I, for one, appreciate any demand for less anonymous and less abundant proper expert biomechanical and ski technique acumen. There should be some kind of screening process for ski pedigree before being allowed to post here. Those not passing a rigorous background screening should be designated for immediate removal or at least having their avatar marked with some sort of symbol of the identification of inferiority. Some perpetrators on this website make recommendations on ski technique as if they were anonymously selling to underaged children expired generic Viagra manufactured in Russia online from Canada. Or, backroom chemotherapeutically augmented ski technique advancement with audio and visual sensory overload brainwashing administered anonymously, with industrial cleaning products, acupuncture needles and a car battery. A process also perfected in Russia and administered in Canada (currently in my basement). Your hair and teeth may fall out, you may never again pee yellow, but I can guarantee you’ll be skiing better … eventually, probably …. most likely and in conceivably due time. Yes … I would definitely say yes - to some sort of likely probability. Take it from me though, in particular, that while expert skiing may a worthy risk to future health, this can be very dangerous as the makeshift cemetery, mass grave, tomato garden mortuary, whatever you want to call it, in my backyard continues to grow while my do-it-yourself crematorium kit remains on back order from, you guessed it, Russia. As soon as they develop a GoPro that can withstand 1500 degrees, I will show you what I mean with my new Russian crematorium dashcam where a picture is worth a thousand screams of permanently plateaued intermediates. I digress … though, that is why I do not mince words and acumen regarding my own technical and developmental model for alpine skiing for which the following video demonstrates the youth instruction version:
Similar to the above video, I also teach with the hockey stick method but, instead, to adults. It is a new developmental and technical model called PTSD (Primary Traumatic Stick Discipline). I am the only one who teaches it. It is a very specific alpine ski developmental and technical model, with its own custom terminology, concepts and drills, all with an excruciating specificity that must be strictly adhered to under all circumstances. The hockey stick is used much like an electronic sensory and shock messaging device for the entire body as I smack, poke, push, tap and slap the student into the correct stance and movements while skiing alongside them with hockey stick in hand. We can think of the hockey stick in this case as a long and stiff riding crop with a nice hook on the end. It is the perfect ski training device for the under-responsive student (which means all of you). With PTSD, all faulty motor patterns receive immediate negative reinforcement in a manner that institutes a small but carefully forced manifestation of both physical and emotional trauma. Trauma has long been considered a psychological “shortcut” in creating both thought and motor pattern discipline when administered with the correct DIRT. Repetitive frequencies of motor pattern disobedience will institute longer durations, higher intensities, stronger rates and more sinister timing of the ISR (Instructor Stick Response). The PTSD concepts, “flex for relief”, “holding it in”, “sucking it up” and “the freudian slip” have drastically different meanings than other concepts from other schools that may sound similar. Enough slap shots to the forehead and, before you know it, I will have you sensing a previously unrecognized technical superiority above all others.
Ultimately, you will either: A. Quit and wind up dead to me and my eventual huge group of disciples or, B. Will be doing my laundry (light on the starch) and walking my dog (high performance titanium pooper scooper supplied) or, C. Thinking you ski like a world cup champion from a double locked, windowless, padded room with a 24/7 internet connection. Right now I am trying to get my new school off the ground and am looking for people to smack around with my hockey stick for free. Please sign up on my website,
www.skiwithptsd.com but, please, not all at once so the site doesn’t crash (if you cannot log on, that is why). Please also check out my forum but just be careful what you post to avoid that late night, early morning sudden and frantic knock on the door immediately followed by your abrupt disappearance. I will be accumulating a congregation of fanatics to which I will shout with fire and fury from a large and lofty pulpit the superiority of my model across all ski organizations to include the world cup racing “secret” technical model that no one knows but me, my best friend, Marcel, … and my hockey stick. Ski race technique aside, I wouldn’t quite refer to my program as “racist” because the main focus is recreational. After all, skiing is about having fun, but (obviously) something that will absolutely never occur until you are a PTSD expert. Yes, we can all pretend but we all know that the pre-expert “fun” experience is a foolish ski pipedream. The eventual plan is to work our way into national governments and international organizations by whatever means necessary, overtaking all other alpine ski technique entities and absorbing them (through complete and utter termination) into my New World Order International Workers Party Ski Technique Authority, (NWOIWPSTA), pronounced “nowipsta”, whereby anyone caught teaching any other type of ski technique will be dealt with swiftly and severely. There is only one superior ski technique and a holy order by which all others, by default, are officially deemed as drastically inferior. We must destroy and eliminate all these other subversive factions before they catch on like the famine, disease and crippling poverty of ski technique that they truly are.
I am currently working on some kind of special solute to help in branding my program in case anyone has a good idea. I do like the theme of “pinky toe leads the way” type of solute.
We also offer alignment services. Once it has been determined that a PTSD student’s alignment is off (which means everybody), we immediately schedule an alignment correction procedure with our ankle alignment specialist, Annie Wilkes.
