Counter turn

Unlike three turns and brackets, where the entry and exit edges follow the same curve, in a counter the entry and exit are on opposite curves.

When executing a counter, the skater turns outward to the curve of the entry edge, and exits on a curve in the same sense as the turn.

(The opposite combination is called a rocker turn.)

Counters also appear on the USFSA's Novice-level moves in the field test.
