If you are a skateboarder, you probably know what an ollie is. You crouch down, then suddenly push down hard behind the rear wheels, while lifting the front foot. The skateboard flies up off the ground, seemingly glued to your feet, and you and the board can jump over barriers like curbs, benches, or railings.

The ollie is probably the best known modern skateboarding trick.
It was invented in the late 1970s by Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, a Florida skateboarder.

Modern skateboarding has generated many new words, including these:

Caballerial: full turn on a ramp while riding fakie (after Steve Caballero)

carve: to skate in a long arc

fakie: riding with the board reversed (backwards)

goofyfoot: riding with the left foot forward

half pipe: U-shaped ramp for skateboarding tricks

mongo-foot: pushing with the front foot

nollie: an ollie started by pushing down on the front of the board

I've always wondered how they do that. Skateboarders when they fly into the air with the boards still firmly attached to their feet !!! I wouldn't minf being able to do that myself...
