Want to learn the double push? Stare at this (or take a workshop, and you will learn the double push step by step). One key to the double push is to set your skate down underneath your body (as simple as getting your knees together), not outside it.
Another bonafide necessity is to extend your leg during the double push phase as well (see side view), since the double push is a push, and a push is not a pull and neither is the double push, otherwise it would be called the pull-push!
Any pull associated with the double push is simply the unweighted, rolling recovery of your pushing skate back underneath your body, made possible by a heel carve which redirects your skate back over center line. Enough talk. Just watch. Then do. Let us know how it goes! Thanks to Wibbit for being lazy and making me do this myself.
