nobody really knows who, but they know when, in the 1950's or 1960's. The awesome sport used to be wooden boards with rollerskates nailed under them,(skateboarding has come a long way since then).
What is the difference between an ollie and a fakie ollie?
An ollie is when you pop off the tail of your board in your normal riding stance while going forwards.
A fakie ollie is when you pop off the nose of your board in your switch stance while going forwards.
All in all its the same trick except that with a fakie ollie you are doing an ollie but instead of going forwards you are going backwards.
I hope this helps

What is a concave pintail long board?
A concave long board isn't really any different from any other board except that it has a certain amount of pressure added to the center of the board so the edges are higher up. This adds a little more responsiveness to the turning and also helps you stay on the board better then if it was flat. Other variations of this would be like a "W" type concave.
