outside edge: the paler line

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

A rocker, which hands you a new circle, and then a step onto the other foot on that new circle. Two changes of lobe of two different kinds, back to back and forwards.

The trap is placing the mohawk on the circle you came from. A rocker’s exit curves the other way from its entry, so the free foot has to go down where the new lobe is going. It is a small distance and it is the whole exercise: put the foot on the old curve and the step becomes a scrape with a change of direction in it.

British Ice Skating asks for it open on one side and closed on the other, which the tracing cannot tell apart.

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 mohawk to LFO. 2 turns on two feet, and the skater finishes on LFO.

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.

Build on

Right forward outside rockerRFO to RBO: half a turn into the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
Right backward outside mohawkRBO to LFO: a step onto the other foot, holding the edge and staying on the same lobe. No cusp.
