Best b2b exercise drills

Post by PoisonTaffy »

I'm looking for easy, basic back to back drills that help exercise fundamental skill sets.

I find, for example, that doing a bazillion clipper->clipper reaps huge advantages in focus, pace and stamina. On the flip side, toe->toe seems to be mostly a worthless and painfully mind numbing drill.

What b2b drills do you recommend, that exercise more than just the trick in the drill itself?

I do ripwalks for stamina, and ducking clippers for super runs.

Ripwalks for stamina sounds intense! How many do you usually do before you're spent?

I've been thinking about gyro clippers for spinning and spotting.

Yeah, I was going to recommend gyro clippers b2b. I found this to be invaluable when learning gyro tricks on flip, such as vortex/gdlo/mobius.

Another good warmup drill that I like, is osis-ss clipper rpt, and then gyro clipper-ss clipper repeat.

Pixie ss mirage>Rpt is great for your pixies....I find that plo>rpt is a little to easy and lets you get away with sloppy pixies.

i feel like you could easily do stuff like

ducking/diving clipper > stepping ss clipper/ss butterfly/whirl rpt
spinning clipper > osis >rpt sounds like fun as well
mirage/illusion > ss mirage/illusion > rpt is good too (i guess mixing it up will help also (mirage>ss illusion f.e.))
