skier888 寫:Considering him skiing the same place 150 days a year, it is not exactly surprising.
Maybe this is part of the reason.
You have no idea what "skiing 150 days a year" means, and you may not last even 5 days in a roll. Yes, part of reason I ski so good is because I ski 150 days a year consistently and persistently. Mileages count.
He needs to have much better videos to back up his talk. A video that shows less traverse (so called line skiing) and hunting for turn off-piste. Right now, all we see is him stuck in the beginner techniques which he considers superior. The flat boarding technique also boils down to a beginner teaching method already used by other system that even published a book before he invent the technique. He came to the party too late and got stuck for too long.
If it is not your shameless denial, then you have less skiing knowledge than you think, and you have no ideas what "ride the skis" means. There's no system in the world talking about or do flat boards, you are plagiarizing, care to show who published the book on flatboarding? The fact is that them instructors may not even keep up with me, let alone the "beginners," "beginner teaching method"? your little knowledge is laughable. I was a late comer alright, but Taichi Skiing is so far ahead than your ordinary [XSIA] skiing system, that even takes you a life-time you cannot hope to make it.
skier888 寫:pick Kirkwood, a semi-neutral place. He still has the home court advantage. I see many of his videos skiing there. It will be very easy to beat him. You can beat him easy if you choose runs like lookout vista, or off-piste from Cornice.
This Kirkwood trail is easy compare to what I mentioned and he is already shaky.
Good ol' Jack Wang, 只會躲在人群後起哄，小知小人，等你自己能滑Kirkwood再說吧！你沒有滑過，只是道聽塗說，你的意見是不正確的，就像你跟norman所說，“你根本就不懂，還亂下葯，想把人毒死 ”
This is a run from Cornice Express, double diamond on the top, steep, irregular and gullies on the lower part; skiing is not difficult, just don't fall, you may not be able to stop the fall/slide if you do.
I said off-piste of Cornice express. You are showing a clip of the groom run under the chair, the easiest run from it. The gullies you are showing are good but they are still the easy ones.
And really, all these videos are under pretty good snow condition and that do not say much about your skiing

You basically admit it. Anybody can ski as well if they ski that many days. Your make up your lack of techniques and fluidity with mileage . That is why your black runs is so different from your blue runs.
So? Can you do outward spins and inward spins within a Giant Slalom S-turn? Do you know where to find them?
I said off-piste of Cornice express. You are showing a clip of the groom run under the chair, the easiest run from it. The gullies you are showing are good but they are still the easy ones.
No groom run on powder day, and on powder day everywhere is off-piste skiing, almost,
And really, all these videos are under pretty good snow condition and that do not say much about your skiing
and those were no powders but "sierra cement," one of toughest surfaces to ski on. Nevertheless, they are so easy, yet, none of them you can do, what should you say about your own skiing?

That is a very big "IF," but yes, if you can ski that many days a year you should be able to ski as well as me, but no, don't think you can make 5 days in a roll, not to say that you still lack of the fundamental knowledge of what "fluidity" in skiing is,
another proof that you are a beginner technique wise, look at how out of control you are where it is steeper during the first 20 seconds. You stem to turn, after that, your freeze until you can slow down, stem to turn again.

Really? How many "teaching hours" you have worked? Driving from Vancouver to Whistler to work everyday, or just part-time weekenders? How much money you have made in teaching skiing and how much money you have spent to make those money? You may think that you have a prestige "ski instructor" job/title, but to ski resorts, you low ranking ski instructors are only cheap labors.

Hmmm, a unqualified instructor challenge a license instructor for a job title. Now try to tease me for the income. Yup, I agree I may not make as much as a 老千 Taichisking.

Well, I can't believe I read all of this and even worse, now I am hopping in. Am I stupid?
Anyway, TCS, as an observer here, I tend to see little in your points that should merit your air of superiority. You have not communicated in the local language of this forum, thus most of us cannot see the merits of your point of view that you seem to think are so clear.
Let me be specific. You have been criticized for not providing your credentials and as of yet, we have seen nothing. Credibility has to be earned and bullying will actually lose you credibility. At this point, my perception is that you are in such a defensive mindset that you have lost track of any reasonable approach to communicating and teaching, both of which require credibility.
You seem to want to pick a fight with Physicsman, so I will give you my opinion of him based on my observations. Physicsman participates in this forum by providing opinions that are based in experience and, per his moniker, science. His points of view are expressed in a fair, intelligent, and convincing manner. He has earned credibility here and you should strive to follow his example. Let me assure you that I am not the head of the Physicsman fan club nor have I ever met him. My comment is only on the matter of credibility.
Further, what little substance I have heard, the 'flatboarding' stuff, has lacked any significant response to the sincere attempts of a few to engage in a meaningful discussion on the matter. As I see it, your concepts of skiing do not provide anything new or different. Most of the experienced skiers here would only consider the techniques to be a subset of their total skill set and you have failed to provide anything new for them to consider. Many of the skiers here have very broad skill sets and everyone tends to focus in on specific elements that bring them the greatest joy. It seems that is where you are coming from, but you don't seem to be onto something revolutionary.
Ski teaching is the profession for many of the members of this forum and a hobby for many others. The thought of teaching 40 students a year seems like only a days work for most of us. Regardless, we teachers have a common language and many have prompted you to speak our language so that we can have an intelligent discussion. Your failure to do so leaves us thinking that you do not have the experience or understanding of our ways, and therefore can't communicate how your ways are different. As we attempt to bridge the communication gap, we get smart a$$ed comments. You don't demonstrate respect for any of us and that gets in the way of communication. I know that works both ways, but sometimes you have to ignore a few attacks (heck, Gonzo hasn't even piped up, so you have been getting off easy).
Or maybe Ghost is right and I just re-prompted the algorithm for another formulaic response.

Oh you don't know what is professional liability insurance. Sorry about that me not explain well. I forgot you are unqualified instructor because you failed in PSIA L1. Taichi Skiing/Flatboarding: free skiing - YouTube

Why is that you cannot do tree-skiing becomes "my" pathetic? Or it is simply your shameless denial so pathetic? Interesting role reversal, you just wish that you could be me, eh?

滑雪的好壞，跟打功夫一樣，不是因為你學了那一派，而是看你能不能用你所學的技術做你要做的滑雪而言‧前面所說的三個滑雪的技術： skidded parallel turn, pure carving, and Flatboarding, skidded parallel turn 是以skidding來減慢速度，速度相形之下比較慢，所以是最實際、最普通的技術‧Pure carving 最快，但是缺點是你一定要轉才能carve，因而減少了向下/向前的速度‧Flatboarding用的技術是，read this, "slipping turn," not skidding， slipping-turn滑的滑線比 carving直，所以比pure-carve下山的速度快‧So, I can almost always keep up with a carver when free skiing, see how I caught up the yellow jacket at later part of the clip,
While common skiers look down on "skidding" or "sideslipping," nevertheless, "sideslipping" is the foundation of high level skiing, if you want to do tree/off-piste skiing,
see the bounce of the camera? That's caused by rough terrain. And I teach level 3 beginners "from sideslip direct to parallel," by passing the Christie turn.
Snowrider說我滑的是正確的，你沒有“實際”跟我滑過你是不知道我是怎麼滑的。

: The ski guy is a man named Ichin Shen. He has never had a formal teacher in ANY martial art where he got beyond the basic lvel of a beginner.
: He writes a lot of articles and posts on the boards on Taijiquan but his words are very philosophical and 99% BS showing a complete lack of Taijiquan practice or understanding.
: His Shen Style Taijiquan is based upon the 88 posture Taijiquan created in the PRC. For those of you unfamiliar with 88 posture Taijiquan, it was created after 48 posture Taijiquan and is 95% the same as traditional Yang Chengfu's routine. the man who is credited with its creation was mainly looking for a name and was a really high level Taijiquan player as was the case with the creators of 24, 48, and 42 Taijiquan.
: Many teachers in the PRC refuse to teach 88 posture because of its obvious ripoff of traditional Yang style.
: So, Mr. Shen is a person of limited training who bases his style on probably the worst Taijiquan routine to be created since 1950. With this in mind, how good could he be? Not very. And he LOVES to get into arguments with people. I have yet to see a post where his arrogance did not end up in name calling. So, it is best to just ignore him and perhaps he will go away. He is, after all, really only interested in making a name for himself and making money through Taijiquan. In themselves, there is nothing wrong with that, but he has yet to learn well, humble himself to a teacher in exchange for training....so he has neither the knowledge, temperment, nor background to be of any concern to anyone.

This is how you turn on steep.
Guess that's your little knowledge doesn't shed the light for you; in "natural" conditions, skiing is never perfectly smooth, and the recoveries without missing a beat are what the skills are. I did say that you lack of the fundamental knowledge to know what "fluidity" is.
Hmmm, a unqualified instructor challenge a license instructor for a job title. Now try to tease me for the income. Yup, I agree I may not make as much as a 老千 Taichisking.
So you are a cheap labor for the ski school, and no, just having "ski instructor" title doesn't mean you ski well; so, yes, 你是打腫臉充胖子。

I did tell you that you shameless net-bashers are all the same, and this is one typical example, speculating without facts, and dare not to respond with subject substance, they are more like juvenile dogs barking from behind their hideout. Guess that's why you feel "warm and fussy" with your own kind.

Yup, "professional liability insurance," eh? Sucker. No, I was never in PSIA, you shameless lair.
To speculate yourself can do better than a 3-year-old only make you as dump as "太極吹牛滑雪”
Did I tell you that just follow my words won't make your words anymore sense than a 3-year-old? 太極吹牛滑雪 play you well, so it ain't dumb, but you're too retarded to know.

Laughable, "to kick your ass" by turning yourself to be a human computer virus? No, that's called“賴驢打滾”，you are kicking your own ass. That sounds pretty "retarded" too me, or anybody.
Congrulation to Taichi. never change in 20 years maybe.
Thanks for digging in my past, never change in 20 years is “功力深厚”; so, you've proved yourself a bitter little knowledge once again.

When you put a square peg into a round hole and call it fit, you don't know neither things, thus, little knowledge.
其實偶也笑過 Taichiskiing many times, but I know that everyone has his/her own freedom to choose what to believe. Also I don't even know if could enjoy that much and ski so fast if I were at his age. I think that we should all give him a praise and all be proud of having him in chinsee skiing society ... because he has proven and been showing something one-of-a-kind skiing skill.
