OK here's an etude for stride playing. A couple things to keep in mind. Put the pedal down on every and life it up on the eighth. when you play stride the quarter notes shouldn't be real quarter notes, they should have space in them. With this exercise you should be able for MOST of the etude to do exactly the same thing with the pedal on every beat and everything fits in.
