Left backward outside 3-turn-change of edge-double twizzle

LBO → LFI → LFO → LFO: 3 elements on one foot.

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.

A three turn, a change of edge and a double twizzle run together from a backward entry. It is the technical middle of Skills 8 and the hardest continuous passage in the British syllabus.

There is no moment in it where the foot can be reset, which is unusual: most clusters at least change foot somewhere. So the knee does all the work: it absorbs the turn, carries the roll and then holds still for the rotation, and a knee that is still rising when the twizzle starts sends the whole thing off the edge.

BIS write a push, or touch down, before the twizzle. The guide has no element for it.

Build on

• Left backward outside three turnLBO to LFI: half a turn into the circle, changing edge and staying on the same lobe.
• Left forward inside change of edgeLFI to LFO: the blade rolls across without turning, still travelling forwards, and the lobe reverses.
• Left forward outside double twizzleLFO to LFO: 2 rotations on one foot, travelling, 2 curls and no cusp.
