How much do you shred????

Post by pedler »

I looked for a similare poll to this one but couldnt find one. For the last two year (my first two) i would only have about one session a week at OSU for 1-4 hours. but this summer ive been practicing on my lonsome for 1-2 hours 3-4 days a week, and traveling to OSU for sessions. its been making all the difference.

Just wondering the extrent of the franatics out there, or if people are crazy good with minimal effort....

I used to play 2 hours a day, period. But lately I haven't had the energy with work and all. But I'm going to start schooling again hardcore, really soon.

I do it a lot, even though I'm not too good, but I can do most two add tricks. But, If I were payed 1 cent an hour, I would make 24 cents a day!!

I try and shred solo for 1.5-2 hrs a day. I'm not too good, but for only shreding since April, I think I have improved alot. I think that schooling moves solo, and meeting for sessions once or twice a week helps alot.

I voted 2-5 hours a week.


CIC usually gets together every Thursday and Sunday. Each session averages about 2.5 hours. I never play alone, so I never practice/drill. I know I should...but I don't, its not fun.


I do this for fun.

YAY!!! SOMEONE GOOD TO SHRED WITH!! I'm excited with the possibility, just wait and see, Vegas Jam did so much for my game already.

Man, I used to pride myself on saying that I shredded for 4 hours a DAY, but that was over a year ago, but when school starts, I'll be playing for at least an hour a day (praying), bear minimum, not including Saturday sessions.

you = spoiled... one word...Ohio! at least from what the internet tells me, that seems like a shred capital location.
And getting the guys at OSU to kick is like pulling teeth. But i get your point. I think you need good shred biddies and schoolin time to improve. but the people that i know that are amazing kick most their time alone. you should be able to make up for it in LA.

I usually shred for at least 3 hours on saturday, and have 1 hour or so shred sessions at bum's house a couple days a week.. I haven't had that privilege lately though... I've been working too hard and not had any energy to shred... not even a no fear could bring my energy up... it sucks man!

but hell, now that I'm off of work, I think I can shred a bit more now... and I got some new shoes to try out... (CT 300's mother fuckeR!)

And bum, in this case, it's bare, not bear. :D
