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

A bracket from a backward entry into a cross roll. It appears once in the syllabus, in the first section of Skills 8, and it is doing something specific: turning a difficult one-foot turn into travel across the ice.

Watch the free side through the bracket. A bracket rotates against its curve, so the free hip is already working against the direction the cross roll needs. The transfer has to happen anyway, on time, with the shoulders still holding the check. That is the reason this sits where it does in the test.

Derived

LBI is three letters (foot, direction, edge): left foot, backwards, inside edge. Every edge in the guide is written that way, so RBI is a right foot travelling backwards on an inside edge.

LBI, bracket to LFO, then cross roll to RFO. 2 turns on two feet, and the skater finishes on RFO.

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 RBI. Same element, mirrored.

Left backward inside bracketLBI to LFO: half a turn against the circle, changing edge and staying on the same lobe.
Left forward outside cross rollLFO to RFO: a step onto the other foot, still travelling forwards, and the lobe reverses.
