為什麼 wedge 是一個問題?

[ams]

個人覺得因 wedge 代表了在極接近 neutral 時, 甚至過了 neutral, old outside skis 舊山腳 還是在受力狀態, 所以重心還是相對在山上, 這時候如把舊山腳的力強行拿走便要出現兩個可能的情況:

1. 新山腳相對在重心山上方向, 這樣這彎還是可以, 因為新山板是可以成功轉邊. (imagine a very wide stance) 所以不會 release 的人是應該用 wide stance 的.
2. 新山腳相對在重心山下方向, 這樣這彎不可以自然開彎, 只能靠另加力的去重把重心拋至相對在山下才可以轉彎.

I see. Wedge should include 2 problems instead of 1...Just a joke!

我只是猜想一下, 你有什麼見解不妨提出一下, 這裡大師多的是, 不談便不知自己想的有什麼對, 什麼錯.

I like this attitude so much!

Did you see my previous thread about the difference between wedge and A-frame? So, I don't have 什麼見解 on the topic. Just listen patiently!

I didn't response to the thread because I m not so sure of the difference. I m sure about wedge but A frame. I m listening too.

我的看法是，要避免 wedge 的著眼點並不在於是否易於換邊！
大家都知道半制動最容易滑也最容易換邊，但為何半制動比併腿差？

以我的經驗當雪板 wedge 時，是屬於煞車狀態，一有煞車腿就必須額外施力，也就更容易累：另外 wedge 也會降低速度，這對某些人來說當然也是不好的 ....

前面說過，滑雪的原動力是地心吸引力‧所以滑雪的好壞就在我們怎樣有效率的利用這個地力‧ Wedge stance 是用兩個雪板的內沿，所以一直是處於剎車況態，用以控制速度，這種滑法是在“扺抗”地力，所以滑起來比較沒有效率‧比較有效率的滑法是“利用”地力來加速，叫作“騎”地力/ride the gravity，那是平行滑雪所追求‧滑雪技術的高低就分在這裡：“抵抗”地力是低級滑雪，“利用”地力是高級滑雪。

平板腳也容易造成這問題

Could you give me an example to further explain your point?

還是看你怎麼“站”/用力‧平板平行滑雪，板是平的，但是外腳（陽）用/加重內沿（陰〕，而內腳（陰〕用/加重外沿（陽），在太極滑雪這叫作“一陰一陽”，陰陽合百泰生，“活”‧所以沒有問題。

Frequently, flatfoot arches collapse toward big toe edges when weighted.

I see. Is it possible to use a tailor-made foot bed to fix this problem?

It is possible but not always. There are a few variables to consider. Or one can learn what Taichiskiing is talking about. I have seen people "cure" flatfoot so I think what he says make sense.

Thanks, skier666 I see but don't know which thread was posted for the discussion?

BTW, I do have foot bed and other work done to my boot. It adds about $400 to the cost to the boots

Thanks, I will have a look!

My molded foot bed and liner (Intuition) are around UD$600.

I don't know Intuition has footbed. Putting a liner in will only cost me additional $150.

The foot beds are another brand but I forgot it...hehe

Which brand of your liners?

You guys are really know how to spend money. :) Do you read Chinese? Here's my ideas about foot bed, you don't need them,

“從中國功夫的眼光來看，只要你能站你就能滑雪‧滑雪最重要及最基本的技術就是平衝，而我們最好的平衝能力就是站在腳上‧問題是怎樣站‧

跟據我們身体的結構，如果我們在平地上站平及站直 (natural and neutral)，我們是雙腳等重而前腳掌與腳跟平衡(一樣重)‧但是在山坡上，要是我們還是這樣站我們就向後倒(backseated)，所以我們需要把我們的重心向前移‧把重心向前移呢，我們需要站在前腳掌上‧但是，提起腳跟站在前腳掌上很累人也不穩，所以我們需要在身上找一點來代替腳跟，我們用小腿壓在雪靴的壓力來代替腳跟，然後壓雪靴來控制雪板‧然後，刻滑(carving)是用腳大指頭邊及腳板心壓外腳(outside ski)內沿(inside edge)，同時用小指頭邊壓內腳(inside ski)外沿(outside edge)，体重平均分配，或是六成四成，六成在外腳‧平衡，快速，剩下的就只有不要怕了‧”

Thanks, taichiskiing, for your kind explanation

Now, I have more information about how to stand (問題是怎樣站), thanks a lot!

Carving is not my cup of tea honestly because I don't like to ski fast, whereas skidding (referring to PMTS terminology, i.e. brushed carve) is my good partner for the all mountains skiing. I think the main reason is that I don't have sufficient physical and technical ability to do carving

If you don't mind, I may share my boot fitting experience to you. Actually, the boot fitting service includes boot alignment, foot bed and liner. After the professional service, I feel that I can easily control my skis via my boots especially in the ungroomed slope. I can also do one-footed skiing. Perhaps, I may also do the same thing if I know Tai Chi at a certain level.

Thanks again for your sharing!
