Train Drivers Foot

[bernhart_lossiemouth]

I was searching through some old train magazines the other day, and I came across an article about the problems train drivers get with their feet when swapping pedals

. Here it is:

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain!

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are stupid......) and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction. And there's nothing you can do about it!

Strange isnt it.
Answers please

Haha yea we were doing that in school awile ago, But insted you spin your right foot clockwise and your left hand anti-clockwise and it does the same thing.

I can do it, but only slowly, but I play the piano and play a lot of poly rhythms so this probably helps. There's nothing like a good 2 against 3 or 3 against 4 beats in a measure to make your brain split in half. Add to this hands crossing over at the same time and you'll become a master juggler.
