A skateboarding trick where the skater pops the board's tail to make it jump into the air, or a person's name.
Named after Alan 'Ollie' Gelfand, who invented the trick in 1978. The trick revolutionized skateboarding by enabling aerial maneuvers without using hands, so it was named after its inventor.
The ollie is to skateboarding what the backflip is to gymnastics—a foundational trick that unlocked an entire world of possibilities! Gelfand's innovation in 1978 basically created modern skateboarding culture.
