LFO → LBI → LFI. A skater who rotates the other way traces RFO: the same element, generated from this one.

A bracket into a counter, forwards. Both turn against the curve, which is what makes this cluster feel relentless: there is no point in it where the edge is helping you.

The bracket keeps the lobe; the counter reverses it. So the body rotates the same way twice while the circle changes underneath, and the checking has to hold through both. It is the cluster that most rewards a deep, quiet entry edge and most punishes a shallow one.

Derived

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

LFO, bracket to LBI, then counter to LFI. 2 turns on one foot, and the skater finishes on LFI.

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 RFO. Same element, mirrored.
