I've always just ran them under water while sliding a soapy butter knife under the grip.
Slide it under and rotate around the grip, each time stretching the grip out slightly to allow the running water to make its way under the grip.
After that, they should just slide right off.

If all else fails, you'll probably have to cut 'em off. You might also try posting in the MTB forum. They might have some secret trick.

I like the knife idea. See, that's what I mean by "secret trick."

im sure my compressed air was no good. It was just one of those cans used for cleaning out keyboards. I just stucl the straw under the grip....the air ended up leaking out the wrong end of the straw...bah

that is the only way compressed air works- and it does.

avoid soap and water if you ever plan to put them on again,. they will rotate for the rest of there life. longer then your life for sure...
you can use a air compressed, or aquanet and a flatblade. putting them on with rubber cement is a good idea too.

No way.
Just let them run under water for a little bit and the soap will wash away like...well...soap.
I've used the soap and water removal method many times and have never encountered slippage upon re-installation.

Remove Oury Grips with Isopropyl Alcohol
Fill a syringe with isopropyl alcohol. Use a straw to slip between the bar and Oury grip or use a screw driver to gently pry the Oury grip away from the bar. Inject the isopropyl alcohol under the grip while rotating the grip back and forth. The grip will loosen and you can slip it off. Alcohol leaves it all nice and clean.
