mirror

outside edge: the paler line

LBO → LFO → RBO. A skater who rotates the other way traces RBO: the same element, generated from this one.

A counter from a backward edge into a step onto the other foot. Blind entry, reversed lobe, then a change of foot on the new curve.

The step is what saves it. A counter’s exit is a difficult edge to hold for long, and stepping off it before it decays is easier than sustaining it. That is presumably why this cluster exists alongside the counter on its own.

Derived

LBO is three letters (foot, direction, edge): left foot, backwards, outside edge. Every edge in the guide is written that way, so RBI is a right foot travelling backwards on an inside edge.

LBO, counter to LFO, then mohawk to RBO. 2 turns on two feet, and the skater finishes on RBO.

Nothing above is stored on this page. The cluster records its entry edge and the order of its turns; every edge in between is chained out of the same rule that draws a single turn.

A skater who rotates the other way does the same thing from RBO. Same element, mirrored.

Build on

Left backward outside counterLBO to LFO: half a turn against the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
Left forward outside mohawkLFO to RBO: a step onto the other foot, holding the edge and staying on the same lobe. No cusp.
