Alan Ollie Gelfand is credited for having invented the Ollie, the skateboard trick that was named after him in the Oxford English Dictionary Online and in Merriam Webster's Dictionary.
Over the years people would say, "Wow you are Ollie" and I would say "yea" with no great enthusiasm. I never realized how many people were affected by one little move an 80 pound kid from Hollywood Florida did @ SKATEBOARD USA way back in 1977.
