Danny McKaskill's video really insipired me to stick with things and don't give up because he couldn't just start something and be that good at something without messing up or failure because you can always learn from your mistakes and if you just give up after failing one time you will never get better at something you could excel at.

This video inspired me because someday I want to be an environmentalist. I would do anything to save an animal. If there is an animal in need I will risk my life to save it. When I graduate I plan to join Sea Shepherd and risk my life on board the boat of my dreams The Steve Irwin, The Bob Barker, or the Gojera. I will change the world for animals.

I am definetly not the best at anything in the world right now. But someday... I wish I could be the best at something. Possibly engineering. That is the career path that hope to pursue. And if I could be the best at that then I could do so many cool things.

The video we saw about the biker was very inspiring. After i saw that I just wanted to go outside and practice the longest and hardest I've ever done. That's probably one of the most amazing and inspiring things things i have ever sen in my life.

Danny McCaskill can connect with the world because he proves that even though at one point he couldn't ride a bike he had a passion to do something and he went to do it. Its like somebody who wants to be a surgeon. At one point you don't know how to do surgery you can learn how to do it if you want to. After watching this I can say that I'm inspired because everyone says that they can't do something, there just not trying but if they could they can accomplish there goals. It did connect with my academics too because I'm going to practice to do something I know I can't do now, but in a few yeas or in a lot of years I will know that I can at least try and do something that I want to do.

It really speaks to me in a way that, you start your life with no experiences in a ton of things. It just goes to show that if you put you mind and body into something, you can accomplish it, but first you have to take some risks. It inspired me in the way that you can accomplish a lot, and even if you wont be the best, you can still accomplish a lot.

This is a very inspiring film to think that that person couldn't even ride a bike what he was a little boy! He proves that if you work hard, and you want it, you will sucseed! I bet wo work up the skills he could do took a lot of time, practice, and probably a little gift from god. It makes me want to only get out there and archive my dreams in the same way. This video without words, captures the ability and the passion to follow your dreams.

This video has inspired me to persevere in anything that comes to my mind, as Mr Trotter had explained, this man once never had riding a bike in his life, but he too the talent and made it into something AMAZING, I'm really inspired by this video it has made me rethink a lot of things I have recently thought to quit. For me this video relates to my skateboarding. I started skating when I was 4 years old. Earlier than most people, I started to excel due to my brothers and sister support and interest. My parents helped my excel as well but i had recently gotten sponsored so I could support my self

This video taught me that you have to be persistent in no matter what you want to accomplish. At the beginning of the video Danny didn't even know how to right a bike but he went after his goal and didn't give up. With grades when I feel like giving up I need to be persistent and keep trying. And with every goal I have in my life I will never give up.

This video really inspired me. It made me look at him and think that he had to start off just like the rest of us one pedal at a time; and now he is the best at what he does. This shows that you can accomplish anything if you apply yourself.

First I have to say Danny McKaskill is beast. Danny McKaskill really inspired me to keep with thing and never give up just because you don't get it the first time. Practice makes perfect and Danny McKaskill is a perfect example of that. If you fail you try try again until you get it. This inspired me to really start working on sports that I admire most.

This video was an inspiring video for many reasons. For one he never knew how to ride a bike at one point in his life but now he does some things that are almost against the laws of physics seemingly. This can inspire me by remembering that the people who are the greatest work the hardest. In this video he clearly had to of had an abundant amount of strength and would had to have spent a lot of time in the weight room pushing himself.

To think this man never knew how to ride a bike at one point is unbelievable for me. This inspired me because if one person can get that far in their proffesion, passion, whatever, then that proves to others that persuing your dreams pays off. This rlates to my worl because my mom was a pre-Olympic figure skater and even though she got cut off on the last stage, she still tried really hard and got really far. Just saying I couldn't be half the skater she is I tries, and failed.Terribly. I don't think that this clip really has anything to do with my academic endeavors though. I've seen many incredible doings the past few months so I wouldn't really bother to look twice and the only reaction I really had was a WOW for the period of the video nothing else really, but still he is really an incredible person to be able to do any of the things I saw today.

The Danny Mckaskill video was an inspiration for me. It showed me that no matter what you want to do, it can always be achieved through hard work, determination, and dedication. Someday I want to be a doctor, and now I know that if I work hard and never give up I can achieve my dreams. You don't start off being amazing and perfect at what you do, but you learn to be the best you can be by learning from your mistakes or failures.

Danny McCaskill did not not know how to ride a bike, now he obviously does. This relates to school and education because if a student is not that great at a certain subject then if he/she is determined they can get better at it. He inspired me to reach my gals even if it may be something you have never done before.

It did not seem that Danny knew how to ride a bike but after each clip his tricks got better and so did he. This video inspired me to become the best i could be at every thing that i do. He proved to me that it is possible to ride up a tree and do a back flip off of it on a bike.

I was really inspired by Danny McCaskill's video. If he failed he would try again until he accomplished his goal. He taught me to never give up! He was very persistent. It makes me want to not quit in school and athletics because I will get better.

this video really inspired me to do something, even if i'm afraid to fail. Danny had many chances to fall, and i'm sure he did off camera, but the point is that if you continue to try that you will eventually reach your goal. It also shows that people are capable of doing things that seem impossible, and are impossible, until you try them.

Mr Mckaskill's Video really reminded me of the time when I first started playing music; looking up to these extremely good drummers and thinking "How can I ever get that good." But, with lots of practice I've been able to get a lot closer than I've previously Imagined. This is not a thing done easily though, it took lots of work be he did make me think twice on that you can always realize your goals, you just have to put your mind to it

Danny McCaskill's video was inspirational video reminded me to not give up in anything you do. This relates to my academics by telling me even though something is difficult, doesn't mean you should give up. This video also showed me that if you are going to be great at something you have to start somewhere, and never give up.
