From the looks of it I'd say dude invented doing kicker to kicker gaps before dudes started doing them on dirt bikes probably the year or a few years after... Maybe even invented doing gaps in general. Maybe even came up with kickers?
And yeah I've yet to skate an Elephant Brand deck, I like that they claim to have modern concave on their 10"+ decks instead of just "kicktail". Dig some of the graphics on those though.
