Frontside Ollie Nose Blunt`

Recently, I was reading about Tony Hawk, the skateboarding god, and his licensing machine. He has a licensing partnership with Activision, maker of the popular video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, that nets him $6 million a year. Royalties from an array of other products -- including clothing, an action figure and a remote control skater -- up Hawk's annual income into the range of $10 million.

All interesting, but I was more fascinated by the name of the trick he invented: the Frontside Ollie Nose Blunt. I began to wonder if you needed to actually be a board god to have tricks named after you. The answer is yes.

Match the trick with the skateboarding god inventor:

• El Camino – a rocket grab backflip
• Calf Wrap, Flamingo, Pretzel Plant, Brain Surgeon
• Sal Flip
• The Kicktail (or Ollie Kickflip)
• John “Tex” Gibson”
• Ollie (once called the Ollie Pop)
• Texas Plant
• Discovered the technique to Ollie on flat ground
• Adapted the Ollie by Ollieing onto and off of obstacles on the course
• Boneless One

• Rodney Mullen
• Danny Way
• Derek Belen
• Larry Stevenson
• Gary Scott Davis
• Alan Gelfand
• Mark Gonzales
• Salvador Lucas Barbier
