I am inspired. I am insired because of a way Mr.trotter said something in class. "This can relate to life." I think it does. You break a bone you heal. You fall you get back up. You trip, simply recover.

This video was pretty inspiring to me. It showed me that you can't quit something if you ever expect to be any good at it. It also showed me that there is no limit to how good you can be at something. If you're dedicated, you can only get better.

The Danny McCaskill inspired Bicycles presentation relates to my athletics world and reaching my goals. The video started out with him struggling to complete this trick and finally persevering through and completing his difficult task. This reminds me of persevering through volleyball tryouts and making the team! This connects with my academics to strive for straight A's coming into my freshman year because this year it really counts. His unbelievable tricks really made me take a double take and inspired me to believe that the sky is the limit!

Danny McCaskill's "Inspired Bicycles" presentation was an interesting video, and made me think about my life. If you work hard you can accomplish anything you want. It makes me want to work harder at my goals, both academic and athletic. There are no limits to how good you can be at something, so work hard and be the best at whatever you do.

Danny McCaskill's "Inspired Bicycles" video is very inspiring to me. It showed me that even when something is difficult you can't give up. You should keep trying until you achieve your goal. In the beginning of the video it shows him making mistakes while trying to do a trick. Even though he fails a couple times he keeps attempting until he succeeds. This inspires me to keep trying even if I don't get it right the first time.

As I watched Danny McCaskill’s Inspired Bicycles video, I was very inspired by the passion and talent that he put into his sport, if you will. I compared it to life in some ways. Basically, every single person has a talent, but it’s their choice to utilize it or not. There will be challenges by and by, but we will learn from the failures and try again until we get it right. Like when he was attempting to bike along the top of the tiny black metal fence. I could see that it took a couple tries for him to finally succeed. But the point is that he did, and so will everyone who attempts to succeed in whatever it is that they love. This video could be interpreted in so many different different ways, perseverance is the word that pretty much sums it all up.

The Danny McCaskill “Inspired Bicycles” video made me think about my short high school career. It showed me that everyone is a rookie at one point and all you have to do is keep working hard and you can be a pro at anything you want to be. He motivated me to keep up with all my academics and by the time I am a senior I will be a lot easier hopefully. It also showed me that it takes mistakes to succeed in life, so I can not just quit whenever it gets hard. I have to keep on trying no matter what the challenge is.

Danny McCaskill Inspired Bicycles presentation did relate to my world. He never did fail, he kept on trying until he succeed. He only would have failed if he quit. Danny McCaskill took leaps of faith, knowing he could get hurt, get back up, dust his shoulders off, and do it again or happen to succeed the first time. Even though he did succeed he did it again. He can relate to my academic endeavors because if I get a bad grade on an assignment, I can study harder, ask question, come in for help and get better grades on different assignments so my overall grade can get higher. Danny McCaskill inspired me to not be afraid of leaps of faith and continue to try and try after attempts and be a better me.

I was inspired by this video because of how good he was. The only way anyone could ever get that good is by years of practice and never giving up. I'm sure when he first started he messed up all the time because no one just wakes up and they're a pro at whatever they want to do. But he didn't let his discouragements get to him and now hes really good.

I believe that Danny Macaskill is a inspiration because he has done so much stuff that people would look at and say its impossible to do that on a bike. I have meet Danny MaCaskill up in Winter Park on a chair lift. I have never seen this video of him but I have seen others that are newer. I think it would be fun for him to teach all of his skills to people that are bikers.

The Danny McCaskill inspired Bicycles video is an inspiration because in the beginning he was not the best at it but he kept trying to become better. At the end he becomes good at it because he did not give up. This relates to me and playing basketball. Also on trying to get on honor roll. It tells you how not to give up.

The video was very inspiring. Riding and doing stunts on a bicycle is quite an ordinary, yet extraordinary talent. I have learned that talent is not something one is born with, but a skill one can only learn to perfect. We are born with interests, and can better ourselves in certain areas by practice. This video personally applies to my life academically, in writing and math. Over the years, I have seen my writing improve, while I had first started with much less knowledge than I possess now. By working through different problems and finding new solutions in math, participating in labs, and writing papers, I have seen myself advance in these areas. Getting a good education isn’t achieved in one day, or even one year. Half of our life is spent learning, and gaining knowledge. Every skill takes practice, and when one sets their mind on something, anything is possible, as the bicyclist demonstrated in the video.

I think that he shows if you have a goal you can do it if you work for it. To me this shows that if their is something you want go after it and you will succeed.

This relates to my world because I am currently am playing football and I need to work harder and harder everyday to get better and give my best. He did motivate me about how dangerous the stunts and he made it look easy. This video made me think on how I do things and that I need to put in blood, sweat, and tears to achieve a goal.

This video can relate to everyone's life. No matter who you are you have a goal you want to accomplish. This video showed how one person really wanted to do something and even after he failed a few times he kept trying and reached his goal. Since he never gave up he found he has an amazing talent. He has inspired me to try my best at everything I do and taught me that there is no limit to what I can achieve.

This video relates to my world because at the begging of the video it shows how he was messing up but was still trying. That is like when you don't get it at first and you keep on trying and then you finally get it. After that it shows how good he was at all of his trick and that he succeed. Thats show what you can do when you don't give up.

Danny McCaskill's "Inspired Bicycles" video was in inspiration to me because even though he couldn't land his tricks at first, eventually he had mastered them and even learned a great deal of other tricks. This relates to me in ways such as, sports and academics. In the sports that I play, I have to work hard for the skills that I need to achieve. The same goes for academics but instead of being on the field it'll be on a test or maybe even just a quiz.

This video was really inspiring. It shows me that working hard and pushing yourself can get you to where you want to be in life. I want to push my education and try my hardest to get A's and B's.

I think Danny McCaskill was very inspiring. He really made you think twice about whether he would make that jump or not. He defiantly inspired me to keep on going. No matter how many times you try, you just got to get up and try and try again. This relates to my world because he tries as hard as he can to make it the first time, so do I. This is an amazing video that will help me keep on working hard.

This relates to my world because there are lots of people that want to do cool stuff, so they try it and realize that they are good at stuff they do. His new exploits do not really connect with my academic endeavors because so far nothing crazy has happened. He definitely made me look twice. At the start of the video, he was just constantly failing, but getting back up, and by the time the video was over and seeing all of the cool things that he could do, made me think of what I could do with that kind of determination.

The Inspired Bicycles video really inspired me. Danny McCaskill showed that things in life may be hard to accomplish but not giving up will help you finish it strong. Also to reach a goal it may not be easy but it will defiantly be worth it.

The Danny McCaskill Inspired Bicycles presentation relates to my world because whenever I find something that is challenging in my life, I get to the point where in my mind I want to give up. Everyone has done that before and some people do give up. But with myself I try to give it another chance. Just like how he couldn't perfect his trick the first couple of times, he seemed very disappointed in himself. This can connect to academics because often times you will find new topics that you have to learn about. You may not want to but you have to, and it can be difficult. But if you work hard enough you can succeed. He did inspire and motivate me because it showed that no matter how bad things get you can always get back up on your feet and show people that you can do what you want in life.
