Left backward inside change of edge

LBI to LBO: the blade rolls across without turning, still travelling backwards, and the lobe reverses.

Not checked yet. The mechanics on this page are a first draft by a non-expert, and no coach has seen them yet. Read them as a starting point and check them with a coach. Corrections are very welcome.

Backwards from the inside edge to the outside, the lobe reversing. The weakest entry edge rolling onto the strongest exit, which makes this more useful than it looks: it is the cheapest way of getting from a back inside edge to a checked back outside one.

The whole move lives in the ankle and the hip. If the shoulders join in, you have started a turn instead.

• Left backward inside edgeLBI: the left foot travelling backwards on an inside edge, tracing an anticlockwise lobe.
• Two-foot change of edgeBritish Ice Skating defines a change of edge as one foot's tracing leaving one curve and edge for another. Here both feet do it together.
• Backward slalomBritish Ice Skating Skills 1 builds its backward slalom from two-foot power changes of edge, the roll a backward change of edge makes on one blade.
