"Falling" as included within the Conceptual Periphery of "Riding" : The Conceptual Relationship between "Riding" and "Falling" in Skiing.

The purpose of this paper is to consider the possibilities (perspectives) regarding the creation of a innovative ski-instruction system which evaluates the actual significance of skiing.

Thus far, research on skiing has focused on the downhill descent of the skier (hereinafter riding".) Correspondingly, ski instruction has regarded "falling" as a failure of movement and therefore, instruction is focused on learning the skills necessary to overcome "falling."

However, "falling" must be understood as an integral part of "riding." Moreover, "falling" should be contrasted to "riding," but rather should be conceptualized as existing on the outside periphery of "riding." This focus on the conceptual relationship between "riding" and "falling" would contradict conventional disciplines in the area of ski instruction, and therefore the conceptual relationship between "riding" and "falling" would give birth to a new discipline (ski—instruction system).

Future ski instruction research should focus research efforts on including "falling" within the acceptable boundaries of stable "riding" , while clarifying the proper mechanisms of stable "riding." Furthermore, it is vital to pursue new directions in viewing the mechanisms which sustain the possibilities of "falling" (catastrophes).

The future of ski instruction calls for the creation of a new ski-instruction system which focuses not on how to avoid falling, but rather on a system which incorporates "falling" into the ski—instruction system. Moreover, it is also important to strive to establish a TOPOS that includes the possibilities of "falling" (catastrophe) into the system.
