A Secret History of the Ollie is more than just the story of the "Ollie"—the no-handed maneuver that allowed skaters to take flight. This unique illustrated series explores the birth of modern skateboarding and some of its pioneers, groundbreaking moments, and history. 


It is the first book to make the history of skateboarding digestible and accessible to non-skaters and the general public with engaging and easy-to-read text. It is also a visual history, complete with 1200 images and photographs, some of which have never been in print before.
