==Trick skating== {{Main|Skateboarding trick}} With the evolution of [[skatepark]]s and ramp skating, the skateboard began to change. Early skate tricks had consisted mainly of two-dimensional [[Freestyle skateboarding tricks|freestyle maneuvers]] like riding on only two wheels ("wheelie" or "manual"), spinning only on the back wheels (a "pivot"), high jumping over a bar and landing on the board again, also known as a "hippie jump", long jumping from one board to another, (often over small barrels or fearless teenagers), or slalom. Another popular trick was the [[Bertlemann slide]], named after Larry Bertelemann's surfing maneuvers. In 1976, skateboarding was transformed by the invention of the [[Ollie (skateboarding)|ollie]] by [[Alan Gelfand|Alan "Ollie" Gelfand]].<ref name="Architecture"/> It remained largely a unique Florida trick until the summer of 1978, when Gelfand made his first visit to California. Gelfand and his revolutionary maneuvers caught the attention of the West Coast skaters and the media where it began to spread worldwide. The ollie was adapted to flat ground by [[Rodney Mullen]] in 1982. Mullen also invented the "Magic Flip", which was later renamed the [[kickflip]], as well as many other tricks including the [[360 Kickflip]], which is a 360 pop [[shove-it]] and a kickflip in the same motion. The flat ground ollie forms the basis of many street skating tricks, allowing skateboarders to perform tricks in mid-air without any more equipment than the skateboard itself. A recent development in the world of trick skating is the [[1080 (skateboarding)|1080]], which was first ever landed by [[Tom Schaar]] in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skateboarding.com.au/news/12-year-old-lands-first-ever-1080-skateboard/|title=12 year old lands the first ever 1080 on a skateboard|date=July 3, 2012|publisher=Skateboarding.com.au|access-date=October 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121215175336/http://www.skateboarding.com.au/news/12-year-old-lands-first-ever-1080-skateboard/|archive-date=December 15, 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Video/tom-schaar-first-ever-1080-video-021243187489113 |date=March 30, 2012 |title=12-year-old skateboarder nails first ever 1080 |format=video |publisher=Red Bull |access-date=April 3, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120501095403/http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Video/tom-schaar-first-ever-1080-video-021243187489113 |archive-date=May 1, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>
