Brilliant!! Loved it.

It is pretty neat to see where the understanding kicks in.

Very much so! Control theory would account well for the rapid left-right shifts right at transition.

this is really good

Very cool. I somehow suspect that the way bikes normally are actually has some inherent advantages for this, but I could be mistaken...

Either way, neat to think that it can be overcome, and maybe back again, too. I wonder if he could alternate practice, and get to where he can switch easily.

(Kinda like me switching back and forth between Dvorak and qwerty... A skill I've lost some adeptness in, but still have.)

I used to be able to switch pretty fluidly between vi and emacs, which I bet is way harder

Done that... In both Dvorak and qwerty. (wait, have I? I'm not sure I've done much emacs in qwerty...)

Haven't used emacs in many years now though, so that muscle memory has long faded. I still find myself typing C-x C-s occasionally though.

Saw this on FB and found it super interesting. It's been strange learning new skills in aerial silks, but I'm not overriding any previous know how.
