Twizzles

The one element here that the three flags do not decide on their own. A twizzle rotates continuously while it travels, so its tracing curls with no cusp, and the curls cannot curve against themselves, which is why the lobe always continues. A half rotation turns the skater to face the other way, and the edge letter changes with them even though the blade never changes which way it is curving.
