I'll reiterate that, I've recently spent a couple of months with Troy Newman, 
preparing for the team trials and he is out every day and where I might fly 
3-4 times he will fly 6-10 times on each of two airplanes 4-8 hours at the 
field almost every day, wore me out just watching.  So when you watch these guys 
fly and wish you could fly like that, remember "THEY EARNED IT".  I'm sure most 
of us don't have the talent to fly at that level, but most of us also don't 
work at it as hard either.  Another thing I noticed, as Eric pointed out, these 
guys "seek out" input on how their flying is viewed and they seek it out from 
any available source.  

Good luck guys
