For a one-footed fm in a change of rotational direction, when should skaters change feet?

In a one-footed forward inside mohawk, the timing of changing feet is crucial for maintaining balance and executing the maneuver effectively. Skaters should change feet only when they are changing rotational directions. This means that the transition between the two different foot positions should occur at the point where the skater is transitioning from one direction of rotation to the opposite.

Performing the foot change at this specific moment allows skaters to maintain the flow and continuity of movement, ensuring a smooth and controlled execution of the maneuver. If the foot is changed at a different time, it could disrupt the line of travel or the overall aesthetic of the skating performance, potentially leading to loss of points during judging.

Changing feet anytime during the maneuver or at the end of a routine would not effectively support the required technical precision and could negatively impact the performance. Similarly, changing feet only when executing the next forward mohawk ignores the essential point in the movement where the foot switch should naturally occur to optimize balance and control.
