Actually, the separation of the Maxwell tensor into magnetism and electricity depends on your reference frame.
Well, if we are going to really go into it gravity is not a force according to General Relativity.

Hah. The resistance to pole length is unbelievable. Everyone apparently learns at birth about the right angle arm standing upright.
Go outside this length thinking and most are convinced you’re insane.
Sorry, but those are really important. You have no true idea what balance issues you may have without doing those. But hearing you loud and clear. Maybe the best thing in a lesson is to do those briefly for assessment purposes, then go patiently through the elements and purposes of one good balance exercise, then pass on to something else. Leave the repetition for homework.Turn offs -
Stupid human one footed drills
Lol. You’re a hypnotist.I've got one friend who solicited a bit of advice and I just simply offered your poles are too long as I didn't really want to get into a whole amateur analysis with him. To this day he claims it changed his life.
Call me when you’re dialed on this oneStupid human one footed drills
Video JF of you doing the same?Call me when you’re dialed on this one
Lol, I used to try but I need my poles which BTW are probably too longVideo JF of you doing the same?
I am positive you are closer to performing that stupid human trick than most anyone on this forum...Lol, I used to try but I need my poles which BTW are probably too long
l leave that one for the kids nowadays
How about just the tip, LOL? Try it, you might like it.Yeah I get the one footed stuff is really important but it's not to me. One ski terrifies me that I'll rip knee ligaments apart if I plant the other foot and having a dead weight ski is unwieldy or unbalancing to lift before even starting the drill.
So I'll pass thanks. If you can't find a way to teach me without that I'm not interested.
Great suggestion! The closest I ever came to this experiencing this effective drill was a “human slalom” in which students rotated through skiing and being the actual “gates”. Other than that, I’ve never seen the use of race training for non-racers.Lack of race style training. I have no interest in being a racer, but I know the clock doesn't lie. What better way to improve fundamental technique than to take multiple runs through a short race course, it only needs to be a half dozen easy turns, trying to improve ones time? Mixing this with a bunch of coaching and video analysis would cut through a lot of the BS and get to the heart of what needs to be improved with your skiing.

Sadly, I don’t believe racing is even a part of PSIA certification in most if not all divisions anymore.Great suggestion!

You absolutely should not be asked to do any drill or ski any terrain you are not comfortable with. It should be a preface to any lesson that the instructor asks to be made aware if students feel uncomfortable with any situation. The instructor should also ask if anyone has any health or physical limitations.So I'll pass thanks. If you can't find a way to teach me without that I'm not interested.
I agree 100% with the post that @4ster made just above. Just to elaborate, the PSIA method of teaching sees a lesson as a partnership between the student and the instructor. The instructor needs to be sensitive, cognizant, and strategic to the wants, desires, and limitations of their student. The student should also attempt to communicate those same to the instructor. It's the instructor's job to find a way to give the student what they want and need in a manner that helps them achieve their goals. This can be a lot more challenging in a group lesson environment!I know that you're writing in jest but there is a serious point here. I REALLY don't like that stuff and it doesn't matter if drilling it would turn me into a Bode Miller (it wouldn't) I still won't do it. So what does that do to my learning experience?
Creates a barrier or resentment that I landed an instructor that wanted to do those balance drills again or even has me skiing out of class and asking for a refund. By all means teach me to improve my balance or relative weighting but by doing things I can do with both skis still on the ground. At least I'm telling you. The majority of people who have things forced on them in a lesson that they really don't like probably smile nicely say "great" when asked then just never take a lesson ever again.

Chairlift-shadow slalom is a lot of fun if you have a place where the layout works. You can use the ones coming towards you or the ones going away.The closest I ever came to this experiencing this effective drill was a “human slalom”

Empathy should be high on the criteria list for hiring instructors.^ Yebbut if I take a lesson I don't do it for the other stuff - it's because I want too work on something or some expert eyes on me for a bit of a tune up. Not wanting to be ritually humilated to ensure I am appropriately humble with the ski gods who are deigning to spare some of their time with me is part of it. If you want me to recognise my balance sucks I can do it far cheaper by standing on one foot while trying to put a sock on.
Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position.
