How to Soul Grind on Inline Skates

Inline · Soul Grind

The foundational trick where the dominant foot grinds on the soul plate while the other foot grinds on the frame (H-block).

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Approach. Approach the rail or ledge at an angle with enough speed.
  2. Jump. Ollie or jump so your soul foot (with the soul plate) and your other foot (frame/H-block) land on the obstacle.
  3. Grind. Slide with the soul plate of one foot and the H-block of the other on the rail or ledge.
  4. Exit. Pop or step off and land on the ground.

Tips for success

Wax the obstacle. Lock both feet on. The soul grind is the base for many other grinds in aggressive inline.
