Danny McCaskill Way Back Home presentation really relates to the world because as a teenager everyone want to be on their own and have no rules. But the guy in the video did that and traveled and played on his bike and then eventually came home where he started. It motivated me that what ever I do in my life their is always home to lay back on. It inspired me to try hard and one day my dream will come true.

McCaskill's presentation makes me want to work harder at something I love and something I'm good at. I think his harder work can connect to my hard work in academic, and that when he falls down its okay because I have falls in academics too. The video inspired me to break away from something I do for other people, and do something for myself, something that I'd love doing for me.
The Danny McCaskill Way Back Home Presentation relates to my world because it really pushes how important it is to take advantage of our talents. Or, if I'm not good at particular things, but I enjoy doing them, it really urges me to keep trying until I'm advanced. This can relate to my academics because I've realized that classes are much more enjoyable when you know and understand the material. Math is my weakest subject, yet I enjoy it, so I keep pushing for perfect even though I never am. It makes the class more tolerable.
McCaskills video wants me to try a lot harder in the activities I am truly passionate about. I love football like Danny loves biking. I want to excell in football just like Danny has excelled throughout his career. This video just makes me want to work harder in not only sports but life too.

The Danny McCaskill Way Back Home presentation relates to my world because I have gotten good at things that I have practiced. This can connect with my academics because I try very hard to do well in school. he motivated me to try hard when I do things and not just be lazy.
Danny McCaskills video shows how a dream can come true if you work hard enough. It motivated me to put everything I have in my passion in life. The video showed how much passion and how much you have to be determined to get anywhere. If you love something that makes you happy, putting your all into it pays off.
Danny McCackill's video, Way Back Home really makes me want to find something I'm truly passionate about and pursue it! As a teenager I'm constantly faced with the challenge of figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. McCackill inspires me to find something I love and to do it.

Danny McCaskill's Way Back Home video,is similar to how i try to acheive my goals. I mean we didn't learn how to walk to the minute we were born, we have to practice and experience and through that we learn and achieve our goals. I have many goals, for example getting all A's and getting into a higher club level in volleyball. If I dont even try it won't happen. This video really inspired me to try harder at acheiveing my goals, and I'm pretty sure McCaskill didn't get on a bike and perfectly jump off buildings. He failed at first and by failing he succeeded, which is how every goal is achieved.
Danny McCaskill's video is in a way the way I wish I could be. It truly inspired me to get up and do what I want to do. Imagine all of those crazy things he could do with that BMX bike. He could jump off buildings, go backwards, do crazy flips, land most of the time, and he has amazing balance. Now image all of the months of practice it took him to be able to do those tricks and accomplish those feats. You can't just start something and expect to be good at it. He probably felt like quitting a lot when things got hard, but he didn't and now look where he is. I hope that I can be like him in accomplishing feats. I will try to stick to everything until I get it and try my hardest. If I try my hardest in life, I can be successful. If everybody tries there hardest and doesn't quit, we can all be successful.
Danny McCaskill is a very empowering person. What he does makes everything look possible. He inspires me to do what I love, to do what makes me happy. The things that Danny does are unspeakable; how many people have a talent as outstanding and impossible as that one? How many people can get on a bike and jump from building to building? Danny makes me want to pursue my dreams and try hard at every thing I do.
Danny McCaskill's video on the surface doesn't seem to apply to school, but in a deep context, it does. When looking at school it is easy to look how hard,simple, or even boring life is. The difficult thing to do is to is just do it. He got out there and just kept going. Not only that but he didn't lose where he came from. If we lose that, will will lose ourselves. The only way he got there was getting out of his shell, and found his talent. We all have talent, just it can be hidden. Throughout life we build ourselves. With changes, hardships, and new beginnings we will make it.
Danny's presentation relates to everything. It shows that it you work at something and try your hardest you will be able to achieve something great. It doesn't have to be an extreme sport like Danny but if you apply that mentality to school work you can learn a lot more. He inspires me to try harder and achieve something amazing like he did.
The Danny McCaskill Way Back Home relates to my world because I have to focus on something so that I can achieve it. He has to work hard in order for him to get to where he wants to go on the bike just like we have to work hard to get to where we want to go in life. He shows us that if you set your mind to it you will be able to achieve it if you really want to. He was really skilled on the bike which makes me want to be really good at something in my life.
Danny McCaskill Way Back Home relates to my world because he is someone that worked hard at a dream and became the best at his sport. Danny’s focus and determination paid off in his career and love of biking just like it can pay off for me in my academics and life. He made me not look away with his amazing talents. He inspired to chase my dreams and never give up on them.
the danny mcCaskill way back home presentation was very inspiring because it shows if you work hard at something you might end up being really great at it and it shows how you can do anything if you just put your mind to it
Dan Mccaskill shows that if you want something then you can have it. and you just have to follow your dreams.
To me this video represents that if you want something then you can achieve it. Alot of people say you cant do it, but believe in yourself and you can. Put your mind to it work hard and you will accomplish greatness.
It relates in that if I can focus on one struggle or something that I would wish to improve on then I can become the best I can on it. McCaskill did make me look twice and inspired me that I can become good at almost anything if I have the drive to do so.
(thought you still might want to look at it if it's late)
The first time i saw his first video we watched, I was absolutely amazed. I think every one of his videos i watch inspires everyone in different ways. I was inspired once again because of this guys amazing talent and ability to become one with the bike... to do what he sets out to do with determination. If i applied the same amount of effort to my academics i bet i would also do such great things with all the potential i have! Danny McCaskill really sets an exapmple of what pure hard work does to a person who wants to achieve thier goals. Say if you really enjoyed a hobby, sport, activity, etc. and you wanted to become really exceptional at that one thing, you would work hard to achieve the success you desparately want! The same should apply to academics. If you want As and Bs bad enough, you should work hard to achieve them. Nothing ever gets accomplished without hard work.
Danny McCaskill inspired me by trying 100% in everything I do and mabey someday it will take me far. I believe that this video will push kids to be the best they can be at anything they do and will succeed. Its really neat to see how one guy can start off in a small place and come out to be the best.

Danny McCaskill really inspired me and made me think that if I try to my fullest at everything I do maybe someday it will get me somewhere. I believe if kids watch this video it will push them to not only try but to believe in them selves. Its amazing how one guy starts from scratch and just builds his skill until hes the best at what he does.
McCaskill's presentation shows that you should fallow your dreams but you have to work hard to get there. It makes think that i can do anything i want to as long as i think i can. He did the coolest things on his bike but he didn't just wake up one day and know how he had to work at and try his hardest. Being a teenager i have faced hard things in life but this video is inspiring that i can do it i can get through it.
This video made think of the other video that we wathed last semester and what event in his life inspired him to do these awesome tricks. I was motivated by this because I know he did this video to motivate others that if you put your mind to it you can do anything.
Danny McCaskill's performance is very inspiring. It makes me want to work harder for something I might really want. The video inspires you and shows you someone who just wanted to BMX ride and thats exactly what he did. He was tired of his boring life and so he just made the decision to do what he wanted. He is a very brave.
The Danny McCaskill way back home presentation makes me think that no matter how far away we move and how distant we get from our family and home we should always remember were we all "started" and when we look back see how great of improvements we have all made to our lives ever since our earliest memories as children.
After watching the video by Danny McCaskill it has made me think that as kids now we might think that we don't have that much to us or that much potential but if we keep at things like academics we will find that we will become great at what we do sorta like how "Danny" kept at biking and when he went back home he might have realized that what he started as a kid has become something great

The guy in the video, Danny McCaskill shows that everyone has a talent and that they need lots of practice to achieve. it shows no matter wear it is you can find what you like, and you can do it anywhere. it helps motivate me to show no matter how far you get on something you have 2 find your way home where you started.
what the video that we watched showed me was that if you try and try that you can accomplish. no matter how far you get you cant keep pushing on until you remember where you came from. it shows everyone comes from somewhere. you must preside to get anywhere to prove yourself to the world.
The Danny McCaskill Way Back Home Video was very inspiring. He traveled on his bike and did what he loved. This might have been because he might have been bored with his life and decided it wasn't worth it to keep wasting time. It inspires me to get up and do something I love and not waste any more time. He really inspired me to try hard everyday.
