The Acid Grind is seen as a basic grind and once mastered can look
very stylish; the acid grind is similar to the soul grind.
We recommend that beginners approach this trick with a moderate speed.
As you are approaching the obstacle you are grinding, spot where you want
to land, then jump and lock in your soul foot, at the same time bring
your non-souling foot and lock it in-front of your souling foot at 90
degrees (your H-block) with the inside of the boot facing out. To make
sure you keep your balance, try to move most your body weight onto your
souling foot.
It is best to skate straight at the object you are about to grind unless
you are going to attempt to spin onto it. It also helps if you jump and
lock straight into the grind rather than stepping into it. This usually
looks very bad and is not the correct way to complete the Acid Grind.
Adding style to the Acid Grind is quite easy, just try to get as low as
possible and experiment with where your feet feel most comfortable.
