wow, i had the exact same problem!.
i could do fouettes for hours, but i couldn't do a simple double pirouette!.
i found out my main problem though!.
i was pushing too much to the side instead of upward!.
as soon as i fixed that problem, i could do about one and a half pirouettes!.
then i'd fall out of it!.
so i watched a tutorial on how to do a pirouette by 'just for kix' to see if my technique was wrong!.
here's the link:

once i fixed that, i could do two full pirouettes!.

i've yet to do a consistent triple, though!.
i have done a triple a couple times, but when i try again, i fall out!.
it's really frustrating lol!.
so i guess we both just need to practice more!.

have fun and good luck! :DWww@QuestionHome@Com
