drag up some other instructor's youtube post and encourage folks to senselessly tear it apart???
The reason we put up examples of horrid ski instruction is for the benefit of skiers who want to know the difference. The general population of skiers don't know the difference between good and bad sking, neither do most ski instructors. If that isn't obvious to you by now you are reading the wrong forum. The comparisons (you call:"senselessly tear it apart") that are put up here are neither senseless or tearing apart, they are correctly analyzed examples of skiing movement. And with the way they are analyzed on this forum, the skier can read an informed, educational post about what is poor skiing and incorrect skiing methodology, and that is still fair game.
So, you don't like his approach- that's why you're all already turning to this forum, isn't it? Why the daily defamation of all other ski instructors not in the fold??
Just a little over reaction here! We have looked at two at the most three, You tube, bad examples of ski instruction and contrasted that with examples of proper skiing to compare it.
It's not about the fold or that PMTS is better, it's about bad instruction going out to thousands of uninformed, helpless skiers.
And really, save for a handful, who has the chops to bash Gurshman anyway (other than harald) ?? No one I've seen here (certainly not me-that guy has a lifetime and a half of skiing on me).
I'm sorry you feel that way about the others that post here, I find that the majority of members here have more than adequate depth of knowledge and ability to do rational MA on the skiing likes and coaching information put up by the videos in this thread, especially the one I first put up that was later removed from You Tube.
I would surely take skiing movement MA from our forum posters before I would from the drop in visitors we encounter from time to time.
What does it tell you that the video I critiqued was removed? It tells me that it was bogus and that even the supporters (friends) of that instructor, told him he'd better remove it because it was bogus. It also tells me, we just did skiers on the world wide web a great service..
You may think its "sensless tearing apart" but you are one who is benefiting from exposing the difference between, blatant, bad, instruction, from correct instruction, which you may have been trapped in or could be trapped by, in the future. If it were not for the education you are receiving here; you might appreciate posts that describe bad instruction. Someday you might make an educated decision based on these posts. The time and effort many are putting in, to help skiers become educated, fills these pages.
I guess you wouldn't report or expose a bad doctor, or a doctor advocating damaging treatment on the internet, and harming patients?
