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

A bracket into a counter from a backward edge. Entering blind, rotating against the curve twice, and changing circle at the second turn.

The two turns look similar on the ice and feel quite different: the bracket has a cusp pointing out of the circle and leaves you on the same lobe, the counter has the same rotation but takes the lobe away. Doing them back to back is the clearest way to learn which is which.

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 counter to LBO. 2 turns on one foot, and the skater finishes on LBO.

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.
