Definition: An X Grind is a Soul grind where both of your skates are locked on the positive Soul Plates and the front skate is crossed over in respect to the back skate. This grind is in theory easier to do on a rail (if you're not afraid of rails, and dying). It is much more difficult to do on a flat surface (such as a grind box in our example) because you're forced to bend your front skate into a Topside position which then requires you to get lower on your grind.
