A kid about 9 or 10 years old, wearing rollerblades, in a local skateboard park, and bragging about how easy is skateboarding blah blah blah to a group of older teens, and escalated to that he can do *9*. So the others challenged him to do it. "No, I can't, I don't have my skateboard with me," the kid said. So an older teen handed him his skateboard. "Oh no, my dad won't let me," said the kid. Smooth talking kid. That story might be familiar in some context, but is completely non sequitur here. Can I straight line run on skis? Yes, and I have been able to since I was 9. The moral of the story is that you can smooth talk better like that kid. The moral of the story is that you're trying to make something very easy sound like its hard. That shows how arrogant you are. Nope. It shows how bad you are. It actually shows how little knowledge you are.

Do you understand? No. Others here have talked about skiing in ways that communicate their expertise. You have only bragged. Which should we believe? As I explained, a real/true principle must work/hold true on all levels. I think your principles fail right there. No clips = no proof. Do you understand? I don't think you do... U-tube clips are proof? Clips of mediocre skiing and beginner snowboarding? Sorry - u-tube clips prove nothing. If you really had a superior ability, you'd be able to communicate it clearly without the ego trip. I think you meant to reply to the teachaiskiing-dude. |

Great, but I'm not going to believe it before I see it. I'd love to see his techniques in real terrain, I fail to see why he does not want to deliver. I'd be even more interested in seeing footage of him in ungroomed conditions etc. Listen, you guys, IS is a good skier. Seeing is believing. I still don't defend his trolling, but he can ski. Yeah, he has very serious ego problems and comes across as a deluded & pompous fool. Too bad. |

As they're only in favor of bashing, don't think those gappers hear you. I was called "troll" only because so they don't have to face their own incompetence. Yes, that's a gapper's denial.

Actually IS is quite capable of skiing a steep large moguls. Listen, you guys, IS is a good skier. I still don't defend his trolling, but he can ski. His "mouth" disproves his ability. My "mouth" has nothing to do with my skiing. You mixed up. His braggadocios claims with no understandable description of what his "technique" is, along with his continuous insults to EVERYONE who tries to understand what the #*&$ he claims is so superior are why we doubt him. A person with such superiority does not need the bragging and insults. So the "superiority is in doubt. I don't claim "superiority," but "ultimate." You mixed up, and it mixed up the rest of your thinking. Sure, he can ski well. As would anyone who gets 120+ days a year of skiing. This does not support claims of superiority, nor justify insults when people can't make any sense of what he claims. Since I don't claim "superiority," it is your "superiority" screws you up, er, that's an ego issue. Feel being insulted only confirms that you think you have the superiority. You do have an ego issue. When IS acquires a little humility, and drops the chip on his shoulder, he might be able to learn to communicate his methods. Look over your own shoulder, "can't learn with a full cup." Until then, he is only a troll. He has certainly offered nothing to anyone here more than some cheap laughs. Troll for gapper, fair enough. We do see a few cheap LOL out there in the thread. When you gapper done with those silly LOL, maybe you learn how to communicate seriously. IS |

In article , taichiskiing wrote: And the torque on the outside shoulder restricts/slows down the turning. And the torque on the inside shoulder speeds it up.... How? 3. The torque from the right pole cancels out the torque from the left pole. No, the outside pole has longer distance to travel, so it experiences more torque. If you don't count/correct the difference, your outside pole will lag behind the turning curve and de-stabilize your turning. Show your math... A=V*V/R; where A is angular acceleration, V is velocity, and R is the radius of the turn. 4. There is nothing inherently distabilizing about torque, as you try to imply. Yes, any spinning/rotation motion de-stabilizes the original motion, so you HAVE TO take care of it, and yes, that's an extra work. There is no "spinning/rotation motion", Chai Tea. Yes, there's always "spinning/rotation motion," when referencing to the center of the turn/curved path. And without using poles, you can eliminate all these problems. Well even with poles, I can straight line that same hill you were on on one leg. Don't think you can. If that were true, why would the torque about your ankles generated by the force of air resistance on your body also be destabilizing? Not sure what's your question. I don't usually rotate my ankles, and the balance is maintained between the center of gravity (CoG) and base of support (BoS), with both feet solidly slide on the snow, the effect/impact of the air resistance is at the minimum. There is air resistance against your body. That creates a torque around the ankles. You've stated that all torques are destabilizing. There's air resistance, but won't affect the balance if you have the footing solidly planted on sliding. No, if you know how to ski the "equal gradient/equilibrium lines," which is somewhere in the middle of the bump/mogul, you don't have to go down to those low spots. The "equal gradient line" may cover a few moguls, so the turn is elongated and appears slow but smooth. And that's how Taichi Skiing shrinks the moguls. Taichi mogul Skiing is a new improvement over your old fashion knee-banging mogul skiing. Of course you have to go through the low spots. Your denial again, why I "have to," given the method I described? I did say your narrow-minded mogul skiing doesn't shed the light on the subject. Show me some mogul skiing and then we can talk. No, I don't think that you're worth the talk. IS |

Serious question here...try not to lob insults and labels from your high-horse. Just answer my question. What exactly does a TCS challenge entail ? "Head to head Chinese Downhill. Two skiers race against each other with a short line tape attaches to each other, in two runs, and changing the lead skier each time. When the tape breaks the lead skier wins, and if it doesn't break after crossing the finish line, the chase skier wins, fair enough? Yes, such a contest would demand very high skills on the chaser, however, both skiers would have their/equal chance." It was published and coined Taichi Skiing Challenge on Jun 13, 08 in this thread.
