Grinds are any sliding stances held across surfaces with the assistance of inline skates. Grinds in inline skating are based on the ability to balance on one or two legs while sliding across the obstacle or surface with the leg(s) facing perpendicular and/or parallel to the direction of motion. When a skater correctly places his or her feet on the obstacle in the desired position that skater is said to be 'locked-in'. The ability to lock and hold various combinations of perpendicular/parallel, right foot/left foot form the basic level from which more advanced grinds and combinations of grinds can be executed. The use of single row skates or inline skates enable the skater to grind on the outer and inner sole on each skate; The 'soul', or positive soul and the 'negative' spaces respectively. When the grinding leg is bent such that the frame is sliding nearly sideways on top of the obstacle, this is known as the 'topside' variations of soul-based grinds. Thus more possible stances are at the disposal of the blader when inline skates are used for aggressive skating, leaving more room for expression. It is mainly a stunt technique employed in the aggressive skating discipline and many niche inline skate brands focus innovation around this concept together with traditional durability, comfort, and speed design principles that go into making skate products as adopted by the inline skating industry. While the foot position of a grind is standard, the visual aesthetic of a grind varies from skater to skater depending on skill, experience, flexibility, and personal expression. Also known as ''style'' in the aggressive skating community, this plays an important role in judging during professional aggressive skating competitions such as the IMYTA (I match your trick association), World Rolling Series sanctioned competitions and competitions hosted by Action sport events such as the Gravity Games and X Games. ==Frontside and backside== Also abbreviated FS or BS, this distinction is used when sliding using the surface of the frames found between the wheels and used to describe whether the skater is sliding with his or her back turned to the obstacle (backside), or facing the obstacle (frontside). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grinds (skating)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
