    That was interesting. It was very odd that he realized the moment in which his brain flipped the switch and allowed him to ride on the regular bike again.

    Does anyone want to try the reverse steer VFR challenge!?! :lol:

    Just goes to show why training wheels are bad, they act like the backwards bike.

    Interesting. I have a friend that mentors in Neural Plasticity. I shared this with him. I guess anything is possible, huh? I know when I was a kid I lived in Sandpoint Idaho and in the summer I would rollerskate and in the winter I would ice skate. The transition between the two was always an awkward period. They are different enough to make me wobbly at the beginning of winter/summer etc.

    On one job I was on, I ran a rubber tire excavator ("duck") back and forth along a goat trail across a steep hill. I managed to stay alive by turning towards the side I didn't want to go when the steer axle was behind me. There are two main types of joy stick controls, John Deere and CAT. If you're used to running one set, you'll look like a monkey fucking a football if you try the other. The temporary solution is to cross your arms.

    When I first read this I thought it was about the backward bike from Joan Claybrook from the 70's. What an asshat.

    That's hard for normal people but i think it's easier for those who have only 1 hand. I know he is trying to prove iur normal brain and reactions.
