Left backward outside rocker

LBO to LFO: half a turn into the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.

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.

Backwards on the outside edge (the edge you land jumps on), rotating into the circle and coming out forwards, still outside.

A rocker keeps the edge you are on and reverses the direction you are travelling, which, because those are two of the three things that decide which way a lobe curves, means the new lobe curves the opposite way. You leave one circle and join another.

It is worth doing a three turn and a rocker back to back from the same entry edge. The rotation feels almost identical. What differs is where you end up.
