TFR is not fast, correct or not? What it does is to challenge your thinking on what is your center. Remember you need to have the tips move down hill first. It also challenges you to not make involuntary (rotary) movements. You only have slight counter in the beginning to work with. You have to be at the right spot and the spot sometimes is scary of unnatural if you have never been on it. Most of all, it takes concentration. You can’t do it relax mentally.Observer 寫:I had HH's first VHS video tape, yes tape, that came out years ago, "Anyone can be a Expert Skier". I have been trying to learn the PMTS way though I was trained the CSIA way. I have all HH's DVDs.
Some of you may not know that PMTS is at odds with the PSIA (EpicSki). The basic criticism from HH is the 'wedge' or snowplow and the, what he called the dreaded, up un-weigh motion (essentially, PSIA and CSIA are similar.)
PMTS promotes the phantom move, TFR (two footed release), brush carve...
Instead of a long drawn discussion, let me summarize what I feel about PMTS:
Basically, it is for advanced skiers, for racing, and it takes speed. Should be good for pku
I have 'gone back' to the CSIA way basically, because I ski 'slow'
It is hard to learn PMTS correctly from the books and videos alone. One reason is most people ignore the easiest (understanding) exercise. Ask yourself, have you tried ball control exercise? The other reason is that it requires good alignment. There are movements that you simply can’t do if you don’t have good alignment. You will doubt yourself or the method when that happens.
If you can’t do phantom javelin, try to learn it. It is a simple exercise. It will really improve your skiing and may even reveal things you don’t know about yourself physically. You don’t have to learn the whole package to get benefit.
