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

Three turns in a row, forwards: a step onto the other foot with the edge changing, then a three turn on that foot, then a rocker. The lobe reverses, continues, then reverses again.

The reason it is taught as one cluster is that each turn sets up the next badly. The choctaw leaves you on a fresh lobe with no time to settle; the three turn spends the rotation you were checking; the rocker then asks for that rotation back, the other way. Getting through it at all is an achievement before it is ever quiet.

Derived

RFI is three letters (foot, direction, edge): right 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.

RFI, choctaw to LBO, then three turn to LFI, then rocker to LBI. 3 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 LFI. Same element, mirrored.
