Christian pro skater Jamie Thomas is stepping up and taking action after allegations involving former rider Dane Burman resurfaced.
With a Jesus Saves tattoo carved on his body and having dedicated his life to God, his faith speaks for itself.
Thomas has always let his faith guide his decisions, and now he is making sure that the company acts responsibly, holding everyone involved accountable while keeping God at the center of the process.
After allegations from Yasmin Benoit became public, the Christian-owned brand Zero decided it was time to cut ties with Burman.
This decision reflects a belief that faith and integrity come first, even when that means making difficult decisions with people he has known for years.
Thomas is making sure that Zero’s culture is not about speculation or protecting reputations; it is about addressing concerns directly and thoughtfully.
Burman responded to the situation by issuing a statement. He acknowledged that the actions from 2012 do not reflect the person he is now and announced that he would be stepping away from Zero to focus on personal growth.
In his statement, Burman said:
"Recent commentary has brought attention to decisions made earlier in my life. These matters date back to 2012 and do not reflect who I am today. While these references do not represent the values I live by now, personal growth is an ongoing process that deserves focused attention. Effective immediately I am stepping away from Zero for a period of focused personal work. I acknowledge that past chapters can affect others and I approach this moment with care and respect for those affected. My focus now is on moving forward with integrity, clarity, and purpose."
Even as Burman steps back, Zero is making sure that concerns are addressed directly to the company and not spread online.
Fans and the skateboarding community are encouraged to send any questions or worries to the official email, guaranteeing that every issue can be handled professionally and in alignment with the company’s values.

It also sets an example that Christian principles are not just words on a wall; they are active choices guiding the company in how it responds to serious concerns.
For fans, riders, and the community, this shows that handling sensitive matters with respect and direct communication is essential.
Thomas and Zero are asking everyone to step up responsibly, keeping rumors and assumptions off social platforms so that every claim can be treated with care.
While the situation is serious, the company’s message is simple. They are asking everyone to address issues directly, uphold accountability, and let faith guide the way.
