The acid grind is very similar to the soul grind. The only thing you do differently, is that you turn your front non-souling foot on the other side so that it grinds on the outside frame instead of the inside like in a soul grind.

The weight should be on the souling skate - plain and simple! When doing topsides, this is easier than the soul! When doing a topside soul, you cannot have your upper body over the obstacle you're grinding, but you need to have an angle of about 45 degrees. When doing a topside acid, your upper body is above the obstacle, since it comes naturally by the way you have to bend your front leg.

If you get really low, and your front non-souling foot is grinding only on the outside boot, the trick is called acid soul. This is only when you're grinding on the boot, not when the outside frame touches as well.
