This most likely will be my last post to you IS concerning your TCS.
We have come to the point where you cannot contribute to the discussion
about your
TCS without resorting to name calling, your words are the correct words,
your meanings
are the only correct meanings, what you say is above refute, nothing can
prove you wrong
because you are the arbitor of right and wrong, fact or fiction. None the
less I have replied to your words below...

Yup, we have beaten this dead horse to dead many times already. The
truth is not my words are the only correct words or non-refutable, but
because you haven't refuted them, so the truth stands. Nevertheless,
thanks for patronage.

.....
Yup, that also becomes every gapper's excuse to deny them. The
ultimate fighting art cannot really be shown in today's society,
http://www.taomartialarts.com/misc/blindswordsman.wmv
As well, when it is shown, you may not know what's it "ultimate"
about. What do you mean by "ultimate," again?
You are the one that used the word ultimate to discribe your
TCS not me.It is up to you give your meaning of ultimate, so
what do you mean by "ultimate"?

I thought I just described it in some previous post--it is an English
translation for Taichi, which literally means "beyond the ridge of the
roof." "Ultimate" may have many meanings at different places of usage,
but mostly associated with the condition "most," so by Taichi Skiing
as the "ultimate" skiing, I mean the "highest" form of skiing. Now,
what is the "highest" form of skiing? The criterion is simple--the
simpler the better, while satisfying the high standards of high level
skiing. The simplistic of Taichi Skiing makes it "ultimate." And we
haven't gotten to the internal stuff yet. Where can you learn how to
use breathing to control your skiing?

.....
Taichi Skiing is not a life style, but a way of life, where
you live with every aspect of it--when there's snow/in
season you go skiing,and when you not skiing, you think
about it constantly. So, it is every day life. Ski racing
is only a life style because that's how racers choose to
make their living, and all their living/life ties to their racing schedules...
Your explination here can go either way. You have made a
judgement call about racers/competitors that is only your
opinion and which I would not subscribe to for all
racers/competitiors. The attitude and the way a
racer/competitior looks at his
activity is an individual thing, they choose whether it is a
life style or a way of life or both not you choosing for them!

The way of life is about what you pursue in life, and life style is
about what you do in daily living, where these two may or mat not go
together, but they are different.

(snip)

You were? That's an interesting switch. I must misread your
challenging posts somewhere. Then, what's all these posts
that hinted I cannot ski stuff for?
I have not said you can not ski, I have not said you can not
do extreme skiing. I have been told by someone that I respect
and have skied with that said you are a good skier and ski
everything that your mountian has. So I believe this person
thus believe that you are a good skier but this doesn't make
you an extreme skier or TCS the "ultimate" skiing system.
You have not proven

You may not have said, but you sure have hinted a lot.

your skiing system to be anything new or ultimate about it.
You have just used a lot of words and some videos
that show or prove nothing of substance. Like I said before
it is not up to me to
disprove you, since nothing has been proven yet.

If you haven't figured out what amounts to a proof, here's how the
proof goes: I made a claim how to do this Taichi Skiing thing, along
with theories and how to (the premises), and I have followed that "how
to" to do my skiing (the method/mechanics of delivering), the results
are shown. The successful of the runs, even you think they are
mediocre, prove the "how to" works, which in turn validates the
theories, which in turn proves my claim. Yes, true Taichi always
finishes in full circle.

(snip)

What makes you think that the questioner's questions
always right/valid?
I know this questioner is correct on the questions asked
being the questioner of fact!!!
You do? Who? What? How?
Your response to my statement doesn't make any sense. All
those questions were already answered.

No, that wasn't the question; here was the question: "What makes you
think that the questioner's questions always right/valid?" Just say
"you know" wouldn't do it, as like what you accused me of.

Yes, that's known as "know yourself, so you know others,
and know others, so you know yourself."--Chinese proverb--
It is nice you can quote other people's words, they have no meaning if you
do not apply them to yourself. You use these quotes as if it gives you some
moral right or makes you correct or others not correct.

Interesting to see how you draw the conclusion from reading/
interpreting a simple proverb.

That's just a simple discipline/practice: seeing the errors/mistakes
made by others may make you realize the same errors/mistakes you made
(and hopefully correct them), and knowing what yourself would do,
given the same condition, you might know how others react. In time you
may learn how to read people.

.....
Yes, the "ultimate" is defined and described and the method
to deliver it also provided and the results are shown, so
it is very scientific, so it is a proof on my end. You
don't believe it then you have to disprove it, and that's
the way of science. So here's the same point you fail to
see, "have you proved your point other than just saying it is so"?
It is your system not mine so I will not do the work for you.
Scientific proof is not based on ones opinion or by only one
subject. You have not used science to prove anything. If you
have prove it, write down the methods you used to prove your
points and the results of those studies done thus far.

Well, I have made the transmission, so would like to see how you've
received it. Your answer would help you/us to find out where the
communication broke. I think that you are ducking the question because
you don't really know what "ultimate" means. Shall we give it a try,
again?

.....
Yup, another your "praise higher so to insinuate lower" tactic. No,
you don't have to be a buddha to live in Unism, and Unism is like
nature, if every thing just is, there's no "mistake."
In your Unism, you are always right, also in your Unism
everyone else is always right!

Unism is a state of mind, in oneness, where there's no "right" or
"wrong," thus no "mistake." "Everyone else" is never in the Unism.

Very shrewd language skills, ok, if you deny it, I take your words for
it. As well, I did tell you that competitions do not test the "real"
skiing skills, and I don't waste energy to chase vanities.
You are wasting energy chasing vanities, the claim that TCS
is the "Ultimate" skiing system above all others. This is
from you and only you, it is not a held assumption of the
skiing community in general. If you claimed for you it is
the "ultimate" skiing system, no one would argue with you.
To say, TCS is the "ultimate" skiing system as compared to
all other skiing system that is vanity at its highest!

Taichi Skiing sports a simple principle and techniques: "edge turns
and flat ski runs," which is the "gateway" to high level skiing that
every skiing style has to achieve first. That is, you can use Taichi
Skiing to do any other style's skiing, but not the other way around.
And that's what makes Taichi Skiing "ultimate." When you can do what
Taichi Skiing does, by definition, you are already Taichi Skiing,
whether you know Taichi or not.

This is the meat of it. I think I said something similar
not to long ago.

.....
So there is TCS Challenge(TM). And the "ultimate" part of
Taichi is not to compete but to make the opposite force
disappears. Just like my ski buddy, "no name, please" said,
"what's great about Taichi is it doesn't compete, it
dissolves everything." What do you mean by "ultimate," again?
TaiChi dissolves everything? If you believe this to be true,
I really feel sorry for you.

Oops, typos on my part, it actual meant "every opposing force."

Even to bring it up as if it make some positive point about
Tai Chi is foolish and it doesn't follow with your "Unism" belief.

And the "art" of Taichi Skiing is not on how fast or steep or
difficult one can ski but how well one balances the centrifugal force
and centripetal force. In the balance/oneness of centrifugal force and
centripetal force, you may find the Unism.

That bit of joy that makes skiing so addictive.

.....
Yes, after I proved my "statements" are true, it is up to the world or
anyone else to disapprove them, if they don't "believe" it.
No, it isn't. But let's for a second say yes, it is for us
to disprove your proof. We need the
proof and how that proof was obtained and can it be reproduce
over and over again. You
have given nothing, written nothing about how you proved your
point of view. What's in your mind is not proof.

I did; flatboarding, straightlining, slipping turn and etc. techniques
were published here in the group some times ago. The results were
shown, and the rest of it is in the history.

.....
Not really, it only shows your partitioned skiing
mentality/techniques; Taichi Skiing does them both with the
same principle: edge turns and flatski runs.
Since your system is the ultimate you are able to both and
do it with ease correct?
Yes, what I said, all-mountain.
I can ski all mountian too, but it doesn't make me an extreme
skier by any stretch of the imagination.

I may jump cliffs, but I don't consider that as extreme skiing.

Depends on how high the cliffs are. A 5 or 6 footer
isn't very extreme, but a 100 footer certainly is.

.....
Basically, that's a typical line-skiing run/speed on a
groomed moderate blue trail.
Racing down a groomed moderate blue trail? This does not
take much high level skiing.
This isn't no where near extreme skiing either.

Experience tells, the stake gets higher when you go faster.

Yup. The force of the impact increases with speed.

4. see how you feel (WTH does this mean?)
Most people would bail out/turn at 25 mph or less, so it
would definitely test your "courage and spirit" at 45 mph.
Are we speaking about beginners and intermediate skiers here?

Are you still thinking that I am talking about "beginners and
intermediate skiers" here? (and talking about I'm confrontational).
No, beginners and intermediate skiers, (even some advanced skiers)
cannot even make to 45 mph.

I prefer NOT to go much over 40 or 45. It doesn't
get any more fun at higher speeds and, as you say,
the stakes get higher.

TCS Downhill was what I trademarked yesterday, and it would prove
whether or not you match up to your own expectation.
The second half of this sentence makes no sense.
To see if you can keep up.
We are not talking about beginners & intermediates if we are
talking "ultimate" Skiing system. Those that are of high
level skiing would have no problem doing what you proposed.

Yup, "those that are of high level skiing," what I said, they are
already in "high level skiing."

I bet you your student couldn't do it either.

Your gapper quality shows.
I'm glad my gapper quality shows it only means I am in
good company with you...
Glad that you agree, I haven't misjudged your character.
:)

My character is like yours, untouchable.

Ok, if you believe it.

He does. As well he should.
