The Danny McCaskill Inspired Bicycles relates to my world by knowing that I didn’t always know how to ride a bicycle. I know how to ride a bike, but I do not know how to do any daring stunts like Danny McCaskill can. It is amazing how Danny was persistent enough to learn how to ride a bike and dare himself to do this dangerous stunts that can possibly injure him. Danny’s new exploits can connect with my academic endeavors because to see how hard he has worked to do this would inspire me to want to work harder on doing something I want to be great at. He did make me look twice by making me think that anyone could do anything if they put their heart and mind to it. Danny did inspire and motivate me in several other ways. He has inspired me to want to be more persistent and passionate with the activity that I love. He has also motivated me that I could be or do anything I want as long as I have the passion and if I am willing to work harder for what I want.
The Danny McCaskill “Inspired Bicycles” video was relatable for me because I could relate to how he trained and practiced to do all of those crazy tricks. At one point he couldn’t ride a bike and now he’s doing all of these amazing tricks. When I was little, I didn’t know how to swim. I could barely do a doggie paddle. Eight years later, I’m swimming at Colorado State championships. The way he commits to biking and the way that I commit to swimming can also happen in writing. You can commit to your work and keep on improving it. His exploits can be connected to my academic endeavors because he teaches people that you can really do anything if you put your heart and mind to it. He inspired me to work a little harder everyday and to look at my mistakes and say, “Ok what can I do to make this better?”.
The video "Inspired Bicycles" by Danny McCaskill relates to my world how I work really hard at lacrosse and try a bunch of different things to get better and in the end it pays off. This was very inspirational because Danny McCaskill was a normal guy and became a very at doing bike tricks. This video relates to writing because when you write you have to plan stuff out like when your doing bike tricks and you also have to try a bunch of different things in writing like Danny McCaskill did in the video. Danny McCaskill's video relates to my academic's is you see what you did wrong the first time and do it right the second time, in the video Danny McCaskill learned from his mistakes like you do in school. This video defiantly made me look twice because it was so amazing and cool that someone could do that. I was very motivated after watching this video because Danny McCaskill was so good at what he did and made me think I could be better then I am now at lacrosse or anything. Overall this was a very great video and made me very motivated.
In the Danny McCaskill “Inspired bicycles” video, I could relate to the video because in the beginning of the video he falls after he gets onto the fence. He immediately got back up and continued to keep working and practicing to do better. McCaskill’s video really keep the audience hooked to the video. If you were to do the same thing into your writing it would convince the readers to keep reading and not get bored of it. McCaskill’s new exploits can connect with my academics by how hard he works to get to his point and how hard I work to study and do school work. McCaskill’s video did make me look twice about how if you put yourself, heart, mind and really believe, that you can accomplish anything. This video did motivate me on how much practice you need, believes in you and your talents. At some points in the video it looked like he could have serious injuries if he made the slightest mistake, but fortunately he was able to stick those stunts. This video should be shown to many people because it's such an inspiring video.
The Danny McCaskill "Inspired Bicycles" presentation relates to my world because it shows that success only comes through hard work and self confidence. My world has had many setbacks (just like when Danny fell of off the fence many times), but I have learned to get back up and keep trying. This video can also relate to my world because of the dedication he has towards success in what he loves. I know that nobody would be where they are today without a mindset similar to Danny's. Also, I can relate this video to writing because you can see the passion in his biking; the passion I strive to show in my writing. Also, I can relate this video to writing because of the motivating all around story that it told. First Danny fell down off of the fence, but kept trying, and ended up with success. Along the way though, he encountered rough times, in which you could see his mood/expressions after a long day. His "story" really drew me in, and left me wanting more, which is what I want my readers to feel after seeing my writing. His new exploits can connect with my academic endeavors because of the way he took in new discoveries, and also fixed things after he failed. This can connect to my learning; I can learn from the mistakes I make in school, and find different ways to solve the problems. This biker made me look at things twice, and not give up the first time. Danny McCaskill really did inspire me, and motivate me to never give up on attaining success through things I find great passion in. All I could say for my reaction is that I am very inspired, and I now feel like success can come from nothing, only if you put hard work into achieving it.
“Inspired Bicycles” by Danny McCaskill. A small flame to light the world. This man is the first i've seen to perform such amazing tricks. While watching his video, many thoughts were running through my head. I thought about how much time he must have had. All of these tricks could not be done by anyone in a day. I saw how he had rhythm and an even motion. While I watched, I reflected on some of the things I have taken time on. Even here as I type this, I think back to how learned how to type, and open a tab, and produce thoughts. Many people can do it so it doesn’t seem amazing, but if nobody were able to do this and one individual did, how amazed would the world be? This inspires me because I start to think “What if we can do exactly what Danny is doing, we just haven’t tried to”. My theory is we can do anything physically possible if we put time and effort into it. Then we start to ask ourselves what we want to do rather than what we “Can/can’t” do. The video “Inspired Bicycles” definitely inspired me to do more than I thought.
The video related to the real world because if you set your mind to something and really work hard for it you can accomplish your goals. While I was watching this in class it made me think of football and how when I was young I didn't really know much but now I have made great progress in knowledge and skill within this sport. It can connect to school work as well, because when you start you don't know much for example we didn't know our ABC's but now its memorized in our heads. This is a good metaphor for life set your mind to it and you can do it through hard work.
Danny McCaskill's "Inspired Bicycles" video astonished me. This video can relate to my life of being a lacrosse player. By investing time and hard work into something you love, it can be amazing. People are astonished by others skill but in reality we have talents that would amaze them back, and if we invest in these talents we can impress and inspire others to be great. This is the same for writing. If you invest in your writing and really care about it with a severe passion, you can do wonderful things with words. I am inspired to do my best and really be passionate about everything I do even if it is not enjoyable. His skills made me stare with my jaw dropped and eyes stuck wide open. I am motivated to make it my goal to impress people that way with lacrosse and every passion I enjoy. I want to be a role model for others and be someone to look up to. I hope that people see me as someone who always does their best and had perseverance as a motto for life.
The video "Inspired Bicycles" by Danny McCaskill amazed me, and reminded me that if you work hard at something, you can always progress. I am always progressing in Jiu-Jitsu because I work as hard as I can every time. I believe that if you work hard and always do your best, there is nothing you can't accomplish. So if you are active with writing and always finding new ways to improve your writing you will get better. It's all investment, if invest you invest you'r time, you're heart, and you're mind, you will always improve. This video inspired me just like anything else would, because it's a lot easier to improve when you can see that there is a level that you could reach.
I was inspired by the video "Inspired Bicycles" by Danny McCaskill because it proved that if you work hard at something, and you work on it often enough, then you can be successful. It also proved that striving for excellence cab take someone a long way. I'm a musician, and I do like to think I'm good at what I do and I work hard. I remember, the first time I ever tried to write a song. I was six, and I got so frustrated and I spent hours on it. I couldn't do it very well, and I had very little life experience, so it was about foolish things. I finished it, though, and to this day I still spend hours perfecting and rewriting an spending hours a day practicing what I can practice. The biker had a similar thing. In the beginning he was very inexperienced and didn't quite know what he was doing. But now he's done outstanding things that many people can't do. I can indeed relate McCaskill's video to writing, as I think I just did. I also write little fiction books. With much practice, I would strive not only to become an interesting writer, but also an inspirational writer. The biker in the video wanted to become good at doing things many would find dangerous, so he practiced until it was perfect. Academically, I realized that the video can be related. In school, I have a few subject I need to study hard in order to understand. If I sat in class and messed around all the time, I wouldn't learn very much. But because I like to think I'm good in class, I strive for excellence in academically, also. The thing is, everything takes practice. Even walking took practice for all of us. If we strive for excellence, we can improve and we can get better. Practice makes near perfect.
“Inspired Bicycles,” with Danny McCaskills made a very big impact on my world. The way that this video impacted me has to do with my soccer. In this video, he started life not even know how to ride a bike, and now he has grown into an AMAZING biker. he trained his whole life through trial and error, and overcame the hardships he had to go through to become that amazing biker like wanting to give p or injuries. This relates to my soccer life because I have been playing my whole life, and throughout all of the ups and downs, I have always felt like giving up. But i was able to push through the hard times. McCaskill definitely has gone through these hard times and he has definitely found the strenght to go on when he was feeling down. This video really inspired me even more to keep striving for my goals and never give up even when the road seems impossible.
"Inspired Bicycles" involving Danny McCaskills had many different thoughts running through my head. The beginning of the video I started to think about all the hard work and dedication that goes into what he does. We all have something special that we devote our time to but nothing like that. What Danny does only one in every thousand people can do most likely. Danny wasn't just born with the skill of doing bicycle tricks though. He worked for it. We all work for something like Danny does, it might not be as amazing what he does but we all have that one thing. Whether it is a sport,or school, or maybe even just trying to figure out life. The way Danny never gives up kinda relates to when we write something. We don't just write the first sentence that pops into your head, you write it down and rewrite it over and over until it is just write. This video totally inspired me. It makes me think about everything I have ever done and how hard I actually work at it. I mean do I work at it or just give up? I will take this video into account and always remember how dedicated Danny was and how amazing it helped him become, and I will try to apply that to my daily life.
The "Inspired Bicycles" story relates to my life because at one point in my life, I was not able to shoot a basketball just like how Danny McCaskill was not able to ride a bike. But as we got older and were able to physically mature we were both able to practice our craft and continue to get better. I don't make every single shot I take just like how Danny fails sometimes when he is performing tricks. but this does not stop us from continuing to get better and to work hard. The things he did in the video were really amazing and very risky in my perspective but I believe that as a writer, I can take risks just like Danny does in his videos. Some may think that the risk is a bad idea just like I may think for some of Danny's tricks, but what matters is if we learn from these risks and get better no matter if we fail or succeed, no matter what others may think.
"Inspired Bicycles" by Danny McCaskills, has inspired me because it showed that practice does make perfect. Just one year ago,I could barely hit a 20 mph pitch. Now I can hit over 55 mph. This video reminded me of so much that I accomplish in just a short period of time. McCaskills had a hard time during the beginning of the video. I had a rough time too during the past year but, its all worth it in the end. McCaskills is now one of the best bikers ever. Now I may not be the best softball player in the world, but I will sure try my best to be. Every time I step in the batters box, I will think about McCaskills and what he has done to inspire me.
The video "Inspired Bicycles" relates to my world because it shows me that I need to persevere and work hard at something if I want to achieve it. This can relate to my academics because in school I also need to persevere in order to be successful. His video can be related to writing because throughout his video, his tricks get bigger and more dangerous, making it hard to stop watching. His video inspired me because it made me want to achieve all of my goals and keep working at my goals.
Danny McCaskill's "Inspired Bicycles" related to my daily life in ways I didn't expect it to. I may be looking too much into meaning of this video, but in my mind Danny McCaskill was asking his viewer to follow the path less traveled. Taking the path less traveled is a very deep concept to get from a video that really had no words, but my reason for believing this is that Danny has taken the less travel road metaphorically and literally. Metaphorically Danny chose to pursue bike riding while most people would laugh at him for wanting to accomplish the feats that were shown in the video. And literally Danny took the path less traveled by riding his bike on the side on the stair case, instead of down them as most people would do. With both of these facts in mind, taking the path most wouldn't is what Danny is asking of the rest of society. That is how Danny McCaskill's video relates to my life and to our school. If every day in class we choose to go above and beyond in school and outside of school we would be taking a less traveled path as Danny did. Likewise the best writers chose to write about topics most people would avoid, so choosing less popular topics could enhance our writing. "Inspired Bicycles" made me rethink my daily choices in which paths I take, and is truly inspiring to me as it will change how I behave from this point forth.
"Inspired Bicycles" applies to my life because it shows what can happen when hard work is done. I never knew how to shoot or pass a soccer ball but through hard work I learned at least moderate skill for soccer. The same applies I think to all sports because through hard work anything is possible. This connects to writing because it starts out with a problem which throughout the video is shown to be solved due to the gravity defying tricks from Danny McCaskill. I think this video really inspired me to do what I believe in and to never give up.
'Inspired Bicycles' related to my life because it shows that you could achieve anything if work enough for it. I know this because in the video Danny McCaskill was doing insane bike tricks, but at one point in his life he didn't even know how to ride a bike. That just shows that if I wanted to do something then if I worked at it a lot and worked hard then I could achieve my goal. I can connect to this because I used to do swimming and year after year I would work at it and then just last year I qualified for Silver State in swimming. That just shows that you can do anything if you work enough.
Personally, as I watched Inspired Bicycles I saw that what the person was doing but at the same time, I feared for his safety. This sort of relate to my writing because in writing, sometimes you need to try something that may not go over as well or is risky. It is inspiring that the man has enough perseverance to continue doing what he loves despite the risk of injury.
The video "Inspired Bicycles" by Danny McCaskills was very inspiring. It proved to me that no matter what the task, if you try hard enough and practice enough, you can get good at it. A very inspiring thing about this video is that at some point in Danny's life, he didn't even know how to ride a bike. During his life, he went from being not even able to ride a bike, to being amazing at it. I can relate to this video because at one point in my life, I didn't even know what the sport of lacrosse was. Now, I play it almost daily! It's crazy how just time and effort can make a skill level change so significantly. Danny very much motivated me to try something new, because for all I know, at one some time in my life I could be as good as he is at biking at something else.
