Invented in the late 1970s by Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, the ollie has become a skateboarding fundamental, the basis for many other more complicated tricks.
alan galfand never did a flatland ollie first, it wasn't really a "f/s 180" when he did that in vert, its referd to now as a front side air, but ollie means no handed aerial, and that was a no handed aerial, so there ya go, it was an ollie.

He called it the "ollie pop" There was another Florida guy in the same issue doing a layback air out of a pool...and I though to myself...I can't do this stuff...maybe it is time to quit like almost all of my friends had done.

The fourteen-year-old friends had pooled their allowances and meager savings to collect the $75 necessary for the flight, and now, low over South Florida with a pilot and plane from North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines, they strained their eyes looking for swimming pools.
In Florida, Gelfand and his friends started skating pools; in 1978, they graduated to their own ramp, a sixteen-foot-wide, ten-foot-high plywood monster they called the Hollywood Ramp (though it was located in Pembroke Pines).

 Inventor of the Week: Archive
Nor was it long before challenges were added, such as curb-jumping and climbing banked surfaces: this was "street surfing." By the early 70s, bicycle manufacturers and toy companies were producing stable, unbreakable boards with more speedy and reliable urethane wheels on flexible mounts.
Skateboarding developed a set of standard maneuvers, such as the 180 and 360 (a half and a full rotation of the elevated front of the board while the grounded back spins in place) and the "Ollie," invented by Alan Ollie Gelfand, a leap into the air during which the board stays flush with the feet.
The earliest preferred venues for freestyle skateboarding, namely empty swimming pools and construction sites featuring giant sewer pipes, were succeeded by specialized skateboarding parks, in which formal competitions could be held.
