Alan Gelfand (born 1963) is the inventor of the ollie, a skateboarding move.
He was born in 1963 in New York. In 1968 he moved to Florida with his family.
In 1974 his father bought him his first skateboard. In 1976 he won the South Florida Skateboard Championships. In 1978 he invented the ollie. Most skateboard tricks are now based on this maneuver. Alan toured the world with the legendary Powell Peralta Bones Brigade team. Some years later other Bones Brigade skateboarders like Rodney Mullen adapted the ollie to flatland skatebording.
