ollieing
Skateboard leap technique
Ollieing is performing an ollie—the foundational skateboarding trick where the rider pops the tail of the board against the ground while jumping, causing board and rider to rise together into the air.
The term extends to snowboarding and similar sports: He was ollieing over curbs all afternoon.
