A rocker from a backward edge into a step onto the other foot. This is the version the syllabus asks for at Skills 6, on all four backward entries, and it is entered from a crossover so the edge has to be made quickly.
Everything hangs on the check. A rocker rotates into its entry curve and then has to be stopped dead on the new one, and the mohawk gives you no time at all to do it in: the step is already happening. A rocker that runs on takes the free foot with it and the two elements merge into one long scrape.
Derived
RBI is three letters (foot, direction, edge): right foot, backwards, inside edge. Every edge in the guide is written that way, so RBI is a right foot travelling backwards on an inside edge.
RBI, rocker to RFI, then mohawk to LBI. 2 turns on two feet, and the skater finishes on LBI.
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 LBI. Same element, mirrored.
Build on
- Right backward inside rockerRBI to RFI: half a turn into the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
- Right forward inside mohawkRFI to LBI: a step onto the other foot, holding the edge and staying on the same lobe. No cusp.
