Yeah, except that you've been claiming all along that your Tai Chi Skiing is something so incredibly advanced and mystical that you can not describe using the English language. Yes, true Taichi Skiing, the substance of Taichi Skiing, cannot be described. What you read in the descriptions are only the "appearance" of Taichi Skiing and the mechanism how to do it. To present it in English realm, true Taichi Skiing is all mental, and it is wordless, one can only know it through experience. And as there's no English words can provide you that experience, so you cannot "understand" it through English. It is advanced; I've likened the example as Me262 vs. P51 once, which gives you a "visual" clue. And it is mystical only because you don't know how phantom it. "And the realm of Unism, is holistic and in the wordless realm, and it has no English equivalence." That's why "Unism" is coined. Unism describes a realm of existence that mind and body are one, a state of existence where "what is mind is the body, and what is the body is mind." Since English can only describe a dualism/dualistic realm, i.e. a separated mind and body, English has reached its limitation, so there's "no English equivalence." - Tai Chi Skiing on his inability to describe Tai Chi Skiing. And Taichi Skiing/Unism describes a physical reality (in Unism, "all mental" is the same as "all physical") that is beyond the physical reality that can be described with English. And with English words can only be described/defined with other English words, how do you get this new idea into your head? IS Dave |

Oh god! I can't let this go. He hooked me again. Yah, I always use good baits. "taichiskiing" wrote in message ups.com... Line-skiing "rides," and turn-skiing "skis." Finally, maybe I understand what your made up word "line- skiing" means. It means standard crossunder turns. And "turn-skiing" is crossover turns. You could have just learned accepted terminalogy, and avoided a lot of confusion. Not quite, my definition of "line-skiing" is "to ski lines," and "turn- skiing" is "to ski turns" where the terms "line" and "turn" are well defined/understood in skiing community. Though line-skiing also utilizes the technique of crossover and crossunder, nevertheless, they are basically "turns." What you call "crossover," we old school call up-unweighting, and "crossunder," down-unweighting. Same old same old, you only changed the soup without changing the materials. Like I said, there's nothing new, technique-wise, in skiing anymore. But the new terms keep coming out, what is "crossthrough"? Line-skiing "rides" because the skier uses the weight shifting to lead the skis (to adjust the "shape" of the "variable board") before weigh on it, where the "shape" of the board/two skis will track a particular line, and the skier rides the line down. In my observation, most of coaches, though they are very good skiers, they are turn-skiers, as making good "turns" is their required discipline, and end up the only way that they ski. "Riding a line" goes beyond that, IS |
