ObSki: another run with flatboarding

I think you need to listen and think more. All the things I mentioned do affect the carve turn shape. NOT just the weight distribution. Nevertheless, the weight distribution takes the precedence (can't do without it), edging remains optional if the snow is soft enough, Maybe [for] you. Then, the "technique" is valid. If you don't mind leaving out something that significantly improves ski control. No ski control is needed if you have the balance. If you prefer to ski with no control, I hope you stay away from where I ski. and pressure [on the skis] is only part of weight distribution. Clearly wrong. They are two entirely different things. Maybe just you--wrong, what do your mean by "pressure", and how do you generate it, and what do you use it for? Pressure is pressure applied by the feet through the skis, downward if you are standing upright, but obviously at various angles when the ski is edged. Increasing pressure on an edged ski will bow the ski more, changing the turning radius. So you move up and down to pressure the edge? That's "part of weight distribution." Wrong. Weight distribution is where your weight is centered on the ski. It can move forward or aft as you make a turn, to vary the characteristics of the turn. And the edge won't bow unless you "bow" (verb, action)/ press the ski, and you can't press the skis with your leg muscles, you have to move the weight to do it. Wrong. You can indeed pressure the skis with your legs. Initating the turn from a low position, you extend your legs as the turn continues to add pressure to the skis where you want to. Doing it right can actually add speed. Increasing edge pressure increases the centripetal force, and that's why the skis change the turning radius, (which will fit my description of "angular acceleration"); however, "bowing" the skis is not the only way to increase the edge pressure, "tipping" can achieve the same result, and again, you cannot "tip" the skis with the leg muscles along, you have to move your weight, and again, that's "weight distribution." That's called angulation, not "weight dietribution". And it certainly was covered/discussed years before "flatboarding" or "line-skiing" were dreamed up. Yup, flatboarding/line-skiing may well be the lost arts of classical skiing. And it will remain lost until you learn to communicate with skiers. Not really, I have picked it up, so it is lost only in you. Your lost. Whatever "it" is. "Whatever"? Why are you hanging out here pushing your "superior" methods on us if you aren't willing to make the effort to actually communicate what you are talking about. Communication is a two ways street. It doesn't appear that you are willing to listen. As regarding my English, the evidence shows it may not perfect but adequate for the communication purpose; otherwise, you would not come back to bashing the same thing over and over. Everyone here, and apparently everywhere else you have tried to prostelitize your theories says exactly the same thing. You just don't make any sense. Until you get that through your thick head, the result will always be the same. Many of us have tried to figure it out, but nobody has. Maybe it's because that you don't have what it takes to figure it out? Have you ever thought about that? Yes. I totally don't have what it takes to understand the meaningless rantings of a know-it-all know nothing. Everytime you respond in this manner convinces me more how worthless your ideas are. I don't know why I try to help you. You are just too stupid to get it. Which puts you in the netkook catagory in our minds. Calling name makes you feel "big," eh? It's not a name. Its a type. And you fit it to a "T". Really - if you want to convince expert skiers and instructors, you need to learn the language of skiing. Then make the effort to use that language to detail what it is you do that is different than anyone else, and why it is superior. Actually, what I try to do is the opposite, and to describe the skiing in common every day language instead of the skiing jargons that only understood by a [maybe conceited] few who think that they "know-it- all" because they know all the jargons. And Taichi Skiing is beyond PSIA/CSIA/XSIA... languages. You completely misuse common language, assiging your own meanings to things, and then expect us to understand. What really is your reason for prostelisizing here when you refuse to make sense? You are NEVER going to convince anyone using these methods. Why waste your time? I think it's about time for me to stop wasting my time trying to help you. You have convinced me of one thing. Taichi skiing is BS. I've give you plenty of chance to convince me otherwise. and you've never even tried. My guess is that you don't try to do this, because you are a know-it-all kook that really has nothing to offer. Feel free to prove me wrong - I'd be happy to see it. To prove you are a conceited mind? Simple, even though my skiing may have nothing to offer to you and other conceited few, but it is sure good enough for the majority of general skiing population. Name- calling only reflects a conceited kooky little mind yourself. But that will take some effort on your part to drop the attitude and actually communicate. Continuing the negative attitude about everyone here, and continuing to spout meaningless nonsense will prove me right. Now you have it. You really don't get it. Or is this just your way of having fun? Are you just a troll? Do you really believe this crap? I tried, I really did. I guess you are just hopeless. Bob |
