How is his throttle control?
When does he get off the seat? Yea, he is late sometimes, but aren't we all?  from time to time.
Watch his knees. Why does he always have a lock?

Meh, you left out the first most important section of the mental process - desire and decision.
The thing is comfort comes from the result matching the expectancy - and the more times this happens, the more the brain "predicts" that what you are doing is ok. But the desire to step outside that comfort zone and feed the brain the information that is needed and the decision to continuously feel those inputs in a particular environment is paramount.
That is the thing you can not get away from in this type of post, and people like me will continue to be sticks in the mud. Its a little bit Niki Lauda mentality of what is the accepted risk.
He is capable of doing those things in that video because his brain tells him that the risk is low, because his brain can "predict" what is going to happen based on his previous experiences. However you do not have control over all of the variables on a public street.
