"EVAN BLANKENSHIP: Hi. My name is Evan Blankenship with Expert Village, and today I'm going to be teaching you how to switch Ollie out of a ramp. So, now that you found your ramp and that you can come up, switch Ollie, and roll back down regular, it's time to start going a little bit faster and trying to switch Ollie out of the ramp. So, what you want to do first is warm up, Ollie out of it normal first, and roll up switch and get enough speed so you can ride up the ramp. And so, just keep doing that, start riding up the ramp, and you'll start to get the feel of when to pop, get the timing, and when you just get the good solid pop to launch off the ramp. So, once you feel comfortable enough riding up it, just go ahead and try it out. And that's how you switch Ollie off a bank ramp. Just remember, use those five steps: flip position, pop, slide in your foot, sucking up, and land on the bolts."
