Don't get me wrong. #2 doesn't mean you're slow ("55 saves lives"). It means that your FIRST priority and joy is riding well. Speed and the sense of accomplishment take care of themselves.... you can be -- or will be, sooner or later -- really smooth and really quick if riding well is your primary goal.
#1 means that your FIRST priority is pushing it to 115% in pursuit of the rush, every time, all the time. Too much is never enough. It's not just speed, necessarily. It's risk-seeking behavior that gives you what you seek. You may wind up developing the skills over time, but that's not the prime motivator. The motivator is the thrill itself.
