Yup, his bad, remember what you said that you weekenders beat us everyday skiers? I understand how you feel.
You don't have to show your bump skiing to me again and again, show me when I am on Heavenly next season.
Well, if you don't twist the facts, then I don't have to show you to prove myself?
As I said before, he may fulfill his dream if he can spend 1/2 the snow time like you. In sport, you can't only study, you need to do it, pratice and pratice and the dream may come true, but still depend on one's talent.
No, over the years arguing with him, I figure that his dream is to be able to ski the black diamond moguls with whatever he thinks "cool postures" so he can brag about it, which is really not that hard to do; I did it in my first three years, about thirty days, of skiing. I don't think I was "talented," but I did do a lot of "practice," I run regularly, studied the martial arts for learning how to move the body efficiently, and a lot of study/meditation to get rid of "impure ideas"/useless thoughts, so my body can move freely [to ski]. No, high level skiing is not because of "talent," but "discipline."
I am not the only one who argue with you. As BB said, your skiing can be considered as drill and an realy expert can ski the way you ski. You can prove me wrong once I am on Heavenly. At least you are on slope so we should be able to meet if we try.
I can understand why and how them bears arguing with me, after all, skiing is their western sport, and they do have long history of experience and knowledge (collectively) on skiing, and Taichi Skiing is quite a "foreign"/oriental stuff and new to them and beating on their turfs, of course they reject/排外, if not racism, but what reasons you Chinese gappers have? No skills, no experiences, and no knowledge, only 盲從起哄, if not 崇洋? 5 years, since hkssa days, you gappers haven't learned much or gone anywhere, but why would I care?
Given BB's audience are them bears, BB was letting them bears down easy; "drills" are for those who cannot ski like me to practice, and you missed this, "it is also true that anyone who cannot ski like Snowbender is certainly not an expert," accordingly, Taichi Skiing has set the minimum standard for expert skiing.
Norman will never dare to come out. He may go to take video of his skiing on some easy slope and just says our level of skiing is too low to understand. By the way, he also argue with you once he think he's better than you on the rollerblade and the endless argument persist for few monthes since he got some back up from Beg.
I think Norman would if he could, you are beating a dead horse. Yes, Norman is pretty self-conceit/自以為是, so he cannot learn "humbly," he has to argue, but he learns. And I was here to help, so we have the "discussions." And I've learned from him too—not necessarily skiing, but on human side of behaviors—so the exchanges still serve their functions. Beg's vexatious posting, only exposing himself a shameless little character, are a waste of the forum's bandwidth.
Anyway , enjoy your summer and see you next Feb on Heavenly. Mike on HKSSA already bought a pass there and we'll join him.
Great, then we'll meet for sure. Keep up the workout, make a lot of money, don't get sick, and don't get hurt, we shall see you guys on Heavenly comes Feb.
:)
