I didn't watch his video, but what you describe sounds like a classic push with some weird angles? With no "S" under-push, it is not a double push.
From your comment, you're really not seeing it.
Both feet are doing 'S' to either side of the body, nonstop and without being lifted off the ground.
It's just Eddy's 'hawking' drill (starting at 1:40) except swapping feet, and more scissored than shown.
You've never done Crazy Legs? Maybe you know it under a different name?
What do you call adductor/abductor squeezes where you push your edges out to 2 hips wide and then bring them in?
Edges are on the big toe side / \ pushing out, on the little toe side \ / pulling in?
Anyway, once you can actually do ^that drill, enough to accelerate, throw in a scissor.
If you can do a scissor, and keep acceleration, do alternating foot scissor.
That's Crazy Legs. Watch the feet on the right side in this split:
Notice he's *not* doing an edge change - he's on big toe edges constantly. That's where we can do one better.
Now do the same thing except with corresponding (skates parallel in coronal plane) edges.
Make the scissor deeper.
BOOM - slow speed double push with no lift and no glide phase. It does make your muscles work constantly (no glide phase) and it requires STRONG adductors, but it is just *awesome* in the wet.
