Ski video by Blake

[Blake]

I tried really hard to post this on a new thread, but I can't tell what any buttons say on this
thing, so... I hope this is alright. These are three new videos and two are informational so
it's kind of relevant.

This first one we feel is the best we've ever made. It's a compilation with music of mainly
2 seasons, including this season with groomed skiing which I usually don't include, or put
much effort into, in our videos. For anyone who's interested in the commentary videos
below, I hope that you'll start with this one. This may not play in every European country
because of copyright so anyone who can't see it could click our 2 newest seasonal videos
and see the same shots if they want to. This is our best though. I'm a huge Dio fan.


This one is a commentary showing multiple ways of skiing moguls with demonstrations.
It shows the way that I look at mogul skiing and shows how different styles are all related.
I say "this is really all just mogul skiing" and at the end I wrote "because of "styles" people
are not united". I am trying to show the connectedness of all these things, so if this turns
into an argument about what style is best, you have truly missed the whole point. If you
look at mogul skiing differently, that's fine, but I hope if anyone has a disagrees with
this, that they have demonstrations of all of these things that are better than mine. The
point is that all styles are connected and so arguing between styles is pointless and people
should be united. I only say that the Olympic way is a good way, that's all I say, and actually
I don't even say that.


This one shows the way that I approach all mountain skiing. This is a little less simple to
understand than the last one. Again, just my way, not necessarily the best or the right
way. I am not trying to sound like I'm saying it's necessarily the best, even if I think it
is. However, if I avoided opinions all together in these things, I'd have nothing to say. I
say at the end "when your way of skiing meets your expectations, then it is the right
technique for you". This has a theme of 'no right and wrong, what works for you is what's
right for you'... especially towards the end. The PSIA doesn't look the same as the CSIA or
the Swiss Ski School, so who is right? Everyone and no one. A good audience that I
envision for this one would be people who want to get better but don't take many lessons.
Most people in the lift lines in Colorado I believe fall into this category, or if not, think of
weekend, college warriors for example, they want to ski their best like anyone else but
probably don't buy lessons. Anyone who understands this and agrees is the audience.
That won't be everyone and that's fine.


This may come as a surprise to you, but I don't tend to do well in online arguments...
Just Kidding! That shouldn't surprise anyone at this point LOL

Any arguing about this contradicts some of the points of these videos.

I know that there are different languages here. The mogul commentary is pretty
understandable just by watching it. The second one unfortunately may be really hard for
people to understand. Maybe someone can translate some, but honestly, some of that
stuff isn't even easy to say in English.

[Blake]

These three I am linking to mainly just for if people can't see the first one due to a copyright
issue like I said. These are our three seasonal videos. The shots in that first video are all
with a bunch more. I would quit embedding these things because I don't want to take up
too much space, but again I can't figure out the buttons here because it's not in English. Sorry.

The first one here is the one that the groomed shots in the first video came from. This has
more







The lower two have been redone slightly to include less bad snow because I've come to
realize that many people don't know what snow they're looking at.

[Blake]

LOL

Sweet, thanks for moving that post to it's own thread LOL

I have no idea what buttons I'm pressing LOL

[Blake]

I had to make an adjustment to one of those because embedding was disabled. They should start working again 30 minutes from now.

Hi Blake:

Great video and Powerful skiing!

I agreed your "styles of point".

thing, so... I hope this is alright. These are three new videos and two are informational so it's kind of relevant.

Welcome back, Blake, and thanks for such high quality videos and the excellent expose on mogul and all-mountain skiing techniques, they really brighten our humble small forum.

This first one we feel is the best we've ever made. It's a compilation with music of mainly 2 seasons, including this season with groomed skiing which I usually don't include, or put much effort into, in our videos. For anyone who's interested in the commentary videos below, I hope that you'll start with this one. This may not play in every European country because of copyright so anyone who can't see it could click our 2 newest seasonal videos and see the same shots if they want to. This is our best though. I'm a huge Dio fan.

Indeed, the video is finely made, and skiing is excellence and exciting to watch, thanks for the great efforts to make it happens.

This one is a commentary showing multiple ways of skiing moguls with demonstrations. It shows the way that I look at mogul skiing and shows how different styles are all related. I say "this is really all just mogul skiing" and at the end I wrote "because of "styles" people are not united". I am trying to show the connectedness of all these things, so if this turns into an argument about what style is best, you have truly missed the whole point. If you look at mogul skiing differently, that's fine, but I hope if anyone has a disagrees with this, that they have demonstrations of all of these things that are better than mine. The point is that all styles are connected and so arguing between styles is pointless and people should be united. I only say that the Olympic way is a good way, that's all I say, and actually I don't even say that.

Totally agree, funny thing is that I don't even think/see your diffent demos as different "styles," but one "mogul skiing"; as you can engage the hills and moguls to do whatever you've intended to do, and you do it much better than I, so I won't bore you with mine. I used to ski nothing but moguls all day in my younger days, but nowadays, I'm more in the trees and on the trails. I'm also using "one" turning style, with variations, to ski all terrain. The turn is based on Wedeln, a short turn without the traverse phase, add a little "traverse" to become a "short turn," and add more traverse becomes a "long turn," and the "turn"/changing direction can be initiated by "thinking," so it is "turn on demand,"

So, yes, you are right; at higher levels, all turns are connected, and down below I'll show how all styles are connected.

This one shows the way that I approach all mountain skiing. This is a little less simple to understand than the last one. Again, just my way, not necessarily the best or the right way. I am not trying to sound like I'm saying it's necessarily the best, even if I think it is. However, if I avoided opinions all together in these things, I'd have nothing to say. I say at the end "when your way of skiing meets your expectations, then it is the right technique for you".

Anyone who understands this and agrees is the audience. That won't be everyone and that's fine.

Yes, I do share the same view too, [my view] "back to nature," and "nature" is defined as "not to articulate your actions [so that the actions flow naturally]," just as what you mentioned in the video, "not to thinking about your [skiing...]" as we are not thinking about it, there's no "different" style but "one" skiing. As I've said, at the highest level, all skiing [styles] merge into a simplest form, the "nature" original. When "back to nature," all different styles are disappeared.

This guy is an ex PSIA clinician, and he has never learned Taichi,

and I am self-taught, know little about PSIA techniques,

don't our skiing look alike?

This may come as a surprise to you, but I don't tend to do well in online arguments...

Yes, you do [well], kick-ass arguments.

Any arguing about this contradicts some of the points of these videos.

people to understand. Maybe someone can translate some, but honestly, some of that stuff isn't even easy to say in English.

If you're interested in "natural" skiing, you may be interested taking a look in this—Taichi Skiing—it is totally natural, and starts with breathing,

[Blake]

I will write again soon.

[Blake]

Really interesting post IS.

I finally got a chance to look at everything you posted thoroughly.

If I'm not mistaken, I have mentioned to you before that I do a lot of qi gong.

You may be interested to hear a little bit about my story with qi. For me, I also think that qi
and skiing have connected in my life.

When I was about 19, I was doing a lot of summer training for skiing. I would hacky sack for
about a hour a day developing my focus and coordination. I would also balance sideways on
a pipe that was about the width of my thumb. I would do this repeatedly. These two
activities developed my coordination and focus greatly. I also was doing a few stretches for
about 20 minutes each. They were three stretches and two of them were standing stretches.
I was just trying to increase flexibility. I had no knowledge of tai chi or qi gong or anything
else. Later, I have realized that my balancing on the pipe and my standing stretches may
have had a similar effect to static standing postures used in standing meditation.

I don't know why really..... but around this time that I was doing these things I began
feeling massive amounts of energy running through my body. Specifically, I began being
woken up by large currents of energy running through my legs. I had heard of "internal
martial artists" (tai chi practitioners etc), but I knew nothing of the practice. I went and
bought a book and began doing some standing meditation.

Within about two weeks of doing these qi gong postures, the energy would come on again
and again, usually in the morning when I would be waking up. My mind would be fully
awake, and fully conscious but it would happen when I was laying on my back in bed. I
would feel infinite amounts of energy going through me and I would move that energy to a
hand or something and it would feel as if I could make my hand explode. I began to
experience out of body experiences from this state. The way I experienced it is very
consistent with what is described in a book called "Journeys out of the body" by Robert A
Monroe. Or in Taoism, it was my 'shen' that was led to separate from my physical body.
I may or may not have been experiencing some from of Kundalini. I am not clear on that.
It may have been qi, but it seemed almost entirely too massive.

Everything that I have experienced, I have been able to read about later (after I experience
it) in Taoist books.

The way that I got into qi gong reminds me of what the Shaolin Monks do with martial arts
and enlightenment. They practice martial arts and achieve a level of mastery of their
physical bodies and mind that helps them to achieve enlightenment. As they say in Taoist
practices: the mind, body and soul are all one and the same. What's good for one of the
three is good for the other two etc.. What's good for the body and mind, is therefore good
for the soul. If the Shaolin Monks can achieve enlightenment through the help of martial arts
mastery, then why should skiing be any different? It seems like it could be a substitute for
martial arts to me.

I believe that I am a better skier today because of my qi gong practice.

I really enjoyed your videos!

[Blake]

Here is an interesting video that we can relate to the natural skiing video...

What you see here is that each ski school has their own way of skiing. If you think about
how these styles developed throughout the years that these ski schools have been in
existence, a lot of the technique probably came from someone simply feeling what seemed
right to them and then passing it on to the other skiers in the group. Every country looks
different. The French, for example, look nothing like the other countries. I believe that this
is because for the people in France that were integral in developing this style, this way
was right for them. The Koreans look quite a bit different than anyone else, and also may
be likely to have unique body shapes compared to the Europeans, again, for the guys over
there that put the most thought into their technique, this way was right for them. While
the people who join later and master these predefined, specific techniques may not be
skiing naturally the guys who developed these ways, I believe were skiing naturally, doing
what felt right to them. The differences between countries shows a wide range of
movement and positioning patterns that could be right for any person.

Glad to hear that you have some practice on Qi, I'm pretty sure that you have "some" experience in Qi, even though you may not know how to describe it. Although the concept of Qi is uniquely Chinese, but the phenomenon are universal, it "naturally" happens in every living being.

The concept of Qi is written in the Chinese character "氣," pronounces Qi. The character is composed of two parts: the top part symbolizes "air," and the bottom part is "rice," which is the main stable food for Chinese people. According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) explanation: the condensed（肅降）of some "air" properties and vaporized/digested（昇化）food mixed together to generate the "energy" for life. And it moves through the body to generate the body movements. And that is quite a mouth full of mystery, how can it reconcile with the modern Physics/science?

In the eyes of physics, our human body is nothing more than a sophisticated "closed hydraulic system"/machine which is operated under "hydraulic principles," and is powered by "pressure." Qi, under these contents, is pressure. It is the pressure that moves the muscles to generate "force." So yes, you would have had Qi. The warmth of your hands indicate that your excises have enhanced your blood/body fluids' circulation.

The Qi moves through our body is like water flows through a water hose, and the water is most powerful when the hose is not kinked. Originally, Qi/pressure can only expand and contract on a straight line; however, by bending/flexing and straightening the body joints, which act like pressure valves, where bending/flexing a joint "closes" and straightening a joint "opens" the flow, we can regulate Qi's strengths and change its directions to generate and to deliver forces most efficiently to fit for our purposes. And Qi-gong is a practice that learns such properties of Qi, and nurtures, cultivates, and effectively utilizes this energy to perform the movements to meet our tasks of living. And that's Qi-gong in a nutshell.

Here's a routine of my "Shen style Qi Gong," which would systematically and effectively exercise all our body joints and muscles as well as balancing, and if you turn up the audio volume, you can also "hear" how I use breathing to coordinate all my movements.

Thanks for the compliments. I call my skiing "line-skiing," which is to ski a "line" instead of just making turns, which is like driving on a mountain road, where the road turns, and the car turns little. However, there's no such a road on the skiing hills, the skier must find and build his or her own road, i.e. "line"; with all mountain terrain changes and the grades of the slopes vary greatly, that is not an easy task to do it on the flight. The solutions? I use "equal gradient" as a reference. Skiing on an "equal gradient," the skier travels at "same"/constant speed; as the speed is known, the skiing is much easy to control and maneuver. The line of the equal gradient reflects the gravity (or more precisely, the reaction force of the gravity,) as a same/constant pressure on the feet/skis. The pressure on the feet increases indicates the skis are climbing or/and slowing down, and the reverse, the pressure on the feet decreases indicates the skis are going downhill and speeding up. By adjusting the pressure to maintain a desired "constant pressure," one skis down the hill like a river meanders through a plain, and that's a nutshell of "line-skiing."

Taichi Skiing/Flatboarding: Maggie's Canyon, the gully, Heavenly - YouTube



As we seek the gravity internally, the skiing becomes more philosophical than physical, and by referencing to "equal pressure" on the feet/skis, the body naturally coordinate its movements and balances such external pressure, the body disappeared and the skiing has returned to nature—"natural skiing."

Thanks for such a delicious post.

Yes, and no, I know his techniques, but I don't do his practice.

His demonstrations may look impressive to an untrained eyes, but serve no practical purposes. His demonstrations look powerful, but only because his opponents are week and untrained, they lack neither the power nor balance to withstand him.

More people don't mean more powerful, those guys are "一片散沙"/loose sands; they push with straight arms and protruding butts, they have no power nor the balance to push, so, when being pushed, they have no power to resist, nor the balance to hold themselves, and mostly, they (giggle!?) and collapsed themselves. I'll be really impressed if he can push a sumo or a WWE fighter.

Thanks for the great explanation of qi IS. I hadn't heard qi explained from the point of
view of 'pressure' before. It makes sense.

So true.

I think you missed on this one. I don't believe he can start a fire with his Qi, the smokes you see in the demonstration is from a chemical reaction, so it was just a "magic" trick. And ancient Chinese didn't know "electricity," so any proof through electrical means is only proven an illusion, "electricity" is not Qi, and acupuncture/needle does not "input" Qi by itself, but to "trigger", (like open and close a valve on a Qi passage,) the flow of Qi already inside the body, so, without fully understand what Qi is and how Qi works inside the body, the acupuncture treatment is also an illusion.

Thanks for the great explanation of qi IS. I hadn't heard qi explained from the point of view of 'pressure' before. It makes sense.

Thanks for reading it. Yes, I have read quite a few Qi-gong writings too, but most of them are only rehashing what was said in the classical writings, but few realize that ancient Chinese don't see the world that we modern days see it, so they usually missed the boat. Ancient Chinese see a world of "Yin and Yang," (so is their language,) so every phenomenon/everything has "Yin and Yang" in it, and so is this phenomenon of the "power" of a force, which physics illustrates as "F=ma." So, for cross-references, the Yin of a force is Qi/氣, which is "pressure," and the outward appearance, Yang, is the force/力, then, 陰陽合/"harmonized Yin and Yang" generates a maximum effect. To illustrate this point, we can go back to your videos, both your brother and you have the perfect "dynamic balance" on the moguls, why? You guys always have your weight (center of mass) right over your feet (point of support), the support is solid, so you guys are "balanced"—陰陽合—the weight generates the pressure/Qi—Yin—to your feet, and your feet do the work of skiing—Yang—with support of the weight—陰陽合—without your weight's support, or back seated, you cannot do moguls that smoothly. I also designate the inside ski is Yin, and outside skiing is Yang, and remain myself to keep them together as 陰陽合/"harmonized Yin and Yang", so I don't do "spread eagle" on the moguls, but you guys have done much better moguls than I. Oh, by the way, I did tele too, long ago,

This should be what you'll be really impressed. Being pushed and transferring pushing force away and don't get pushed away, most good Chinese internal martial artist can do it. Of course the amount of force that can transfer away depends on how good that guy is. Taichiskiing claim himself a taichi master but..........ha ha I've already move the topic to another thread.

"Impressed" about what? Two bulls buck heads with brute forces? Maybe to the "untrained eyes," but not to people in the know. As I said, the match is a "set-up." Not sure what the rules are, the Taichi master didn't being pushed back, but apparently he cannot push forward either, so he didn't lose, but didn't win either, their self-proclaimed winning is actually quite "hollow," if not "shallow," and may not stand a chance if the wrestler is fighting in wrestling rules. Taichi Skiing "push feet" with gravity, is dynamic and alive. As a Taichi push-hands master, can master Chen skis (push feet with gravity)? Moving this topic to another thread is a good idea, so we don't hijack Blake's thread, thanks.

None of the Taichi guys in these clips wins. Taichi may have tremendous power, but is not what you described or envisioned.

Try to find a 200 pounds guy pushing you like what they did. See what happen

Blake doesn't need to know push feet with gravity but he absorbs the shocks way better than you. What are you proud for. Even I can ski way better than you especially on the bumps although I am a weekend skier.

Although practically Master Chen may not be a good fighter but the technique that he transfers the force from lateral to the ground is really amazing. Just like Jet li, he is probabaly not a flighter but is for sure a good martial artist.

You don't have anything amazing to show us but always try to argue how great you are. Your skiing is nothing good no matter for the eyes of an expect nor a begginner.

You mean the two bulls butt head? Only "brute forces," no, there is not much "martial art" skill to talk about. And no, 200 pounds guy without skill cannot push me, if he is not being flipped/thrown first.

No, Blake doesn't need to know the term "push feet," he already knew how to do it. But you can ski "way better than me" is only you little knowledge bragging; the fact is, if you can keep up with me on bumps, you are pretty good already, but can you ski on a heavy bump hill for 7 min. none-stop? You are only a weekend skier is not an excuse.

Although practically Master Chen may not be a good fighter but the technique that he transfers the force from lateral to the ground is really amazing. Just like Jet li, he is probabaly not a flighter but is for sure a good martial artist.

It is "amazing" to you only because your little knowledge doesn't know how it works; the power they demonstrated is "not" "transfers the force from lateral to the ground" but "from the ground to lateral." The way of Taichichuan to develop power is "發於跟，控制於腰，散於手"/"rooted on heels, controlled on waist, and appeared on hands." So, your observation, and so is your little knowledge, is "wrong again."

Their martial arts skills are good, just like you CSIA L4 are good, but your CSIA L4s' skiing are not the only ways to ski, so are their martial arts. And you cannot do neither, you are only "name-dropping" famous people to boost your own images.

You don't have anything amazing to show us but always try to argue how great you are. Your skiing is nothing good no matter for the eyes of an expect nor a begginner.

That's fine by me, since your knowledge lack of substance, and things without substance cannot be impressed, I won't hold my breath for it. As you have slipped into perpetuated denial, you no long have "eyes" to see things that are "amazing," and that is quite an "amazing" story for a CSIA L2.
