"Zero Gravity started as a skate park outreach in 2005. We started out by giving away cold bottled water on hot summer days. Zero Gravity brought a positive attitude into a scene that is sometimes known to be negative and harsh. Since then Zero Gravity has grown into a ministry, team, and a business providing scooter decks and other products. Proceeds from all sales goes directly to fund the operations of the ministry and outreach.

The ministry of Zero Gravity started a Scoot Church in March 2010 and is currently holding Scoot Church on Tuesday nights 6-8:30 at the Grid indoor skate/youth facility. Our goal on these nights is to connect with the youth and help them to know who and what Jesus is all about. Currently we reach over 50 youth on these nights and growing weekly. We also encourage each of them to participate in our weekly scooter competitions no matter what skill level. This helps them to build their confidence in the sport and also to connect with other scooter riders. All of the Zero Gravity Scoot Church team riders are required to bring a positive and encouraging attitude to the sport. Each one of them are expected to be part of the weekly Bible teaching and competition. They also participate in monthly outings to various skate parks to share what Zero Gravity is all about!

Early January of 2010 we, along with The Rock Church Monroe, WA adopted our first outdoor skate park. This creates a serve opportunity in the community by helping with the maintenance of the park. By doing this, it brings awareness to the importance of skate parks in a community. Without them many areas like schools, parks, and businesses get damaged from the use scooters and skateboards. It also helps with the city budget, enabling them to use the resources in other needed areas.

Zero Gravity owner Todd Scheffer started making scooter parts in 2006 as a hobby for local scooter riders which eventually turned into a business. November 2009 we released our first one piece scooter deck to the public and since then have made two other models and discontinuing our first. Shortly after that we released our forks, bars, compression systems, brakes, and are curently working snow scoots. All of our parts are designed and machined in the USA by a multi million dollar machine shop neighboring several Boeing facilities. In April 2010 we launched Ridezg.com to help distribute our products at both national and international level. "

I am really happy to see another great company in the sport of scootering. I expect a lot of good things to come from ZG in the future. You guys can find all your updates and breaking news relating to Zero Gravity, right here on Inside-Scooters.
