Re: does anyone know how to skateboard???
Yeah Mongoose would be the brand. They make bikes, scooters, skateboards, gear, and other innovative designs, such as their bike-like scooters. They're more of a "toy" brand, but don't let that stop you...they're great to learn on.
And Dan...
"The ollie is an aerial skateboarding trick, invented by Alan "Ollie" Gelfand and later adapted to the flat ground by Rodney Mullen. The ollie serves as a basis for many other skateboarding tricks, such as the kickflip, heelflip and pop-shove it. The trick is also known as the no hands aerial, because when performing an ollie, the skateboarder does not grab the board at all, and no accessories are attached to the skateboard.
Execution
The front foot is moved slightly more towards the center of the board. The skateboarder jumps up, and as they are about to take off they kick the tail of the board down. The kick gives the front end of the board upward momentum, and as the tail hits the ground, it rebounds making the board completely airborne. When the board takes off, its nose is much higher off the ground than the tail is. The skateboarder slides their front foot up and forward on the griptape. The movement between the shoe and the board levels the skateboard and takes it further off the ground.
Records
The highest official ollie from flat ground is 44.5 inches, performed by Danny Wainwright at the Reese Forbes Ollie Challenge by Quiksilver, although Jose Marabotto from Peru was seen on a video from the early 90s clearing a stack of boards estimated at over 50 inches. The highest official switch ollie is 40.125 inches, performed by Alex Bland in a similar switch ollie competition."

Any ollie with a spin becomes a 180, 360, 540, or any denomination of a number of half-spins. In a basic sense, an ollie is the basis of any aerial trick in skateboarding.
