In order to even land a double loop in figure skating, it is crucial for you to know how to do a single. It is recommended for you to have sharp skates, ankle support, and flexible/comfortable clothing (no jeans).

When you do a single loop you have to pull your arms in a cross lightly to get the rotation . With the double though you will need to work out and have really strong leg muscles. The idea of the jump is to master a rotation without using your toe pick by jumping off one leg and doing a rotation and landing on it again.

In order to do a double loop, you will have to pull in your arms really tightly to get more spin. Second, you need to be able to push yourself off your leg hard and fast. This is probably the most important part. You need to get higher up in the air to be able to fit in two rotations.

When you first try doing a double loop, you should always have someone watching, just in case you get injured. It's OK to wear a helmet for the first couple of times if you feel really uncomfortable without it, or just not confident.

While skating forwards on your left foot, push with your right toepick. Then, do a left outside three-turn. Once you're backwards, reach back with your right foot and pick your right toe into the ice. Push up and rotate twice around, and land going backwards on your right foot.
