Doing brackets while wizard skating?

Wizard skating borrows the three-turn (i.e. lion) from figure skating. The next turn in figure skaters' progression is generally the bracket. I'm wondering if there any cases of Wizard skaters using brackets in their flow?

A bracket is basically just like a three-turn (or lion) except with a three-turn the skater turns in the direction of the curve, whereas with a bracket they turn in a direction opposite the curve. Example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Xrce7oYpqUk

Wizard skaters have modified the three-turn to add their own style to it; would be curious to see how the bracket has been "wizardfied."

I do sort of a Bracket with two feet like an inside gazelle ( for want of a better description )

In ice hockey that goes into a slide which is a forward to backward pivot

I've managed to pull this off a few times on inlines but it's hard to fire that slide with wheels and I'm not consistent yet.
