• this kind of stuff just amazes me, i really dont understand how people can be this good on bikes. the balance, control, and the confidence is somthing ill never be capable of.

    It's to do with how the neocortex processes external information. On the simplest level you should just understand that the brain doesn't really know where you end and the external world begins. What this means is that the bicycle (from the brain's perspective) is literally an extension of the body. Once you understand that, you can push things further than most people would intuitively want to... it's not intuitive that your brain has incorporated the bicycle into your physical being, so it's not intuitive to push beyond a natural point.
