"EVAN BLANKENSHIP: Hi. My name is Evan Blankenship with Expert Village, and I'm going to be teaching you how to suck your legs up for the switch Ollie. Alright, so now you've got the pop for the switch Ollie inside of your foot. Next, it's all about sucking your legs up so you can get more height. So, what sucking your legs up does is when you pop, it has potential to come--the board has the potential to come a lot higher. So, raising your legs up allows it to become higher in the air. So, you're popping the board inside your foot. Normally, if you don't suck your legs up, you'll only get that high, but when you pop it and slide your foot up and raise your legs up, it allows the board to come up higher and you'll Ollie a lot higher."
