LFI → LBI → LFO. A skater who rotates the other way traces RFI: the same element, generated from this one.

A counter and then two and a half rotations on the same foot, with no push and no new edge between them. The counter’s check is the twizzle’s fuel: there is nowhere else for the rotation to come from.

That makes the exit of the counter the whole element. Checked, it holds enough to meter the twizzle across all five half-turns; unchecked, the rotation arrives all at once and the last half is stepped round. Nothing done during the twizzle recovers a counter that ran on.

Derived

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

LFI, counter to LBI, then 2½ twizzle to LFO. 2 turns on one foot, and the skater finishes on LFO.

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 RFI. Same element, mirrored.
