Right backward outside cross roll

RBO to LBO: a step onto the other foot, still travelling backwards, and the lobe reverses.

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, the free foot passing the skating foot and taking its own outside edge, the lobe reversing at the change. Blind, and the new lean has to be committed to before there is any evidence it will be caught.

Watch the shoulders. The reversal wants to be led from the hips with the shoulders following; led from the shoulders it becomes a lurch, and the tracing shows two lobes with a straight line between them where there should be one continuous roll.
