Right backward inside rocker

RBI to RFI: 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 inside edge, rotating into the circle, out forwards still on the inside edge and onto a lobe curving the other way. It shares its awkwardness with everything else that begins on a back inside edge: the entry is the one you practise least.

What it buys you is a change of circle without a change of edge, which is how a step sequence travels in a straight line while every piece of it is a curve.
