I think that most of higher level racers can ski the entire course without poles with no problems, but for that advantage of initial poles help pushing out, poles become a “must have” equipment, and if they must carry them, might as well to learn how to use them, the “ski with poles” culture was born, even though besides the initial push-out, they seldom use the poles on the course.
Remember when I taught at Heavenly in'98~'99 season, they chewed me up for skiing no-poles, and I didn't get rehired, now they start to train their instructors to ski without poles, I was way ahead of them, and you guys are way behind them.

And you still have wrong knowledge on trivial things. Poor you.
taichiskiing 寫:I only raced once in my life, that was what they told me, as I skied no-poles, I cannot touch anything “except my own equipments” when I starting out.
You aren't a person that believe on things that other people tell you. Why use that as excuse now?

Oh, I'm sure they are able to ski without poles. But we aren't talking this topic here. You say the racing rules required poles and I pointed out that's wrong. Again, it is not a "must have" equipment per the rule said. And racers carry poles for more than just the initial push. See whether you could guess what other advantages are.
taichiskiing 寫:Rules may be changed, as more and more people compete without poles.
Rules had not changed unless you found find me an older rule book that said it is required. Please use fact to prove anything is right or wrong.

So in order to teach at Heavenly, you don't need to pass any PSIA exam? They "chewed" you up for just using no-poles? Have you straighten up the fact yet?

If it is “trivial thing,” then it won’t effect me much, no need to spend energy on it. And as you spend energy for trivail pursue, and end up going nowhere, “poor you” it is.

It is not an excuse, but a matter of facts, and they were the racing “officials.” What are you picky about?

Maybe just your narrow-mindedness, couldn’t see the “big picture”? FIS’s rule that specifies the requirement that the competitors must push off on they own poles does set the tone for the consequent techniques that follow if they want to win. And if you don’t win, you don’t get the sponsors...
“Start Procedure
No official or attendant who could possibly give an advantage to or disturb
the starting competitor can be behind him. All outside help is forbidden. By
order of the starter, the competitor must plant his poles in front of the start
line, or where indicated. The starter must not touch the competitor at the
start. Pushing off from the start posts or other aids is forbidden and the
competitor must start only with the help of his ski poles.”—613.3—

So you didn’t really read my videos? Did you? Skiing has changed quite a bit too since FIS first formed.

No, they hired me based on my then 24 years skiing experience, and I only need to attend their new instructors 3 days seminar, and I past their qualifying test in flying colors. Ski instructors’ jobs are not really that glorious or big deal as you half-baked instructors claim to be. Actually, I’m really glad that they didn’t rehire me then, otherwise, my Taichi Skiing would never have a chance to be matured. Funny that how my life turn out to be.

B2L2 寫:Why am I picky about? To apply your "logic" to yourself.
Trivial pursue makes a trivial logic.
When you said "Ted用poles是alpine skiing比賽的規矩，白痴。", that "白痴" applies to you only.
Yup, poles are required at the start, so it is a“比賽的規矩”, so the "白痴" is not applied to you, who argue about it?
You aren't racing at Ted's level and you know nothing. You pretend that you know everything and call others "白痴" . Who's the real "little person"?
Yup, I can say the same thing to you, “Who's the real "little person"”? I don't “pretend,” I “know” everything I said. It is not hard, only a simple discipline, "don't say the things that you don't know." Can you?
Why all a sudden you have time to search the rule book for info now? :)
