That thing is SO FAST that it is kinda blowing me away.

I recently saw one of Kurt Caselli, who is about the fastest American in desert off-road racing. UN-FUGGIN' GAWDLY fast.

At a certain point in speed, I quit looking for "smooth" or "good" lines, and I only look for things that I perceive will "take me out", and rely on the suspension and gyroscopic effect to carry me through everything else.

At the speed of that video, and of the one that I recently saw of Kurt, both have exceeded my ability to comprehend how they are still upright and taking nutrition. I mean, they are going SO FAST that I cannot see and decipher what is "good" and what is in the "that will wreck me" category.

Amazing.

Our abilities are truly beyond our grasp, at times.....
