Right backward inside counter

RBI to RFI: half a turn against the circle, holding the edge and leaving on a new one.

Backwards on the inside edge, rotating away from the circle, out forwards on the inside edge and onto a new lobe. It has a reputation and most of it is deserved: the weakest entry edge combined with the least helpful rotation.

It is also the clearest illustration of what the four turns actually are. Same entry as the back inside three, same rotation as the back inside bracket, same held edge as the back inside rocker. The combination is the only thing that makes it its own turn.
