Mizou
The Mizou is a grind used in Aggressive Inline Skating. It is a sole based trick done using both feet. The leading foot is placed in the sole position (with a sole plate resting on the object) and the trailing foot is placed in the backside position (with the heel of the foot facing the object). The mizou has been around for a long time and is one of the basic grinds done in Aggressive Skating.
Variants
There are many variants to the Mizou. Mizous can be done in the following ways;
Sweatstance
The leading foot is placed in the 'topside' position, with the face of the frame being placed on top of the object as opposed to the sole plate.
Kindgrind
The trick is essentially the same as a 'Sweatstance' apart from the grind is done 'alley-oop' which means grinding backwards.
Mistral
When in a mistral grind, the trailing foot is bent down to slide on the backslide plate.
Misfit
The Misfit is a variation of the Mistral. A misfit is an alley-oop topside Mistral.
Oreo
The Oreo is the invert to the Biscuit grind, variant of soul grind, the difference being that the trailing foot is twisted round 180 degrees and is sliding on the positive soul plate, so the to foot is grinding on positive soul plate. This is quite a difficult grind and requires the skater's legs to be flexible.
