Morning davo to answer your question ; the elite lineup as it was called consisted of, koston, penny, muska, sharpe and sal barbier.

and creager.

sal ..? really.? my memory is rooted.

Yeah dude, im pretty sure sal was on there.

i got paul sharpe tho. cant be too bad. he's very forgettable.

Well done...yeah Darren, Sal was on for sure. He had the first pro shoe on there.
Aha...NZ pro....Spittle?

i was thinking spittlehouse too. didn't know much about him tho.

Nope, an obscure clue though.

The company he rode for was renowned for it's highly technical screen printing and graphic application. Small brand.

I actually have no idea.. im stumped, you got me.

shane munden is my last un educated guess, before i give up. if its not hallam , lee, gregor, morri, spittle, or him i'm fucked if i know.

In the time of money bumps on decks, this company had an obscure shaped board called 'the platypus'.

Some great Kiwi skaters mentioned there!

Last clue, this guys shares the same initials as a major skate shoe company.
