A counter, then a step onto the other foot. The counter changes the circle; the mohawk keeps the new one and changes the foot.
Coming out of a counter is an awkward moment to be placing a free foot: the body is checked hard against a lobe that has just reversed, and the free side is exactly what is holding that check. Letting it go to make the step is the thing that has to be practised.
Derived
LFO is three letters (foot, direction, edge): left 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.
LFO, counter to LBO, then mohawk to RFO. 2 turns on two feet, and the skater finishes on RFO.
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 RFO. Same element, mirrored.

- Left forward outside counterLFO to LBO: half a turn against the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.
- Left backward outside mohawkLBO to RFO: a step onto the other foot, holding the edge and staying on the same lobe. No cusp.
