Definition: An Acid Soul is a tweaked version of the Soul grind. The extension on the front leg is very similar to that of Soul grind, but the front skate is twisted around and instead of locking the groove on the inner (or negative) side of the skate, we lock on the outside side of the skate while the object we're grinding remains locked in the groove of the frame. Arguably, this is actually easier to do than a Soul grind because it can be accomplished while keeping your hip in a relatively natural position, whereas with a Soul grind the hip must be twisted inwards to lock the front skate properly.
Other facts: There are some old references that define an "acid" skate position to be the "opposite" of a what it is in a normal Soul grind.
