Right forward outside 1½ twizzle

RFO to RBI: 1½ rotations on one foot, travelling, one curl and no cusp.

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.

One and a half rotations from a forward outside edge, leaving backwards on an inside one. Same foot, and the blade never changes which way it is curving: the edge letter changes only because you turned round.

The half rotation is what makes it impossible to fake. A whole one can be assembled out of a three turn and a step and still look roughly right from the side; a half cannot, because you finish facing the way you did not start. Either the rotation was continuous or you are standing on the wrong edge, and there is no third outcome.
