    interesting read, long but interesting. the thing about reducing the sensation of speed makes sense. if your not worried about speed, then you can focus on other things. good stuff

    With regards to driving (or riding in our case)

    Basically the intro goes;

    Try new things often.

    Pay attention to the results when you're trying new things.

    Try new things in small changes to see what it yeilds for your technique.

    Check your ego when you start seeing improvements.

    Check your ego again for good measure.

    Your reticular activating system (RAS) is powerful.

    Left hemisphere of the brain looks at details but gets overloaded easy...that's where the right hemisphere of the brain comes in.

    Right hemisphere of the brain looks at "the forest" rather than "the tree".

    Both brain hemispheres level each other out and use your RAS to compare previous results from trying new things to the new results.

    It gets a little hard to explain from here and that's not even halfway...you'll have to read the rest.

    Very interesting article!

    Worth the time to read, IMO.
