HOW TO DO IT

Scratch Terje

The source starts with toe-side Scratch, enters nose support, rotates 180 with the tail raised, releases through another 180 and receives support at the tail. Further supported/release phases alternate.

Preparation and setting

Reliable nose and tail support, deliberate releases and the source's Scratch component.

Available preparation and unresolved execution

Establish the scratch entry under instruction.
Receive nose support with the tail clear.
Perform the documented supported half-turn.
Release through the next half-turn.
Receive tail support rather than crashing onto a flat board.
End deliberately before adding another repetition.

Learning and practice

Begin with the first support change. Add repetitions only when the previous phase has a controlled finish. The text does not fully explain the initial Scratch departure, which remains a review point.

Errors and corrections

Forced transitions: reduce repetitions. Rotation lost between supports: rehearse a single release-and-receive link. Tail slaps down: restore clearance and absorption.

Observable checks

Alternating supported and released phases remain distinguishable. A full entry lesson needs Scratch verification.

SOURCE-BACKED DETAIL

Characteristics

Record type: alternating supported rotation

teaching summary — coaching review required

S5: from the scratch into a nose press, rotate 180 with the tail raised, release into another 180 and receive the next support through the tail; further press/release phases alternate. Errors: losing the rotation through a transition; forced movement. The teacher suggests fewer repetitions first and reliable balance over both supports.

editorial review notes

The rider-associated name is not a person card or a generic synonym for every alternating butter.
