Right backward outside rocker-counter-double twizzle

RBO → RFO → RBO → RBO, back where it started: 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 rocker into a counter into a double twizzle, from a backward entry. October 2026 adds it to the last section of Skills 8, as one of two optional directions, and it is the longest single-foot run in the test.

The counter is the pivot of it in both senses. It has to undo the rocker’s change of lobe and then hold still enough for the rotation to be metered, and there is no step, no push and no glide anywhere in which to fix a bad one. Everything that goes wrong here goes wrong in the first half.

• Right backward outside rockerRBO to RFO: half a turn into the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
• Right forward outside counterRFO to RBO: half a turn against the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
• Right backward outside double twizzleRBO to RBO: 2 rotations on one foot, travelling, 2 curls and no cusp.
