New ski movie idea...
The title is "Tai Chi Kid" and it's about a young novice skier (played
by an older actor that just looks like a kid) who wants to become a champion free skier so that he can beat these rich snot nosed punk free skiers that currently dominate the local free ski scene. Kid meets up with Tai Chi instructor that convinces him that he can be the best if he uses his training methods. Guy has kid doing stuff like waxing his entire quiver of skis ("wax on, wax off"), etc, etc. Kid goes on to win local competitions, wins the girl, gets sponsored by K2 and life is great! Everybody starts Tai Chi Skiing after seeing the movie. Of course there is part 2, part 3, etc. What do you think? -- Marty Sorry taichiskiing. I mean yea, I think practicing Tai Chi is great for strength and balance and it can help with your skiing abilities. But, that's it. |

Now there is! But get this, it's a friendly monster that blows powder snow instead of fire. So, they hire the monster (who gets sponsored by Head Skis) and pay it big bucks to keep Vail open year round. However, MOST skiers are afraid of the monster and refuse to ski Vail, so Vail is never crowded even after Vail management reduces lift ticket prices to $30 in an effort to attract skiers. Vail management realizes that they have to get rid of the monster in order to make money so they hire the Tai Chi kid to kill it. The monster climbs to the top of the Vail Clock Tower where the Tai Chi Kid tires to kill it by throwing down sick Tai Chi free ski maneuvers at it's head. Several other free skiers are caught mid-air and crushed to death my the monster in their attempt to kill it. In the end, the monster is dead, everything is back to normal (Vail is crowded and expensive) and people are skiing the right way again. -- Marty |

Cliché, but it will work, given Taichi Skiing's elegant style, graceful forms, and esthetic presentation. -- Marty Sorry taichiskiing. I mean yea, I think practicing Tai Chi is great for strength and balance and it can help with your skiing abilities. But, that's it. No sweat. Few see beyond the fact that "strength and balance" is the base/foundation of good skiing. Tai Chi Skiing is not just an external technique, but also, and more importantly, is in its inner discipline: how you perceive the environments that surrounded you, how you move your body efficiently to achieve the desired results, which means how to move your body internally to balance the forces that come from the ground/snow and the turning forces, etc., etc. As you can see, Taichi Skiing has no "fixed" forms; all it presents is the moment of the balanced state mind and body--harmonized Yin and Yang--at the highest form, a "natural" body reflected the balanced state of gravity. That's the realm of Taichi Skiing. Speed is just a by-product of do/ski it efficiently. IS |

In your video of you on a wide open slope with no more than gentle blue pitch I can see three times when you almost lose your balance in the first 15 seconds.

But, I've been on lifts with guys that will pull out a bowl, light up and smoke all the way up. I think they are trying to achieve what you do with Tai Chi Skiing. Not sure what they call it though. Maybe High Chi Skiing? -- Marty |
