Amazing skateboard trick captured in 1000fps slow-motion

Consider the physics behind this. He has about .001 seconds to kick the board in exactly the right directions (two different vectors), and exactly the right amount of forces, all the while taking into account his own projectile.

It also demonstrates how amazing the human central nervous system is. All those reactions are calculated and executed somatically in that 0.001 second. No super computer could even come remotely close to that level of performance.

I'm not sure about that, computers are pretty damn powerful and fast, but the state of motor control and feedback technology is far surpassed by an athlete of this caliber.
