Total skiing: ski the whole ski

oups.com... Yup, like Me 262 jet engine, though bizarre at the time, was better and more powerful engine than the propeller engine. Do you have the wisdom, at the end of WWII, to see that only ten years after the WWII, the jet fighters would have dominated the sky? And the flatboarding matches on. Please gimme a notice before starting your flatboarding supersonic stuff so I can seek emergency refuge at the first beer bar. |

Yeah, even Texans have the decency to yell "YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAWW!" when they're schussing the hill out of control. //Walt |

A "soft/variable board" is a "board" that varies in shape. Given two skis, there are infinite different shapes/configurations that we can make; we can spread them lengthwise and together (look at their outline) they form one skinny long "board"; or we can spread them sideways to make one wide short "board." Each "board" configuration reflects its unique characteristic--i.e. a "long" board is better for gliding, and a "short" board is better for lateral balance, and etc. By shuffling the feet/skis to seek an optimum shape/configuration for the given balance and speed, a flatboard skier is actually skiing on infinite numbers of "board." By moving the weight/CoG (ride) to control the shuffling of skis and weight placement over the skis, flatboarding is to "ride the skis" and "surf the gravity." The principal principle and technique in flatboarding is quite simple, "ride the flat bottom to go [straight], and ride on the edge to turn." Now, on a pair skis, we have two flat bottoms and four edges, and a total skier utilize/ski all of them. Total skiing is to ski the whole ski. What a pity, then, that you only ski the tails... Where do you get that idea? "the whole ski" = "the tails"? I don't have that idea. It's just the way you ski. What a pity is that in your denials, you are no longer to tell what is the truth, or your fantasy. What a pity you ski so poorly that you can't go down anything difficult... "There's nothing more foolish than one who deceives itself to deceive others," suit yourself. I couldn't agree more, and I will. But you... ...you come back when you've got a video of you skiing something other than a bunny hill! You are pathetic. Nope. Posting videos of oneself skiing down bunny hills is pathetic.. "Or just a gaper's denial." Nope. http://www.taomartialarts.com/ski/ski_v_is_boardl.wmv See? Yes, "green" MA, You made to ten turns on an easy section of hill covered in enough snow to keep your speed down to a crawl and you still lost your balance eight times! You did ten times on MA, and missed ten times. Without any proof other than your "green" MA and pretend that you know? Try saying that again, and using English... You are pathetic. Nope. Your boarding is. -- 'It is Mac OS X, not BSD.' -- 'From Mac OS to BSD Unix.' "It's BSD Unix with Apple's APIs and GUI on top of it' -- 'nothing but BSD Unix' (Edwin on Mac OS X) '[The IBM PC] could boot multiple OS, such as DOS, C/PM, GEM, etc.' -- 'I claimed nothing about GEM other than it was available software for the IBM PC.

P51 shot down and destroyed more Me262 so your analogy like your techique is flawed Yup, most Me262 were shot down by a mob of P51. Nevertheless, Me262 was a superior and faster airplane than P51. The is something flawed. Either your definition of "superior", or the quality of the pilots (the Me262 came out very late in the war), or part of the statistics are missing. Read the following logical statement. Most US fighters in Europe toward the end of WWII were P51's. Most Me262's were shot down by P51's. Makes sense since the P51 was the available plane to do so. The question left begging is, "How many P51's were shot down by Me262's?" If the answer is: More P51's were shot down by Me262's than were Me262's shot down by P51's, then the conclusion is that the Me262 was a better plane. If the reverse is true, then the conclusion (base solely on the first part of the statement) is that the P51 was the better plane. There are reasons a prop-job could be better than a jet. This might have to do with maneuverability, pilot ability, rate of climb, ability to slow down very quickly and others I can't think of off hand. Early in the Vietnam war, the Navy was using a carrier based, propeller airplane, whose name I can't remember, but the pilots all called them "spads" in imitation of the WWI plane. These planes were very successful against NVA jets. This was due almost solely to pilot ability. In a drill over the South China Sea, a "Spad" pilot sneaked up on a Voodoo pilot, took a picture with his gunsight camera and radioed the Voodoo pilot to tell him that he "had been had by a spad, dad." |

This statement does not make the Me262 a great airplane, only an innovative one. See my post on this subject a bit earlier, and the lore of the Korean war says the first MIG shot down over Korea was by a Chance-Vought Corsair, a Navy carrier based, propeller driven airplane, left over from WWII. And the flatboarding matches on. Only if it can be shown to be superior in all conditions. Otherwise it will be a change up from other methods and another tool in the quiver. |
