Love to know what speed he was doing when he lost control.

Recently watching the second season of Disenchantment. As a The Simpsons fan it's one of my favourites already.

Bike riders should note how long it is before he applies the brake, thereby keeping the speed up and maximising the gyroscopic effect to keep the bike firmly upright, which gives you a much better chance of staying in control. At that speed you couldn't lay the bike down if you tried. Takes titanium balls though because the natural instinct is to slam on the anchors, but do it right and the worse you'll get is warm feet.

If you've got 30yrs to spare....

Lexus and The & Partnership have collaborated on the longest documentary ever made - 60,000 hours of film that delves into the art of Japanese craftsmanship, in an increasingly ‘artificial intelligence (AI) powered world.’

Although the Canadian journalist Malcolm Gladwell claimed it takes a person 10,000 hours of study to become an expert in their field - in Japan, they take that number and multiply it by six.

Takumi - the highest level of artisan in Japan - is explored by a series of character-driven portraits in the film. Lasting 60,000 hours in total (the time it takes for a Takumi to refine their skill) the medium is also the message.

It follows four Japanese craftsmen and women who are masters of their craft, including a Michelin-starred chef, a traditional paper-cutting artist, an automotive craftsman who works for Lexus and a carpenter for one of the oldest construction companies in the world.

If you like slow TV or the BBC4 'Made' series it's suprising engaging, but I've only watch about 10 mins from a section I'll get to when I'm about 80 so no spoilers pls.

It's quite slickly presented actually, you can hold the spacebar and it ffwds through 1000s of hours in a cinematic way rather than a normal ffwd.

Not often you get a play position indicator that looks like this!

You'd think you've almost finished watching the video and then you realise there are still 5000 hours left!

A lot of it loops to emphasis the repetition, so it's not 60,000hrs of unique footage, it's an interesting piece of work though.

My initial reaction was that an eight-year-old would love to play with that, but then I thought an eight-year-old would probably break it!

If you haven't watched HAPPY yet, it's on Netflix & well worth the watch! Do not stick it on if your kids are around.

This documentary about Andy Murray is well worth watching if you have interest in any sport or industry where people are operating at the top. I am not much of a tennis fan but I thought it was a fantastic insight into what it takes to be at the top both physically and mentally and what happens when that dream is taken away. A lot of what is in it can be applied to non-tennis endeavors, even trading:

It is available on Amazon Video and is included in your Amazon Prime membership:

As a tennis trader, I can't estimate how much I learned from tennis players from a psychological perspective. The mental side of the game of tennis is the closest a professional sport can get to high performance trading.

For e.g., you can find a huge difference talking about emotions, thinking style, habits and so on with a tennis pro player vs a football pro player. Both professional athletes, but completely different mental structures and pattern behaviours.

At the end of the day, tennis players are completely alone with their thoughts/fears on the court and no one will save them. It's the same for a professional trader every day, no matter how much help you get, it's always you and your mind on the line after all.
