inside edge: the darker line

RFI → RBI → RFI → RFI. A skater who rotates the other way traces LFI: the same element, generated from this one.

The rocker-counter, and then two rotations on the edge it hands back. The pair returns the skater to the edge they entered on, so the twizzle happens where the cluster started. That sounds like a rest, and it is not.

By then the lobe has been changed twice and the check has been set and released twice, and the twizzle asks for a third setting on whatever is left. Skaters who own the rocker-counter often lose it here, because they arrive at the familiar edge with none of the speed they usually have on it.

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, rocker to RBI, then counter to RFI, then double twizzle to RFI. 3 turns on one foot, and the skater finishes on the edge they started on.

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.

Build on

Right forward inside rockerRFI to RBI: half a turn into the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
Right backward inside counterRBI to RFI: half a turn against the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
Right forward inside double twizzleRFI to RFI: 2 rotations on one foot, travelling, 2 curls and no cusp.
