Hello everyone, been a long time. I had my first couple of solo sessions this week in the first time probably since summer 2011. I have a feeling I'm ready to get back at seriously playing consistently. I need some help with coming up with drills of fundamentals and goals to work toward that don't involve big tricks. I'd way rather be able to hit 20 genuine than a single fiver. I have no problems with that, I just find I enjoy having consistent runs more than hitting big tricks, personally.
So here are some of the things I've hit since I've been back:
-Legover > Mirage 22 contacts (usually 7-8 on a try)
-Infinity x 15 (usually 5-6 on a try)
-Osis x 11 (usually 3-4 on a try)
-XBD Rake x 12 (usually 4-5 on a try)
-Clipper x 22 strong side, 7 on flipside (only tried once )
-Ripwalk BSOS
-Diving Mirage and Diving clipper BSOS in separate runs
-Gyro mirage BSOS
I'd like to focus on downtime and mid-time. My stepping and atomic still work, but are all over the place. Also, does anyone shred in L.A.? I will be moving there this summer. So give me some drills and some stuff to work towards.

I've been doing some slow controlled clipper>flapper>rpt until u like, a bit. Good for balance. Good for clippers. Maybe you like.

Ben, it's awesome to see you're back into kicking. I always read your diet/fitness posts on Facebook. I've just started some practice on swirl. This seems like a great trick to help develop balance and clipper set control.
Here are some things I can think of off the top of my head:
Here are some things I can think of off the top of my head:
- around the world and orbit practice could supplement your legover and pickup training
- down > osis > far mirage, rpt
- down > osis > osis > down, rpt
- consecutive gyro clippers
- if you clear your stepping sets the majority of the time blur will probably train your stepping better than ripwalks
- I find atomic legover easier than legbeater if you're looking to start from scratch with your atomic sets
- consider torque if you're doing lots of osis and mirage practice

Re: Back at it - Need drills to rebuild foundations
Alright thanks dudes, I was looking for stuff a little more basic than that but it will do. I've never really been able to do DATW (orbit? the new terms came out when I was on hiatus) so some drills to work up to that would be good.

I think we can further dilute those drills. Here's what I do when I really just want lots of contacts:Iron Clad Ben wrote:Alright thanks dudes, I was looking for stuff a little more basic than that but it will do.

- legover > op toe > op toe, rpt
- pickup > op toe > op toe, rpt
- inside > near clipper > op inside > near clipper, rpt
- clipper > pickup, rpt
- clipper > legover, rpt
- osis > clipper, rpt
Orbit is just around the world dexing the opposite direction (out > in). So double around the world and double orbit would still apply. There are some pretty light drills that should help with those:
- around the world/orbit > op toe, rpt
- around the world/orbit x 10
Sorry if I'm overwhelming you with ideas to try! It's just good to see you kicking.
