Right backward outside three turn

RBO to RFI: half a turn into the circle, changing edge and staying on the same lobe.

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.

Backwards on the outside edge, rotating into the circle, out forwards on the inside edge. Entering backwards changes the problem entirely: you cannot watch the turn coming, so the timing has to be felt.

The rotation itself is small. What takes the practice is arriving at it on a real edge, with no flat before it, and not letting the free leg wind up beforehand. If the free side leads, the free leg decides where the turn happens, and you do not.
