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

A rocker, then a step onto the other foot with the edge changing as well. The rocker reverses the lobe by turning on the blade; the choctaw reverses it again by stepping across. Two changes of circle by two entirely different mechanisms, one after the other.

Worth doing precisely because the mechanisms differ. The rocker’s change of lobe happens at a cusp you can see; the choctaw’s happens at a gap in the tracing where one blade stops and another starts.

Derived

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

RFO, rocker to RBO, then choctaw to LFI. 2 turns on two feet, 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 LFO. Same element, mirrored.
