Right forward outside twizzle

RFO to RFO: 1 rotation on one foot, travelling, one curl and no cusp.

One rotation on a forward outside edge, finishing on the edge it began on and still going the same way. That makes it the honest place to learn one: nothing about the exit has to be relearned, and the only new thing is the rotation itself.

The edge is where it goes wrong. A forward outside edge is already leaning into its circle and the rotation wants to take that lean with it, so the usual failure is the free side opening halfway round and the blade settling onto a flat. The tracing will tell you which happened. A curl means you rotated over the blade; a scallop means you skidded across it.
