Right backward inside mohawk

RBI to LFI: a step onto the other foot, holding the edge and staying on the same lobe. No cusp.

Also called C step, open C step or closed C step. Other names.

Backwards on the inside edge, stepping onto the other foot to run forwards on its inside edge, still on the same circle. Less used than the forward inside mohawk and more awkward for the same reason every back inside entry is awkward: the free leg is on the inside of the circle with nowhere to sit.

It is worth practising anyway, because it is the exit half of what the forward inside mohawk teaches, and a skater who can only go one way through the change of foot has learnt half a move.
