bounce off
Ricochet from surface
To bounce off someone is to share an idea with them to get their reaction or feedback: Let me bounce this off you before the meeting.
The image is of throwing something against a surface to see how it returns.
The phrase usually implies casual consultation rather than formal review: I wanted to bounce some ideas off you.
