I think the video meant to show us that we can do anything we want even if we have no help or experience. The guy in the video started out not knowing how to even ride a bike and yet he was able to work hard enough to become an amazing biker. This shows us that we can do anything we set our minds to do.

The "Inspired" video made me think about the things I already do and that I just need to keep practicing at what I do to achieve my dreams. I loved the fact that this guy had no prior knowledge to riding a bike and then one day he decided that he wants to try it. And now that he has done so many amazing tricks it makes me feel like if I take the next step I can be as successful as he is. Which of course I would love to achieve success.

I think the Inspired video was amazing. Any person willing to work that hard for something he had never tried before, I think is a good motivation for others. What could I be good at that I havent tried before? One question for all of you reading this what brand of bike was he using? My bike would shatter on those types of landings.

To me this video meant a lot because like you said, at one point he didn't know hwo to ride a bike, ad here he is doing the most amazing things in the world. This is kind of like the saying, "You can do anything you set your mind to." It's truly amazing what we can do when we don't give up, and this video shows that.

The video that you should us in class was really cool. It showed me how if you work hard you will be rewarded. This relates to my school work because if i try my hardest then i will not get bad grades. I will get into a better collage and it might help me get a good paying job. The way it motivated me was by, when you fall down you should get back up and try again.

i thought that the biker in the "inspired" video was a legit example of how to set goals and how to try and work your hardest to reach a certain goal.

The "inspired" video really made me think about how somthing in life can happen if you work really hard, as we talked about in class is that at some point that guy couldn't ride a bike and now look at him, he has "inspired" many people to get out there and do all that you can do

The video "Inspired Bicycles" definitely made me look twice. To know this person had no experience and became so amazing at biking was an inspiration. It made me ponder the cliches "you can do anything if you put your mind to it" and "never give up." After seeing that video, I do belive in those two cliches.

The short clip "Inspired Bicycles" really impressed me. Knowing that this person, at one point in his life didn't even know how to ride a bike and is now doing all these cool tricks and stuff. WOW. I know believe that I can do anything if I put my mind to it and never give up because it is possible. It was also a very motaviting video, and made me want to try it to. All in all, I really liked this video!

I believe that this video is telling us that we can do anything if we set our minds to it. The man in that video didn’t even know how to ride his bike, but he believed in himself and wanted to become an amazing rider, so he did it. That is what this video is trying to tell us.

I think that that video relates to our lives in the way that we all have our our field of expertise and that we all have to stare at some time.

i think the blog was about how if you want to get really good at somthing then you have to start somwhere and you have to keep working at it.

I think that this vidio means even though there are others better than us at things. We can still practice them and mabe with enogh practice we can be better than them

The video “inspired” was awesome! It really showed me that I can do what ever I really want in life as long as I want it enough. But seriously did anyone think about how many times this guy had to wipe out!!! How many broken bones he must have gotten from all these sick tricks. So it just goes to show that when you put your mind to something you can accomplish anything.

This movie was very inspiring because it showed everyone that if you want to accomplish something, and you set your mind to it, anything is possible. In his case, he set his mind toward biking and now he has 9 million hits on Youtube.

Madisonw said...

The inspired video was so amazing! Its hard to believe that at one point this man didnt even know how to ride a bike! It showed me that anything is possible if you put your mind to it and not give up.

Sharon S. said...

I believe the video inspired me that if you work at something then you can achieve it. This video motivates me that maybe taking the time to do something ends up being worth something in the end. Also watching this video made me think twice about trying just to easy by and barley pass every year and make something of myself.

Allie Sutterer said...

This video is very inspiring because it shows us that we can do anything we set our minds to. Even if you don't care to become really good at riding a bike we can still learn from this video. This guy didn't even know how to ride a bike before but he decided he anted to be good and he became amazing. Everyone wants to be good at something and this video teaches us that we can do it.

The "inspired" video made me think about exceeding a goal and then making it a more complicated goal after and build it up from there. This is a perfect example of reaching a goal but improving as you go on.

"Inspired Bicycles" really opened my eyes to what people can do. It relates to my world with perserverence. Not giving up is something i believe in, and this video proves that it pays off. It makes me look twice about what people are able to achieve. I never thought someone would be able to rife their bike up a tree. I was awestruck by what this man did, and it proves that anyone can do anything we set our minds to.

The inspired bicycles movie to me means that everyone starts at the bottom. The biker guy started out on training wheels and practiced. Eventually he made it to the top.

Tyrell said...

This video would make a person think about how infinite the possibilities in life are. From learning how to even ride a bicycle to being able to do the complex tricks that the man in the video can do is really crazy because the man didn't just wake up one day and start doing tricks. Being able to do such things would take lots of time and mistakes and at times even pain. This video is a great way to motivate and relate to people.

The bike video showed me that anything is possible. Even the guy in the video started out sometime, once apon the time he had to be taught how to ride a bike. I think that that is kindof like us, we are all still learning, and one day everyone could be greet.

I absolutely loved the "Inspired" video, it showed me that if you really love something, but if you set your mind to it that you can do it. This shows us to challenge ourselves and to persevere.

I thought that the clip was really cool. In the beginning when he was working so hard to ride across the fence and eventually he succeeded. It shows you that hard work can pay off.
