pku 寫:The first guy ( Bernd Greber ) in your video is 高手中的高手 although he died already and all the guys are the same levels.
That's no point of comparing a professional to an amature. Can you ski like that (50% )? if you ski the run he skied and turn as short as him, you can't do more than 3 turns. The guy in taichiski's video at least can do more turns than you.
No, I didn't say it is hard but an off-piste technique. And that was not the only place we've skied.
taichiskiing 寫:You need to come up with better arguments to trivialize his good performance (those were demos for training the ski instructors!), "You kids can do one foot skiing 10 years ago" won't do, only makes you losing your credibility. Such an argument actually says three things: 1) your kids are genius, which I doubt it (if they can do that 10 years ago, they should be on the Olympic or WC podiums somewhere by now); 2) you don't ski better than what you kids can do ten years ago (if you cannot do one foot skiing); 3) you have a poor video analysis skill (spinning at cruising speed is not a simple maneuver, even you see him does it easily). And the main question remains, can you do it? As what makes the "White Pass" turns, I think Snowrider may have better ideas, he was drilling on it.
Congrats on your kids being trained for racers, were they not "trained" to have those skills already? A kid racer compares to seasoned PSIA clinician, they have the same skills because they both can ski on one foot? "can do" and "do it better"/"do it well" are two different things. I can do it, but I don't see the point; as I said before, two legged skiing is always stronger than one leg.
As I said, spinning that kind of thing is not consider alpine skiing technique ( may be new school ) and I don't have much knowledge about it so I don't consider good or bad.
That's called "progress," most the rat-kids in the parks know how to do it, but only we old geezers do it at cruise speed. It is alpine skiing alright. In fact, quite exciting,

Skiing every day is no longer just "skiing" anymore but a "discipline"/練功夫, and as well "everyday living," as you still need to take care the details of everyday living, injures, fatigue, and etc., I ski is to enjoy myself, not to exhaust myself.
What you've called "casual," others call it "effortless." There's no "casual skiing" at black diamond level, unless you're courting disaster.
taichiskiing 寫:Well, "speed" and "turn at will" don't really complement to each other—when you go fast, you cannot turn easily, and when you slow down to turn, you've lost the speed, and that's the characteristic of "Turn-Skiing." How do you do "go fast and turn at will" at the same time？
Of course I can't do like him but that is my goal, not the way you ski
Not really, they "move" fast alright, but not "turn at will," they are locked on their edges, so they can only turn what their skis' side-cuts depicted, and don't travel "downhill" faster enough, typical "turn-skiing." Just watching they turn I already feel exhausted. When I go downhill, I go downhill.
taichiskiing 寫:The answer is "Line-Skiing," and my friend skis better than me.
The facts are, most ski instructors would like to ski like my friend, and most people on the slopes watch us ski like to ski like us, so you may not know what you like it or not until you can keep up with us in formation. Yes, speed is thrilling.

Obviously you don't understand sking. You can't release the edge and steer your foot if you got lock on the edge. This is a demo of short turn and this top professonal showing strong contol of edge to edge. That means "turn at will,"
You balance on your feet quite well but you don't know how to extend your leg, that's low performance sking.
