No, I don't have to see all of his videos to know how he ski—that's the skill called "Motion Analysis"/MA—and comparing to the "experts" videos he posted previously as "high performance skiing," his mogul videos are mediocre, (can't find them now, otherwise, I'll post them for comparison,) and I don't recall ever seeing his "carving" video, and none of them TTB, maybe you Whistler group can put your money where your mouth is, and put up a TTB, so we all can see how well you Whistler group can do, so we can discuss? (if you don't already have one, there's still a mouth till the ski resorts to close,) Otherwise, you Whistler group is just like norman, another blow-hard/吹牛 party.

For sure my skiing is really not there. But your skiing is

B2L2 寫:I have no problem with all the "ex" professionals being strong than "us" average/weekend skiers. :) If you read #75 again, you're the one who bring the "ex"-title into the discussion in this thread. I do agree certain certification does represent certain level of skiing. You know PKU is a current active L2 and I don't understand why you insist that you want to MA his skiing. You aren't in the CSIA system and you basically against it anyway. Any comment from you could be consider biased anyway.
Well, the "ex-title" is still a "fact" brought upon by demonstrated techniques, which PKU has missed completely, and it is not the first time my friend's video been presented here; yes, I was aware that PKU is CSIA level 2, that is also why I was disappointed that he missed his MA, and kept on bashing, so unprofessional, proved that he is just another 'net-basher; "he has wasted his level 2 training." Whether or not he is a "current active" level 2 is not an issue here, his level 2 instructor's skills, only in the lower end in all CSIA skills spectrum, does not impress we old timers, so the TTB's requirement is established to level the playing field (only techniques count, and no title considered). No, I don't "insist" to do MA on his skiing, just checking his "credibility," and he failed.
If you're too lazy to search, that's your lost then. Just from my memory, we have long video from BigWhite, LakeLouise, etc.
Blame it on webpage's search, too primitive. But what's the big deal that you cannot post them again? If you Whistler group dare not to put up your videos, I didn't lose anything, but your group sure lose "big" to establish your group's credibility.
Carving video, why you care? You don't like carving anyway.
It is not whether or not I like it, but "carving" is now the "ski industry's" standard, and you tell me that he failed again? Impressive! I may not "pure carve," but I do carve. "To put my money where my mouth is," this run is also TTB,
I think we even have some TaiChi skiing videos, do you want to rate those as well? We were only mediocre in TaiChi skiing and could definitely get some helps from you.
Only other two "skiing Taichi style" clips on youtube I can find, is he one of your group?
And no, all we talking about so far is "Flatboarding," the external skiing techniques, and we haven't touch "Taichi" skiing part. "Taichi" skiing is to use "Taichi" to move the body to do the skiing. Not sure that you guys can be helped under your current mindsets.
If you rate PKU's mogul as mediocre, that's fine. Everything is relatives. If you compare him to the ski god, maybe you're right. If you compare that to yourself, maybe you are practicing what "gappers" do like how you mention them. I wouldn't like to see you become another "Norman" for sure. One is enough here.
You got that right, that's why I ask for his videos, I don't want to see him to become another norman, either. The true high level skiing is not just to ski short hops for short video clips, he still has a "seven minutes gap" to catch up before you can put the "gapper" on me. You are licking your own cheek.
Just curious, did Mike ever comment on your skiing?
No, we don't comment on each others' skiing just like you don't comment on your fellow L3/L4 instructors, that's only a professional courtesy, and you Whistler group should have learned it. Nevertheless, remember this guy, our new found "no poler"?

It's just like 500-600 meter vertical and it's groomed . How hard is it to ski all the way down in one shoot . I never been in heavenly but according to the trail map . The top is like more than 10000.00 feet but the top of the Olympic run is 9000.00 feet and the bottom is like 7400 feet.

No, I didn't say that TTB is hard, but a "basic" requirement for “會,”a simple long run is not for developing techniques (no forms specified) but train for stamina, endurance, and discipline; I'm surprised, given that you are level 2 instructor, and you don't even have a clip to show for? Not much to brag about; if you cannot do it on the groom runs, off-piste will be even more challenge.

Not bad skiing, but no, my memory isn't bad, there are no TTB, and no "carving." What about those clips? You think that because you know how to ski moguls, so only mogul skiing is "performance skiing"? “管眼”‧ It requires more skills and techniques to do what my friend does than your merely "turn skiing."
FYI, first two runs are from the top of peak chair to the bottom of peak chair at Whistler. And it covers 1300ft vertical. Does that satisfy TTB?
Since according to you, no specific form of skiing is required to do TTB, it was just you who focused on the mogul style. Maybe you are the one with tunnel vision instead.
B2L2 寫:FYI, first two runs are from the top of peak chair to the bottom of peak chair at Whistler. And it covers 1300ft vertical. Does that satisfy TTB?
Barely; my question was "what about them?" You Whistler group think if your group members do the TTB is "performance skiing," but others do it it's so-so? Did say that you Whistler group lacks of integrity.
Since according to you, no specific form of skiing is required to do TTB, it was just you who focused on the mogul style. Maybe you are the one with tunnel vision instead.
And you got that wrong too, it is PKU who was focused only on moguls to brag about it, or you don't know it was PKU who was doing the moguls? If it is former, it is you Whistler group with "baised" "tunnul vision"; and if it is latter, you are a little knowledge, so are you not also lying to yourself to cheat others? So the conclusion, "又一個“自欺欺人，騙自己”的發言，這個論壇上“弱慢”何其多？"
Always the same old way. Keeping saying other "little knowledge" and put gold plate on your face. No good for any discussion.
Did you not understand English? My first line is a question, nowhere it is a statement. I'm answer whether you "consider" those two runs are TTB or not. Did I ever say you or your friend did just a "so-so" TTB run in that reply?
You asked for TTB video, PKU posted 3 video as a reply with no single comment. It was you who brought up the mogul skill and jump to conclusion. No where in TTB discussion required curving (or bump skiing) since you said no specific form is required, but you keep asking about it. Why? If you want to ask for curving video (on green groom runs especially), maybe you should start a new thread for that. There is no need to discuss skiing form in a TTB discussion, since again you are the one who said no specific form is needed.
Ok, one more time. If you answered "barely" for not quite agree those 2 runs are TTB, why? Please give a straight answer.
If one has tunnel vision, he always jump to conclusion like you did. And you just proved that yourself.
B2L2 寫:Always the same old way. Keeping saying other "little knowledge" and put gold plate on your face. No good for any discussion.
If you don't want others to say what you do is that you don't do it yourself, and when you operate on a smaller knowledge domain (e.g. skills for "mogul" skiing vs skills for "all-mountain" skiing) is what qualifies you "little knowledge." You are not a "little knowledge," no need to pretend to be one. And no, what kind of "meaningful" discussions that you Whistler group has provided here in past three years? Dog ate your papers? (Another prediction, you can't!)
Did you not understand English? My first line is a question, nowhere it is a statement. I'm answer whether you "consider" those two runs are TTB or not. Did I ever say you or your friend did just a "so-so" TTB run in that reply?
The answer was given, "barely," as PKU may spend long enough time on those runs, nevertheless, they missed "physical" criterion, a mid-mountain loading is not the "bottom." You didn't say "so-so," but you forgot to read what PKU was saying.
You asked for TTB video, PKU posted 3 video as a reply with no single comment. It was you who brought up the mogul skill and jump to conclusion. No where in TTB discussion required curving (or bump skiing) since you said no specific form is required, but you keep asking about it. Why?
The way PKU was saying, he did imply his runs were "performance skiing," if not "high performance skiing"; reread my posts around and about where the posts questioning his "performance skiing."
If you want to ask for curving video (on green groom runs especially), maybe you should start a new thread for that. There is no need to discuss skiing form in a TTB discussion, since again you are the one who said no specific form is needed.
Given PKU's wiggling answers, I knew that he may not have one, so I double checked his "credibility." You Whistler group couldn't provide credible answers, even the clips on "on green groom runs" may provide a "valid" answer, (as it is not as easy as it sounded, as green run TTBs are usually the longest run on the mountain,) but you group has failed, so the conclusion was correct, you Whistler group was lying to "gold plate your own face."
Ok, one more time. If you answered "barely" for not quite agree those 2 runs are TTB, why? Please give a straight answer.
TTB: "Top To Bottom" is "Top To Bottom"; and I don't really consider the following run a "true" TTB,
If one has tunnel vision, he always jump to conclusion like you did. And you just proved that yourself.
No, it is you Whistler group couldn't provide the "conclusion," so you argue to “佔口頭上的便宜,”ok, you can have it. You couldn't know me if you cannot see into my skiing.
