	History of Skateboarding
		An ollie is performed by pressing down quickly on the back of a skateboard, and controlling the resulting upward motion of the skateboard with the skater's front foot.
		The trick was reinvented by Rodney Mullen in the 80's, being transferred to the horizontal plane and used as a trick for freestyle skating (a style of skating popular in the seventies and eighties based on stationary maneuvers).
		The act of "ollieing" onto a rail or pole, and sliding along it on the trucks of the board, is known as ''grinding'' and has become a mainstay of modern skateboarding.

		A skateboarding trick is a maneuver performed while skateboarding (or other boardsports such as snowboarding and wakeboarding).
		The basic elements of the skateboarding trick are the varial, jump, flip, grab, slide (or grind), and stall, combined with twists of various multiples of 180 degrees.
		Tricks which require some kind of ramp, usually a halfpipe, are vert tricks; the rest can be performed on the flat or off of curbs and rails and are known as street tricks.

		The ollie flip is an ollie variation: you jump into the air with your board, but your board does a flip before you land on it.
		The heelflip entails ollieing and kicking your leading foot towards the toe-side edge of the nose, rather than towards the heelside edge as you would for an ollie flip.
		Ollie upwards, but instead of sliding your leading foot to the nose - as you would for a straight ollie - keep it near the center of the board.

		Although it's more effective to ollie with your front foot right in the middle at the start, it's also easier to do it a little closer to the nose of the board.
		Don't ollie, just push down on your back foot as if you were ollieing without the 'pop' (or the tail hitting the ground) and push back with that foot sharply, while pushing forward with your front foot.
