Skip with both hadles in the same hand to get the rythmn to start, then keep changing to both hands

Yeah, what Scrap said.

Once your skipping with both hands remember 'its all in the wrists'. Dont swing your arms round, try and keep them stationary once the rope is moving and just keep it spinning using the wrists.

Try and keep you feet only an inch or so off the ground, alternate between feet, one leg, move forwards and back, etc etc. Dont try and jump higher than you need to.

Apart from that just practice really, itll all come with time, dont get frustrated with it and you'll be spinning the rope like mayweather in no time.
