Another basic trick all skaters should know. Just like in a backside, learning the stall is important to doing the grind. A great way to practice is to hop up a flight of stairs from soul stall to unnatural soul stall. Skate at the rail backward at a good speed.  Hop into the air and rotate you body over the rail. Lock you soul skate in by pushing it diagnolly down toward the rail until it "clicks" in. Then put your front foot on between the middle two wheels. Your  weight should be directly over the rail and shifted backward so that it's over your soul foot. As you grind use your front foot as a guide and have your arms extended for balance.  Grind as far as possible and hop off when your done.
