Switch pivot. The switch pivot is when you roll switch up the ramp or roll in the fakie position and when you get to just before the coping you pivot your front truck on the coping and your entire body and board are above the coping and then you head back in popping this wheel off the coping and letting your two back wheels clear the coping and head all the way down and into the transition and roll back down. This is an especially cool trick to have because not a lot of tricks get most of your body above the coping and then come back in, so this in a great trick to have. You can also end up bringing this trick to grind. The switch pivot basically you put your foot on your nose and your back foot above the two back wheels, roll up, and just get the wheel that's behind your front heel to lock on the coping and then put weight on your toe and then this will bring your wheel back onto the surface of the ramp and then you can roll.
