pku 寫:It's a good idea but just I don't have holiday for skiing trip, if I go to Lake Tahoe, I need at least 5 days. May be next season. Also, it may be too lonely if I go by myself.
Taichiski won't come to Whistler anyway.
How about this ... let's make this a friendly PK event. It does not matter who wins in the end, you two are still masters.
In order to make everyone happy, I have a good idea. For the one who hosts the event, he will be able to ski in his area without incurring the cost of air. He then needs to provide the lodging to those who come to the event. For those who are not in the local area will need to purchase air tickets, but in exchange, they can save the money on lodging from the hosting guy(s).
snowrider 寫:How about this ... let's find a time and place for Taichi master taichiskiing to PK ski master PKU? I will come to see you guys PK each other.
Interesting! Though I don't usually do "gapper's challenge," but if there's profit to be made, might as well. PKU has bet Norman for 1K in the past, guess he must be a high roller, so let's play the high roller game. Since he has already seen I ski, so I double that bet to make it 2K. For their Whistler group's arrogance and beg's shameless I double that (hopefully, they won't back down, that's the profit I'm counting on to make), so let's make it total of $4000USD/four thousand US dollars plus the travelling expense CASH; yah, for that kind of profit, I'll go to Whistler, no problems. Nevertheless, given them demonstrated denials, how can we guarantee that their money will be there when they lose? Whistler is a long way to go for nothing.

Now we're just waiting to hear from TCS.
Actually, I'm flat broke right now. (Teaching 40 students a season don't really make one a rich man.) I may be able to raise $1000 through fund-raising, but not sure if I want to go through that kind of trouble, nevertheless, if you want to prove yourself that carving is faster than flatboarding, I race you, any time.

My thinking is K.I.S.S.
One run winner takes all on a neutrally determined slope keeps it very simple and fair. It only makes sense that a race should be administered by people familiar with the important aspects of racing.
I'll now just leave the ball in TCS's court.

$4000. OK AS long AS you pay the air Flight and lodging
From Whistler Peak to Creek side , about 1600 meter vetical, I'll show you the mountain first for three days. There includes steep bumps run at the top Whistler Bowl, about 39 degree, the steepest part of run from the general entrance. The best time should be at the beginiing of April since the top part won't be in the shade.
For the money guarantee, I can send $4000. to snowrider and you send $2000 to snowrider since he suggest this and you pay the flight and lodging. Of course Snowrider is the judge ad he should come too, we should take $1000.00 form the bet to him so he can have a sponsored ski tour.
He may also be the witness of the judge of Beg and him. It should be fun
Also, since there still a lot of time to pratice, I'll more video of my skiing on the steep. If taichiski master is not comfortable, he'll just say no
skier888 寫:Do it at Squaw, KT-22 West Face. I already know who will win
For Squaw, I need you to take me skiing for few days and ONE SLOPE IS NOT ENGOUGH. THE RACE SHOULD CONTAINS STEEP, BUMPS AND GROOM. THEN THERE SHOULD BE MORE FUN.
AND ALSO THE BET CAN BE LOWER TO A $1000.00 SINCE TAICHISKI GOT HOME COURT ADVENTAGE
EVEN FOR A FRIENDLY pk RACE IS STILL OK SINCE I'LL TAKE IT AS A SKI TRIP AND i DON'T NEED HIM TO PAY FOR ANYTHING. THIS CAN ONLY BE HAPPENING THE NEXT SEASON

"$4,000usd plus travelling expense" means the loser pays the winner the travelling expense (air fair, lodge, food, car rental and gas, by receipts), and his own, on top of the bet, so it is to your advantage to do it here in California (you win more money), and I think sunny California has a better chance to have good weather to do this, so, kt-22 sounds a good option (not my home court either; skied the Squaw twice long time ago, not sure I ever did kt-22). Now, if we can trust snowrider for the price money; what do you say, snowrider? Want to set it up?

I would suggest to hold a friendly PK event not involving any big money betting. No matter who wins, I still see you guys masters - one ski master and one Taichi master. If you guys insist to bet the big money, I am honored to make everything fair. I would prefer to pay my own travel expense to go there to see you guys do a friendly PK (as long as you guys provide me a place to stay) rather than you guys pay my travel expense while PK-ing with big money bet. Why? A friendly study group to learn the skill from each other!

Yup, a friendly encounter is exciting, refreshing, and nice feeling, so it is always welcome; if you guys are interested, I can host a "goski" get together here in Tahoe next season. But, I don't think them Whistler group come in this forum on friendly ground, they are acting like vulgar thugs, just watch beg's posting history, contents, and his overall behaviors, "disgusting" cannot describe the word. I don't make friends with shameless people, so there's little chance we would be friends if they don't change their behaviors. They remind me“砸舞會”的小太保, (not sure if you're old enough to know these things,) and yes, I am kicking their butts if they don't change. Nevertheless, beg has truned himself into a human computer virus, I have no antidotes for it, so I can only let it 自生自滅 (it is supposed the administrator's job, given the Term Of Service (TOS) of this forum,

Coward Taichi, since you claim you are the best skier in all forum, my offer still stand. You can win $10,000 easily. In case you lose (I don't think is possible), it won't hurt your finance.
Come on, try not be a coward for just one time in your life. :face (337):
