Left backward outside loop

LBO to LBO: a small circle traced on the same edge, still travelling backwards, and the lobe continues.

Not checked yet. The mechanics on this page are a first draft by a non-expert, and no coach has seen them yet. Read them as a starting point and check them with a coach. Corrections are very welcome.

A loop entered backwards on the outside edge. Blind, and the whole figure happens in a couple of seconds with no chance to correct it once begun.

This is where the knee does the work. The loop is drawn by rising and sinking over a continuous edge, and pushing adds nothing to it. Anything added with the shoulders shows up as a flat spot on the far side of the circle, where you cannot see it.
