The Ollie is an aerial skateboarding trick, invented by Alan "Ollie" Gelfand in 1978. When doing an ollie the skateboarder leaps into the air bringing the board into the air without using their hands. The board appears to magically lift with the feet remaining in contact with the board throughout the jump.
Records
peanuts ]], although Jose Marabotto from Peru was seen on a video from the early '90s clearing a stack of boards estimated at over 50 inches (127 cm).[1] The highest official switch ollie is 40.125 inches (101.92 cm), performed by Alex Bland in a similar Switch Ollie competition.[2]
Variations
- Nollie, an Ollie done with the nose of the board instead of the tail.
- Switch Ollie, an Ollie done while riding switch.
- Fakie Ollie, an Ollie done while riding fakie.
- Ollie 180, an Ollie where the skateboarder and the skateboard rotate in a 180 degree spin after leaving the groundweiner but assskateboard. When the skateboarder lands the trick they will be rolling in the opposite direction to which they where originally riding when they began the trick.
- Nollie 180, just like the Ollie 180 but done from a Nollie.
- Half-Cab, just like the Ollie 180 but done while riding fakie.
- Switch Ollie 180, just like the Ollie 180 but done from a Switch Ollie.
- Ollie North, an Ollie where the front foot is kicked forward over the nose of the board. Sometimes called a one-foot ollie, even though both feet are used to perform the trick.
- Ollie South, an Ollie where the back foot is boned straight down (after popping the board) while the front foot levels out the board, and then the back foot is brought back up to catch the tail of the board to stop the momentum of the tail from rising to high above the nose of the board.
- Boned Ollie, an ollie where the board is dipped down and the legs are practically horizontal, similar to a "Melon Grab" however there is no grab.
