The video "inspired bicycles" was quite inspirational in my opinion. Danny McCaskill could not ride a bike but he went from not knowing how, to being better then almost everyone in the world. I do not think it is inspirational in the sence that I want to go ride my bike on walls, instead I want to really improve upon something I enjoy. Danny does some amazing things in the video that would never have happened if he hadn't learned to ride a bike. This is true in everything, from school and jobs to sports. If your not willing ot take that first step, you will never achive anything in life.

When I watch the "Inspired Bicycles" I couldn't think about the tricks themselves all I could think about was the risk in each and everyone of them. Each one of those of trick must have been done many times before he landed it perfectly. He must have gotten hurt time and time again but he got back on that bike and did it all again. That is what really inspired me, the fact that he got back on that bike. I don't think I would have to will power to that as many times as he did. Everyone says that you just have to get back on the horse but it is not just a saying it is something that is really hard to do and takes a lot of self trust. The way this man trusts himself and keeps going really inspires me.

The video "Inspired Bicycles" was very nice because he never stop trying and he just kept going. I can relate to Danny McCaskill because it took me a long time to ride a bike but I kept trying until I finally got it and I kept on going. Danny McCaskill made me want to be successful in what I want to do and also made me never stop trying until I get there. He inspired me to try harder and harder everyday and never give up on what I want to achieve on.

This presentation relates to the real world because McCaskill kept trying even when he crashed. This relates to my academic endeavors because it shows that even when you fail (aka. Missing assignment, late test, ect.) you can get back up and do it again. He made me look twice and it motivated me because he caught my attention.

This biking video did indeed make me look twice. It relates to the world by failure, in school sometimes we fail or don't do very well on something. Just because that happens doesn't mean that you quite and stop trying. No you get back up and try again until you succeed, like McCaskill failed many times before he succeeded. He didn't quite which is the main reason. He got back up and kept trying until he succeeded.

The biking video reminds of a quote Muhammad Ali once said, "I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.". This is exactly what this guy did. He had no idea how to do tricks on a bike, but now he is amazing. Nobody wakes up in the morning and does tricks on bike like a pro. It takes patience and time, but most of all when you get knocked down you got to get right back up.

Danny McCaskill Inspired Bicycles presentation relates to my life when I fail at something. Even when I feel like giving up I get right back on my feet and try again. Like McCaskill. At the very beginning of the video he kept falling off that fence. But he tried and tried again until he succeeded. He inspired and motivated me to keep this up.

The inspired Bicycle video really made me look twice. It showed me that everyone starts as a beginner, and has to learn how to do amazing things like in the video. It also really inspired me when he fell off the bike and then got right back on. Showing the dedication he had to biking. No wonder this video has so many views on Youtube. This video was inspiring and definitely made me look twice.

The video "Inspired bicycles made we realize that you can become really good at something if you put your time into it and don't give up when things aren't going your way. When you fall down you have to get back up, and try again. at the beginning Danny McCaskill kept falling on that one trick. After numerous tries he finally succeeded. The rest of the video was about what great talent he received after all of his time practicing. I cannot imagine how many times he has fallen trying to do a trick, but he never gave up. And that is how we should view everything. Even when you can't do something, whatever it is, you can always succeed if you put time and passion into it.

The video "Inspired Bicycles" was inspirational to me in the sense that Danny McCaskill shows that is you put a lot of effort into something you will succeed. I thought he showed this in a good ways by showing his own personal screw ups at the beginning. It relates to the world because every day everyone fails at something, but you just need to get back up and keep putting in the effort and eventually it will come. I think this is definitely true in school when you get a bad grade or don't understand something.

This video called "Inspired Bicycles"is a inspiration and example of what dedication and hard work gets a person to. For someone to perfect a skill that's not given by birth is truly inspiring. I will certainly watch this video again when I need to overcome something.

The Video "Inspired Bicycles" made me think that if you want to be good at something you have to practice at it, a lot. He can do things most humans cant which makes it even cooler. This video showed me that if you try at something and keep at it you can obtain it. He motivated me to do better at soccer and try me hardest.

After watching the video I felt very motivated by him because he showed that you can really do anything you set your mind to. He did a lot of crazy cool tricks that took a lot of time and energy to do. It showed that spending time doing what you love will always pay off. I our world many people don't have that kind of passion about something and it is something needed to live a happy life.

Before we watched the video, "Inspired Bicycles", you (Mr. Trotter) said to look for things in the video that may be completely unrelated to you, but can still arouse inspiration. I took this into consideration as I was watching the video and surprisingly, since I have no extraordinary skills as a bicyclist, got inspired. I wasn't most impressed by the stunts themselves as much as the creativity that Danny McCaskill had to have in order to come up with the stunts. He used his surroundings to the fullest and was able to do amazing tricks by utilizing everyday things that most people would just pass by without a second though. The thought of how much ingenuity you have to have in order to look at some stairs and a ledge and visualize all the tricks you could do with only that. I am inspired to be resourceful of my surroundings in order to make something out of nothing and I'll definitely try to have that mindset with everything I do from now on.

Danny McCaskill’s Inspired Bicycles presentation relates to my world because he works for what he wants to achieve. It was shown a few times throughout the video that he fell or did not flourish instantly however, he kept trying and eventually conquered what he wanted to. At one point in his life, he didn’t know how to ride a bike and now, is able to accomplish things that majority of the world will never be able to do. His work ethic can connect to my academic habits because McCaskill achieves his goals by works for what he wants. There was times when he didn't immediately succeed but yet, got back up and tried again. This presentation inspired me to work harder and put more effort into my school work and other activities.

"Inspired Bicycles" was very inspirational. Its amazing to think that he taught himself and that when he was little he didn't know how to ride a bike but now he is amazing at it. It is really cool to think that if you set a goal you can accomplish it if you work at it. I obviously am not the bike riding type but it works with all different things. It could motivate me in school, dance, my goals to get in the medical field, it shows if you set your mind to something it can happen. I like how it shows when he falls he can just get back up and try again.

The video "inspired bicycles" actually inspired me quite a bit. I couldnt believe all of the tricks he did.All of these tricks he was doing were crazy and they honestly looked impossible. This inspired me because that made me feel like I could do something crazy that nobody thought I could do as long as I try. All of the things he was doing were making me look twice and thats what I want to do. That video really connected with my heart and i bet you I watch it a few more times.

When I watched "Inspired Bicycles" it felt very inspirational. The fact that he never knew how to ride a bike to riding on a fence was really amazing. Knowing that I could potential do something like that it with practice inspired me to not give up on something and challenge myself.

The "inspired bicycles" was a very interesting story that at the begining showed that an individual has worked really hard and put in the time and it has payed off. Aswel there were different bikes showing that he probably has broken his body parts. But through all these injuries he has pushed through doing what he loves.Lastly it really teaches me to work on the small stuff because it helps you in the long run and it pays off and it feels good.

The bicycle video inspired me bid time. It showed me that with a little bit of practice anything can happen. It made me think that I can do anything, that everyone and do anything. I don't think many people can do that. I know I could never do that. I think the message of the video is practice makes perfect and never give up.

What he does is truly amazing and very interesting. He made me look three times the third just to make sure it was believable and it motivated me to do that.

The video we watched was very inspiring in my opinion. First off he was able to do some amazing tricks on a regular bike that most people in the world can't do. To be able to perfect each of these tricks he must of spent hours and hours at a time. He also obviously loves doing it. Most people do something for money, or because they have too. Why not do something because you love it? He loves what he does and he is very good at it. He also shows creativity in each "trick" he does. He most likely invented many of those "tricks". He also shows how you can never be good at something unless you spend thousands of hours perfecting it. Most kids in school say they are bad at math or english, and they are right. This is because they spend very little time at it. You can only be good at something if you spend hours doing it , and do it the right way. They moral of the video is, in my opinion, do what you love, and the only way you can be good at it is spending hours perfecting it.
