This is an amazing and wonderful post that I really enjoyed. I thought y'all might appreciate knowing that the ollie was actually invented in the 70s by a guy named Alan "Ollie" Gelfand. Mullen invented the *flat-ground* ollie in the early 80s, before that people only did it in bowls/pools. He's still a huge freakin' deal and I loved your link round up on him, just I can imagine him being sad about Gelfand not getting the originator credit so I had to mention it.
