A three turn, then straight onto the other foot. The three turn takes you from forwards to backwards on one blade; the mohawk takes you back to forwards on the other, and the lobe carries on through both.
It is worth practising as one thing because the mohawk has to be ready before the three turn is finished. The free foot cannot be found afterwards: a step is instantaneous, and if the foot is not there the cluster becomes a stumble with a good turn in front of it.
Derived
LFI is three letters (foot, direction, edge): left foot, forwards, inside edge. Every edge in the guide is written that way, so RBI is a right foot travelling backwards on an inside edge.
LFI, three turn to LBO, then mohawk 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 RFI. Same element, mirrored.
Build on
- Left forward inside three turnLFI to LBO: half a turn into the circle, changing edge and staying on the same lobe.
- Left backward outside mohawkLBO to RFO: a step onto the other foot, holding the edge and staying on the same lobe. No cusp.
