Loop + toe loop
Loop (RBO, off the edge) straight into a toe loop (RBO, off the pick), 2 rotations in all.
Also called 1Lo+1T. Other names.

The loop lands on the edge it took off from, so the first jump hands the second its takeoff directly. With no pick anywhere, everything depends on landing the first on an edge that is still curving cleanly.
The loop lands RBO and the toe loop takes off from RBO: one edge, held, with no step or turn on it. In a jump sequence the skater may hop or step between the jumps; in a combination there is nothing between them.
The toe loop is the usual second jump. The landing edge is already its takeoff, so the free foot reaches back, the toe goes in behind, and the pick gives the lift that the remaining speed cannot.
Derived
The loop takes off RBO off the edge and lands RBO; the toe loop takes off from that same edge off the pick and lands RBO. 2 rotations in all, written 1Lo+1T on a protocol sheet.
Made of the loop and the toe loop. Nothing here is stored on the page beyond the two jumps and the count.
A skater who rotates clockwise takes off LBO and lands on LBO: the same combination, mirrored.
