outside edge: the paler lineinside edge: the darker line
RBO → RFI → LBI. A skater who rotates the other way traces LBO: the same element, generated from this one.

A three turn from a backward edge, straight into a step onto the other foot. You enter blind, turn to forwards, then step back to a backward edge, all on one lobe.

The join is the hard part, as it always is. Coming out of the three turn you are travelling forwards for a fraction of a second, and that is the only moment in which the free foot can be placed. Everything about the cluster is decided before the first turn starts.

Derived

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

RBO, three turn 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 LBO. Same element, mirrored.
