Cloco

Classification Algorithm: def classify_move(move): [...] → Output: E-Tier
Rationale Display: The "Cloco" is an E-Tier move due to its low Biomechanical Complexity (a basic pivot) and low Neural Demand (the rotation is intuitive). It has a very low Fragility Risk and offers minimal Scoring Potential as a standalone trick, serving primarily as a foundational element.

System-Check: Access granted. Prerequisite mastery of Fish, Snake, and Basic Forwards/Backwards Skating logged.
Physical Attributes: Basic ankle stability, good knee flexion, and core engagement are required.
Safety Mandates:
- Gear: Full set of protective gear (wrist guards, knee pads, helmet) is mandatory.
- Environment: Must be performed on a dry, clean surface free of debris. System flags if user's last logged session was in a dusty environment.

Name: Cloco
Biomechanical Key: The single most important physical mechanism for success is rotational weight transfer. The move is initiated by shifting the body's center of mass over the pivoting foot, allowing the other foot to move freely.

Phased Guide:
1. Approach: Skate forward with a slight staggered stance (one foot slightly ahead of the other) towards a cone.
2. Initiate Pivot: As you approach the cone, turn your head and shoulders to look over the shoulder in the direction you want to spin.
3. Weight Shift: Transfer your weight entirely onto the heel of your forward foot. The rear foot should be light or lifted slightly off the ground.
4. Rotate: Use your upper body momentum to smoothly pivot on the heel of the forward skate, completing a 180-degree turn.
5. Exit: Land on your other foot and transition into a backward skating stance.

Gear Database Query: INPUT YOUR SETUP: [Boot Model: FR1], [Frame: Seba Deluxe], [Wheels: 80mm/85A]
Personalized Output:
- Failure Points: The stiffer Seba Deluxe frame can make it harder to initiate the heel pivot if your weight shift isn't precise. The wide base of the FR1 boot can also reduce a skater's feel for the pivot point.
- Optimization Tips: With your 85A wheels, your grip will be excellent. Focus on a very deliberate, almost "sudden" weight shift to overcome the higher friction and allow for a smooth pivot. Keep your knees deeply bent to lower your center of gravity.
- Maintenance Alert: This move can cause accelerated wear on the rear two wheels of your pivoting foot due to concentrated friction. Check them for flat spots after extended practice sessions.

Error-Specific Drills:
- Mistake: Sticking during the pivot.
- Drill: Practice the heel pivot on a very smooth, frictionless surface (e.g., polished floor) without cones to isolate the weight transfer.
- Mistake: Losing balance after the pivot.
- Drill: Practice holding the final backward stance for 3 seconds after the 180-degree turn, without moving away from the cone.
Neural Sync Drills:
- Exercise: Perform the move while saying the name of a fruit with each successful pivot to engage a different cognitive pathway and improve automaticity.

WSSF Rule Reference: The "Cloco" can be combined with other basic pivots and weaves.
High-Scoring Combos: Cloco → Backwards Fish → Backward One-Foot Slalom
Flow-State Score: Low. The Cloco is a relatively smooth transition that does not significantly disrupt flow, making it easy to integrate into a run.

Physics Breakdown: The "Cloco" is an application of the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. By pulling your arms and body in tightly as you pivot, you decrease your moment of inertia, allowing for a faster rotation.
Pre-Hab Protocol: Ankle rotations and dynamic stretches for the calves and hamstrings.
Neural Load Estimate: ~20%. This is a low-to-medium cognitive load, as it relies on a single, well-defined motor action.

Competition Readiness Checklist:
- [✓] Can perform the move through 10 cones without touching any.
- [✓] Can land the final stance without wobbling.
- [✓] Can perform the move in both directions (left and right).
Performance Metrics:
- Rotation Time: <1.5 seconds per pivot.
- Heel-to-Landing time: <0.5 seconds.

Attributed Quote: "The Cloco isn't about power; it's about feel. Let the weight drop into your heel like a falling stone, and the turn will happen by itself." - [Name of Elite Skater]

Surface Grip Index:
- Sport Tile: 1.0
- Concrete: 0.7
- Smooth Asphalt: 0.6
- Wet/Dusty: 0.2
Maintenance Impact: This move causes localized wear on the rear two wheels of the pivoting skate. Rotate your wheels regularly (every 2-3 sessions) to prevent flat spots and ensure even wear.
Environmental Warning: EXTREME DANGER. Avoid performing on wet, sandy, or dusty surfaces. The low-friction pivot required for this move is highly unpredictable on such surfaces, significantly increasing the risk of a slip and fall.
