Right backward inside choctaw

RBI to LFO: a step onto the other foot, changing edge and reversing onto a new one. No cusp.

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

Backwards on the inside edge, stepping onto the other foot to travel forwards on its outside edge, with the lobe reversing at the step. The weakest entry edge and a change of both foot and curve, which is why it turns up late.

The reward is the exit. A forward outside edge, checked, coming out of a reversal, is about the strongest position a step sequence can hand you, and it is worth the months it takes to make it quiet.
