Right forward outside bracket

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

Not checked yet. The mechanics on this page are a first draft by a non-expert, and no coach has seen them yet. Read them as a starting point and check them with a coach. Corrections are very welcome.

The same entry as a forward outside three, the same exit edge, and the opposite rotation. You turn away from the centre of the circle, so the body works against the curve for the whole turn and then has to be checked the instant it is done.

Because the lobe continues, the tracing looks like a three turn with the cusp pointing the wrong way: outwards, away from the circle, the shape the turn is named for. That single difference is felt as a much larger one. Nothing about a bracket is helped by the edge you are on.
