Right backward inside bracket

RBI to RFO: half a turn against the circle, changing edge and staying on the same lobe.

Backwards on the inside edge, rotating away from the circle, out forwards on the outside edge. On paper it is the mirror of the back outside bracket. On ice it is usually the harder of the two, because the entry is the weakest edge most skaters own and the free leg has nowhere comfortable to sit.

The exit repays the trouble. A checked forward outside edge coming out of a bracket is about the cleanest entry into a new lobe there is.
