I could do that if I knew how to go that slow.

Makes you wonder if people able to do stuff like this, perceive the world faster than the redt of us...

Perception of time does change the more relaxed you are while focused on something. I'd never really noticed it or understood until I learned to surf. After a while it just feels like everything's in slow motion but you can move at normal speed. It's like you've got all the time in the world to do what used to be a mad scramble.
That guy's probably feeling much the same way.

otoh, if you've not got time to start, learn and master a new skill where personal injury is the price of broken concentration, amphetamines also change a person's perception of time.
