Says it all right there. It's tough to be really good at anything without practice, motogp riders and F1 racers practice so it shouldn't be above any of us mere mortals
Nice job with looking where you want to go! Works eh? Just remember that it works the other way too - target fixation, same principle, you'll go where you look.
Tonight I practiced a few minutes of tight turns but wasn't feeling it in the parking lot, want to get better at my lefts.
