Video Of Eyes Moving While Riding

Interesting stuff Dylan, thanks for doing this. The minute quick shifts in eye movements are wild and quite telling!

This rider does not appear to blink very often, I wonder if the rate of blinking changes when riding compared to just sitting around? I have wondered that before, since I notice that when I am trying to ride fast I don't blink as much as normal and my eyes tend to feel dry afterwards - but I don't have that issue when riding at a more relaxed pace. Not sure if that is a just a concentration thing or if it is a negative thing, and indication that I am "trying too hard"; it seems like it happens more when I am "trying to go fast" and working on something, instead of when I am ACTUALLY going fast for fun or while racing.

I have other videos of people riding and they have more blinks and eye movements.

I've read that riders under intense situations (racing) can go an entire lap without blinking. This one blinks 3 times. I haven't paid attention during the trackday, but do know that after a trackday I do have a little irritation going on. I've experienced severely dry eyes just playing the Moto GP '13 videogame. Winning a season on a CRT with tire wear is insanely difficult, and even on the game I'm a point to point rider. I have to turn off the ceiling fan when I'm playing. I wouldn't say it's a negative in any way, just extremely focused. Something worth paying a bit more attention to one trackday.
