Early skate tricks consisted mainly oftwo-dimensional rnaneuver€t (i.e., riding on only t'he front wheels(nose manual), spinning like an ice skater on the back wheels (a350 Bivot), high jumping over a bar (sometimes called a "Hippieilumpo), long juryring from one board. to anot'her (often over fearlessteenagers lying on ttreir backs)'and slalom.In L975, skateboard.ing was transformed by the invention ofthe first modern skaUeboarding trick by AIan *Ollie" Gelfand. Itremained. largely a unique Florida trick from 1975 until the sr11pnerof 1-978, when Gelfand made his first visiU to California.
