The dude in the chair doesn't need ultra low friction ball bearings in the chair rotating shaft, nor does he need a nicer $$ chair with a higher back or more support, nor does he need a 30" computer display.

He just needs to spend his $$ on more seat time.

Another question to ask is, Is he taking full advantage of the area under the curve?

This chair twirling thing is 10,000 times more expensive than F1

I wonder if some of Gary's T1/AP rotors would help since they have a lower moment of inertia
