What Is The Definition Of Rocker In Figure Skating?
1. This is a one-foot turn in which a skater pivots to create a change in direction using a single stake edge. This creates a point between the two curves of travel on the ice, with the point facing toward the center of the first curve. The opposite of a rocker is a counter, in which the turn point faces away from the center of the first curve.
