Description

Definition: Mistrial is a more advanced grind because it requires getting low on the grind and distributing your weight much differently than the easier Soul grinds. Your back leg in this grind is as if it was a Mizou except your back skate is leaning in the "opposite" direction from Mizou; so if the backs skate on Mizou is leaning to the negative side of the soul, this is now leaning to the positive side of the soul. The ideal Mistrial grind is considered when you bring your back skate towards your front skate (the one that is locked on the Soul plate) and lock them together (i.e. so the back skate is touching the front skate with the groove of the frame). The difficulty here is that your center of balance is focused on a much smaller area and you have to find the right position for your body to keep from either slipping out backwards, or sticking on the front skate.

Other facts: An Alleyoop Topside Mistrial is called a "Misfit".
