i got 0.198 avg.

i don't play many games anymore but for a spell i played a "twitch" game Medal of Honor online. People were always pretty impressed with a 30+ year old being so good, especially considering i use a trackball and not a mouse. i always gave credit to the Atari 2600.

Anyways, i think a faster reaction time helps with finesse technical riding, and reaction when you're sketching and about to crash.

My average was a .271, nothing to brag about at all.

You know what, I don't think reaction time is all that important in MTBing. I have a really slow reaction time, yet somehow I do really well in MTB racing of all sorts, especially downhill. There's no substitute for experience, confidence or focus. Or just being plain crazy!
