Second - Itchy, you completely missed what JQ was talking about.

Maybe, but I don't think so, since he is not an extreme skier, nor
into the extreme skiing, what he did is called "praise [others'
skiing] high to insinuate [my skiing] low," a common practice for 'net
bashers when they wouldn't want to admit that their opponent was
right.

LAL was correct I was referring to extreme downhill ski racing.

Yup, and you also said a lot of other things in that post too.

I looked up
Chinese Downhill racing and it seems to be also an extreme downhill racing,
the promoters just use the term "Chinese Downhill" to signify the race is a
mad rush to the bottom.

I use the term as "open," meaning everything goes.

IS you are saying you have competed in Chinese
Downhill racing and won? They are held once per year at different
locations, which race did you win?

No, I don't race. "Racing is a life style, not necessarily a life
achievement." In Taichi/Chinese mentality life achievement is not what
you have won, but what you have achieved, in life.


Yes, you are correct I am not an extreme skier. Here again you make
insinuations of my intent about extreme skiers and your low skiing level. I
said no such thing nor did I illude to. Here is your practice to take what
you want something to mean twist it to fit you in a positive way and knock
the original intent.

Your insinuation on my insinuation? Since you are not an extreme
skier, I wasn't insinuating. And you were insinuating I cannot do
extreme skiing so my skiing was low level.

I did not say your skiing was low level, you did!!!
What you have done is what those in denial do all the time, knock down the
questioner and praise oneself.

What makes you think that the questioner's questions always right/
valid? I did say I scrutinize the scrutinizer. And you feel that
you're being knocked down?

You have not proved your skiing is high
level to this point yet much less to be the ultimate form of high level
skiing.

You have not disproved my statements, nor proved your statements, your
denial shows.

I only asked, have you proved it by competing against others that
put their art on the line. If your system is so ultimate it will be easy
for you to come out victorious and everyone will recognize your ultimate
skiing system. Likewise, if it is a flop you will be luck to finish the
race and not be the *** of every joke.

"Here is your practice to take what you want something to mean twist
it to fit you in a positive way and knock the original intent"? Yes,
you did intend to insinuate that TCS is a flop, when you use competing
as your only mean of reference.


I suspect JQ was talking about extreme competitions where a selected
nearly impossible slope of cliffs and ravines and wild snow is used for
the "course" and the competitors are judged by selected line difficulty,
panache, and balls, as well as speed. Alpine Meadows (once again) has
been hosting an annual extreme telemarker competition on the keyhole and
the buttress slopes.

Extreme skiing may reflect a skier's courage and spirit but not
necessarily the techniques and skills. TCS Downhill would challenge a
skier's all around abilities of all-mountain skiing, courage and
spirit included.

Extreme skiing most definately reflects a skier's tehniques and skills

No, the soft snow condition that extreme skiing is in masked a lot of
faults of the skiing. The "on course" racing demands much more
technical skills than extreme skiing.

just to be a extreme skier you must have courage/spirit.

Yup, so are all other high level skiers, try an "on course"--stick to
your line--run at 45 mph, see how you feel.

Since there is no such
thing as "TCS Downhill" other than in your own imagination it has no merit
thus can prove nothing.

TCS Downhill was what I trademarked yesterday, and it would prove
whether or not you match up to your own expectation.

Make it real by having an organized event next
winter opened to the general skiing/boarding population and not just your
students. If you and your students dominate the podium then you will have
proved your point otherwise, it will be wishful thinking.

Your gapper quality shows.
