude did not show up empty-handed.
The 30-year-old Belgian powerhouse came through with a ripping debut video part titled “Out of the Void,” and it’s as much a video part as it is a straight-up statement, if you ask me.
Whether you’re familiar with Artie’s skating or not is unimportant, because you’re about to be very familiar. Take a look:

Artie is one of those skaters who attacks a variety of spots like he’s mad at them, you know? Power is an understatement. This dude straight-up charges and it’s rad to see. You can feel his energy blasting through the screen with every clip.

He also skates a little bit of everything, which is always refreshing. No spot is safe and there’s no denying he fits the Zero mold perfectly. The Chief still knows how to pick ’em!
These days, there’s no shortage of “welcome” parts that are often a little too short and sweet, if you ask me. But Artie didn’t spare a second here.
I’ll be the first to admit how little I knew about the dude before this part dropped, but I’m stoked to see Zero put him on the map in such a powerful way.
With support from brands like Vans and OJ Wheels, I’d say we can expect a lot more from Artie in the near future.
