When Zeus was a spry young deity in ancient Greece he grew famous for his ill tre flips and being the first to tuck knee with style. However, as those us of us who had world history class know, Zeus grew up to be the thunder god. The Greeks claimed Zeus was the leader of the gods and pictured him thunder bolt in hand, ready to handle some business. The truth is as Zeus grew up he developed a pension for ollieing god sized gaps and when Zeus popped his ollies it sounded like thunder. Thus earning him the nickname, Thunder (later that nickname was adopted by an American Gladiator who did not really live up to it). While Zeus' skating was defiantly gnarly it did not strike fear into the hearts of the Greeks so he had to put down the skateboard and pick up a real lighting bolt before going on to rule the gods of Greece.
