Everyone remembers the first sidewalk they ollieed up or the first obstacle they managed to overcome with the help of the maneuver . Without a doubt, it is a landmark for every skater during their journey on a skateboard . Success in the maneuver strengthens confidence and opens the magic door to a diverse world full of combinations.
When I first went up the sidewalk of Olli, my skate flew forward and I straightened up in the air into a lying position a meter above the floor directly onto the hard asphalt to my Ashkenazi elbow. It hurt a lot, but inside I was the happiest person, I knew that from that day on I officially belonged to the skateboarding family....
Well, let's learn a little history.... The first Olli was born in 1979 by a leading skater at the time, his name was Alan "Ollie" Gelfand . He originally invented the trick on a ramp and only years later did the trick email data to the street by Rodney Mullen , who adopted it to create various and strange tricks (most of which he is the only one who performs to this day). The trick Alan Gelfand invented was called "No Hands Aerial" but over time the name Olli became the official name of the trick. Alan "Avely" Gelfand became one of the most influential people in the history of the sport and essentially revolutionized the physical perception of skateboarding , winning competitions and sponsorships from various companies, one of which was a young company named Powell Peralta.
One of the people who took the trick one step further at that time (early 1980s) was a young, skinny skater named Tony Hawk (his friends called him Boney Hawk because he was really, really skinny). He would actually get to the tricks he would perform with a huge Avely rather than with an early hand pull which would have separated him from the other skaters at that time. As
mentioned, the Haveli changed the face of skateboarding in the old world of vert, but its entry into the street world created an era and a new generation of skaters ,
at the same time the quality of the boards, wheels and shoes improved over the years and what we see today is actually the result of
years of passing fads and sporting conclusions.
Over the years, shoe companies understood the basic needs of the skater and created the Haveli Pad for him, which is a rubber / leather / plastic covering on the front part of the shoe to prevent friction with the grip tape... At the time, we had to create the same pad ourselves using various and bizarre methods, including by wrapping the shoe in colorful and ridiculous masking tape or by gluing bicycle inner tubes as if we had a flat tire in our shoe, it was terrible and especially incredibly ugly!
The Hawley is also the exercise that our neighbors hate. It is undoubtedly a noisy and annoying exercise for those who don't do it themselves, and it's really awful to hear all day long, "Tuck!" "Boom!" Especially when you're about 10 friends traveling together, but on our dicks , isn't that so?
A few facts about the Hawley before the end of the article:
- The highest Hawley was performed by the Englishman Danny Wainwright and the official height is: 1 meter and 13 centimeters, which is aaaaaaa
- The farthest haveli was performed by Stacey LaVarley (this is what I found on the internet) is: 4 meters and 70 cm which is far!!!
- Last fact, writing haveli in Hebrew is really ridiculous and impossible because it looks like maybe... (mybe).
