HOW TO DO IT

ビッテリ / ビッテリー Naming Crosswalk

ビッテリ and ビッテリー occur in Rama's lesson naming. Historical Vitelli is a comparison candidate; spelling similarity alone does not validate a global alias.

Preparation and setting

Original Japanese label, instructor context and separate toe/heel lesson links.

How to understand / apply it

  1. Retain both attested spellings.
  2. Keep the front/back applications linked to their actual lessons.
  3. Describe their entry and recovery independently.
  4. Compare with historical usage without automatically merging.
  5. Record any translation decision.

How to learn / practise

Use the existing Batch 21 front/back content for movement practice. This page teaches naming and navigation, not a replacement invented curriculum.

Errors and corrections

An English working spelling can conceal a different meaning. Forced equivalence removes provenance. Do not infer identical counterrotation from the historical name.

Observable checks

Readers can find both spellings and understand the unresolved equivalence.

Review note

Terminology/equivalence requires source-specific review; no universal alias established.

HOW TO DO IT

Bitter Turn — Back

The paired back lesson emphasizes flexion before deep positioning and a turn finish that may lead uphill. Exact stance and edge mapping are not fully described in the caption.

Preparation and setting

Ordinary controlled turns, predictable uphill finishes and enough clear space.

Available preparation and unresolved execution

  1. Choose a clear line with room for the turn finish.
  2. Use established turn flexion rather than a sudden collapse.
  3. Verify the source's back orientation before selecting body placement.
  4. Track how the finish changes speed and travel direction.
  5. Recover through a practiced ordinary turn.
  6. Retain missing source-specific mechanics for review.

Learning and practice

Practise ordinary uphill turn finishes first. The named deep version still needs detailed technical evidence.

Errors and corrections

Turning across an occupied lane: revise line choice. Sudden hip drop: restore support. Assuming Back means a backside spin: preserve carving context.

Observable checks

Limited movement context retained; exact entry/body placement remains unresolved.

01

Additional teaching summary — coaching review required

Hirama (S2): begin with less knee extension and practise through an uphill-turn phase. Travels across the slope with reduced visibility; check surrounding traffic.

02

Additional editorial review notes

Named counterpart of Bitter Turn — Front; no universal FS/BS spin classification is inferred.

03

Additional editorial review notes

Rama (S9) cautions against excessive early knee extension and uses an uphill-finishing practice context.
