"Mind thinks, body moves," total body automation. Gapper troll, IS Is that how you spend your days on the slopes ? It's almost as if you spend more time going horizontal to the ''fall-line'' then you do actually going down it. Ahh, got one, that's quick. No, we go down the fall-line as well,http://www.taomartialarts.com/ski/sk...ghtliningl.wmv IS LoL...Okaaaayyyy, and now please explain how holding your arms horizontally and sticking your skis together and pointing them down the hill is unique and remarkable in ANY context whatsoever ?

As opposed to Chai Tea skiing ? *Nothing special about pointing your skis down the hill and "making french fries"...It's just not a big deal...sorry to inject that reality into your fantasy-filled ego-trip. Sorry for your conceited little knowledge. The big deal is that modern [edge based] skiing cannot track a "straight line." So, it is really big deal to see if you can do it. What so funny, You. Yup, if you don't laugh, I'm not real. can you do it? Yes, IS, I can...and so can nearly any fool on a pair of skis. IT'S NOT SPECIAL. Not until you can prove it, (video clips?), a gapper's "can" remains a gapper's assessment--a "can" of worms. IS The fact that you are honestly purporting that a man skiing in a straight line for a few hundred meters on a groomed snoozer speaks to your skill level. |

Sorry IS...that's called reality. The fact that you defend that video as proof of advanced skiing technique or talent reveals just how mediocre you are on skis. We do have a kid here (not that I haven't figured it out earlier); nevertheless, don't think you can do it now. Clips? (What, no clips? That's what makes a gapper.) Congratulations on revealing your inadequacy on skis. Going in a straight line on a groomed snoozer requires precisely zero skill at 8,9, 29 or 49 years old. Sorry IS...that's called reality. We are "gappers" cuz we don't post videos of us doing easy, snoozer runs ? Sorry IS, we're not that desperate for approval. If you call what what you do "realizing your full potential"...then I sympathize. From everything I've seen (and virtually everyone in here agrees), the things you do on skis are boring and mediocre at best. No challenge whatsoever to anything you do. If you are content with endlessly tweaking your ''style'', rather than actually go down some stuff with even moderate difficulty, then by all means continue. You have a very shallow and empty life IS. Desperately trying to prove your worth on skis to a group of Usenet people (who you label as gappers, hardly up to your intellectual / spiritual caliber) in vain. Why would you continue to preach to a group of people who have overwhelmingly rejected everything you say ? It speaks to a horribly lost and sad person behind the arrogant and egotistic persona who carry in here. I feel sorry for you...and every poor soul you convince to record your boring movements. No amount of pseudo-Zen / Tao verbage can rescue you from the reality that you are (at best) an advanced-intermediate skier, who weaves a fantasy world around himself with videos from his home mountain. |
