I had one before. Thought I'd just start over and give this a shot since it seems to be helping a lot of people. I shred solo pretty much all the time so if people can give me challenges I think it'd be really helpful. If you need a basis for what to challenge me on, just read the last page or two of my blog at any given time and that'll give you a fair idea. Otherwise just give me challenges you think would fit in with a very solid guiltless player who is trying to push a tripless game. And I'll do a cool list of things I need to do and what I've accomplished on this post as I go along because that's an awesome way I see people doing things.

EDIT: slaps head. Um. Yeah here are some things I need to work on:

same leg double dexing on my flip. I can do datw both ways flip and DOD but that's pretty much it. .

fairy. I'd like to get better at it

stepping shuffle

I'd like to note that I'm already working up to things like magellan > plo rpt x20 and smear > pixie ss mirage rpt x20 so if you could kind of shy away from mundane toe to toe drills (for pixie, at least) that'd be swell. So if you could, just give me combos, new tricks, other drills, etc that you can think of. That's it. Thanks.

So far . . .
atomsmasher b2b
DSO b2b -------- done
swifter
flip far symple swirl -------- done

clip set barrage bsos
fairy muted clipper bs ----- did
torque and drifter bsos ----- did
stepping far legover>fear bs ------ one side
magellan>nallegam(fairy pickup) BS

Pixie anything, mirage, pickup, legover, butter, etc (can be ss or op) out of DATW ----- did a bunch of these both sides. Like smear and dimwalk and plo and that sort of thing.

Half of Rubberman, starting on each trick.
Atomsmasher>Atomsmasher (if done, do mooooreeee!)
DOD>ss DLO rpt (switch with bubbabeater if too easy)
DSO>DSO
Far Symple Swirl bs? If you've gotten it, try Swifter. Actually just try swifter.

Too hard/easy?

yesyes! These are perfect! I especially like that DOD > ss DLO repeat. I'm going to love trying that. I've done DSO b2b but I'll do it again. Swifter's a bit crazy but I don't see why I can't come close to it. So I'll try it.

man people don't really go to challenges sections all that much, eh? Or is it just a lull? Oh well. CHALLENGE!!!

50 tiltless without being out of breath at the end. please limit your clipper stalls and legovers. make sure it's VERY both sided.

blurry whirl > butter > butter > blurry whirl

barfly x 4 without losing balance > guiltless string

20 ducking clippers in a row

20 contacts of ducking clipper > diving clipper

spin clip x 5 each side

spin clip > gyro clip repeat.

recruit a new player

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 12 Dec 2007 16:26

man diving clip > ducking clip rpt is really much harder than I thought it was. I've been doing them more lately but not going for records or anything. Damn. Thanks a lot Matt. You're the man for drills.

keep em coming guys, I'll add them and try to get through it as I shred. Today was 90% challenge doing and drilling. Kinda sucked but it definitely opened my eyes to what I need to do. I'm amped.

blizzard>atomsmasher>dimwalk>blizzard>Legbeater>blurrywhirl

lol, what a random challenge.

DTank126 · Post by **DTank126** » 12 Dec 2007 18:56

hmmm, how bout

-tripwalk>vortex>pdx whirl
-fairybeater>ripwalk>barfly
-diving butter>ducking butter (rpt)
-fear and fudge bsos

Meh? Idk. Oh, and how bout mobius bsos.

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 12 Dec 2007 20:19

ha those are great. And doug that one with tripwalk is actually very doable since it'd be on my strong tripwalk AND my strong vortex. . . and a pdx whirl can always be used to last ditch flaily leg out and try to do something snazzy.

fear and fudge bsos

. hm. I'll have to step up a bit on my fairy.

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 01 Jan 2008 12:06

I've been playing a bunch in LA but usually just enjoying the sun and different environment. So I haven't really been trying many of the challenges. But still I got to a couple. So it's been updated. Check it. Submit. Thanks fellas.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 03 Jan 2008 09:01

osis>stepping bsos (like maybe osis>ripwalk>drifter>rpt or something)
osis>ducking bsos
clip set barrage bsos
fairy muted clipper bs
torque and drifter bsos? dunno how hard that is for you.
stepping far legover>fear bs
magellan>nallegam(fairy pickup) BS

feel free to ignore or modify any of these that are too hard or too easy, or that you just dont find interesting. its certainly what i would do.

in chicago i was able to set and then attack to net with a reverse outide dink

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 09 Jan 2008 07:53

word - thanks Pete. I've been able to do a bunch of those for a bit now but I really should do more torques, especially flip. So thanks for the heads up. And I'm 105% sure I can do mini rubberman. I'll try it next time I play.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 11 Jan 2008 06:48

spinning osis>crispy torque>stepping ss whirl or rev whirl (whichever)

ive come so close but just cant do it, i want you to hit it.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 20 Jan 2008 07:54

Godzilla>Gravedigger

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 20 Jan 2008 08:30

Symp Eggbeating Symp Mirage

Fairy symple pickup>Pixie symple legover and rpt if you can

Pixie anything, mirage, pickup, legover, butter, etc (can be ss or op) out of DATW

After you complete that one...rpt it

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 22 Jan 2008 16:05

those are great, Ben. If you had given them to me like. . two hours ago I would've tried them when I played. They're very do-able I think. . . except s. egg s. mirage

As a note to myself, I completed a challenge I made for myself:

toe drifter > DLO rpt x2

and I plan on doing 6 contacts of schmoe > dimwalk rpt.

today was a shred day. Tomorrow I'll see about doing some more challenges.
