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

A rocker from a backward edge into a choctaw. The lobe reverses at the rocker and reverses again at the step, so the skater finishes curving the way they started while having crossed the ice.

The choctaw is the harder half. Changing foot and lean at the same instant is difficult from a settled edge and worse from one you have just turned onto, and hesitation shows as a flat between the two lobes.

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, rocker to LFI, then choctaw to RBO. 2 turns on two feet, and the skater finishes on RBO.

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.

Build on

Left backward inside rockerLBI to LFI: half a turn into the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
Left forward inside choctawLFI to RBO: a step onto the other foot, changing edge and reversing onto a new one. No cusp.
