Left backward outside slip chassé

LBO to RBI: a step in which the free foot slides away along the ice, still travelling backwards, and the lobe continues.

Also called slide chassé. Other names.

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, with the free foot sliding away to the rear as the weight arrives on the new one. Which way it slides is the only thing separating this from the forward version, and it always goes against the way you are travelling.

Keeping the foot on the ice keeps it available, which is the point of the movement. A chassé that has to reach for its free foot has already lost the edge it was there to protect, and going backwards you cannot see whether it has. What you can feel is load: a foot that has gone light has left early.

Skate it slower than feels right. The slide takes time that a lift does not.
