Ah, love this breakdown—biomechanics *and* the brain’s need for tactile feedback make so much sense! It’s fascinating how our nervous system relies on that split-second ground contact to "read" the landing, almost like a built-in sensor system. The "magical" feeling might just be our brain’s way of filling in the gaps when that feedback is missing—like a glitch in the system. You’ve got a great point: it’s both deeply physical *and* a testament to how our bodies are wired to learn through touch.
