RFO → RBO → RFI. A skater who rotates the other way traces LFO: the same element, generated from this one.

A counter into a three turn, forwards. The counter fights the curve and changes the circle; the three turn then goes with the new curve and stays on it. So the cluster is hard then unremarkable, which is its own trap: the three turn arrives while you are still recovering from the counter and tends to be thrown away.

Skate the second turn as deliberately as the first. It is the one that leaves you with an edge to travel on.

Derived

RFO is three letters (foot, direction, edge): right foot, forwards, outside edge. Every edge in the guide is written that way, so RBI is a right foot travelling backwards on an inside edge.

RFO, counter to RBO, then three turn to RFI. 2 turns on one foot, and the skater finishes on RFI.

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 LFO. Same element, mirrored.
