It relates to my world by he might fail when he tries different things but he gets back up and does it again till he gets it right kind of like life and writing. Which is how it would relate to writing. These can all connect with my academics because he is doing well then he might fail but he gets up and tries again. He did inspire an motivate me to not only ride my bike but to also keep working hard in writing and even if I fail, I can try again and do better.

The Danny McCaskill Inspired Bicycles Presentation does a great job demonstrating how it takes any attempts and lots of failure in order to finally become skilled at something. Much like the ar of biking in this video, writing takes many fixes, and rough drafts in order to have a flawless final draft. While attempting to become a skilled biker, Danny McCaskill had many fails and rough times. After enough practice and evaluation, he became an amazing bicycle rider. This is a very inspiring video because it shows that with enough practice, you can become great at anything you want to do.

This relates to my world because I practice soccer a lot and you can tell this guy practices his biking a lot. Also this can relate to writing because if you practice a lot then you can get better and do good things.

It inspired me in a way where in the beginning he kept falling and hurting himself and the bike. Yet he would keep going back to that same obstacle where he will observe and try and conquer the situation in another way. He also showed that even though he doesn't have a perfect bike course he used the things around him and makes the best of them by using them to perform tricks. This is similar to writing where if you hit a writing block you should keep trying to find different ways to work around it and make the best of and use your surroundings for your just like he did for his bike tricks.

We all should get inspired by the littlest things just like this video. When we get inspired we can do good things for our families, strangers, and the world. When we get inspired we can change ourselves into good people.

this relates to my world because i face a lot of obstacles in life and in the beginning of the video he did not give up and i try to do the same. and it cold be a reminder to do what you love to do even when its not successful in the beginning of you journey. so yeah it could inspire someone to do that.

Yes, this man had to be practicing this for years and years and he had to go through a lot of pain and he had to persevere through lots of struggles. I know that many people must have made fun of him and he had to have been embarrassed a lot when he was practicing and when he fell and failed. but through all this he continued to practice and it paid off because he can do amazing things and he has gotten so far, I can relate to this when I do my sports like jujitsu and wrestling whenever I feel like giving up and quitting.

This related to my world because in the video he's taking risks and practicing until he gets better and better. He does things knowing he could fail, some things he did looked really hard and cool. The video did not inspire me that much but It did inspire me to try something new and take risks

This Video inspired me because it showed how he kept on trying to get his skill. This helped me realize if at first you don't succeed then try try again.it is going to help me remember to work towards my goals and I will reach them after a lot of work and it is not going to be easy.

He kept trying and it probably took him a lot of attempts but he really cared to he did it enough that he perfected it. I could apply that to writing by caring about it enough to perfect it. Evan m

It inspired me because at the beginning of the video he was falling and not making it and then with hard work, he began to make it and try new things. There are a lot of risks that he took to do this and it is crazy that you can have the guts and confidence to do this. Especially since he is in public. This is similar to writing because you are not always going to write a good paper, or you might have trouble writing a paper, but with hard work you can accomplish almost anything especially if its a silly little paper.

At the start he was showing he had failed at doing his trick a couple of times and and that relates to life because after he showed us he had accomplished the trick and that works in life because sometimes you fail and you get better before you finally can do it. His video was him changing the rules. (moving the sign). Then failing, then completing and doing a bunch of tricks. It relates to school because of course everyone fails once or more and they have to learn and try again to get better. His trick were he did a flip was exciting to me. Other reactions included I thought it was cool and it took a lot of skill.

Inspired Bicycles by Danny MaCaskill relates to my world because you have to work to achieve your goal. There may be failures and bumps along the path to victory, but when we overcome them and persevere, we can be successful. This video relates to writing because, just like cycling, we have to revise and critique our writing until it is at its full potential. When I watched this video I was utterly shocked. I did not know that someone could do that on a bike! He not only inspired me to ride my bike more, but also to keep working hard at the things I love. And even if I fail, I should get back up and keep moving forward.

His presentation makes you think a lot about growth. It makes you think about where you have come and how long it's taken you to get to this point. Out of all his performances I was thinking of one quote I saw in a teacher's classroom. "All experts were once novices". Throughout the whole video it makes me think about how I've grown in different sports and subjects in school, how I've changed as a person throughout my years, and most importantly on how to continue growing in all these things.

The presentation Inspired Bicycles was a video with a lot of hidden messages in it. He kept falling down off his bike, but he would get right back up. This is a lesson we all should learn when life knocks you down, you need to get right back up and keep going.

This video relates to my world by showing me that even though some things may seem impossible they are not. Although he did not succeed 100% of the time he kept going. And to me that is what is key to anyone, in any situation. A lot of the things that he does in this video I could never even dream of doing but knowing that someone with the same capabilities as me can inspires me to take more risks and keep an opened mind about things i have never done before or that look challenging.

The First time he tried to bike on top of the fence, he failed and fell but then he got back up and did it again, this time succeeding. This relates to my life because in gymnastics, I couldn't do a cartwheel at first but once I kept trying and practicing, I finally did it right. What inspired me to do the cartwheel was my friends who cheered me on. This also relates to writing because the first time he tries the trick, it like a rough draft. Then he tries it again, and actually completes it like a final draft. - Sophia Floyd

This video relates to my life by showing me that everyone goes through hard times and all you can do it get back up and try it again. It shows me that if you try one thing and it doesn't work, do not just give up, try again until you get it right. This video inspired me by telling me that life might get hard but if you just take a break, breath, then try again, you have a greater chance of succeeding

The video shows how he has so much passion for bike tricks. At the beginning it shows how he tries and fails but he eventually makes it. This relates to me because I have a passion for sports and I try and fail at learning new things, but I eventually I succeed at learning new things and new sports.

This video shows me that many people fail or struggle when they are trying something they are really passionate about. It really shows me that everything takes hard work even if you are a so-called "natural" and that you just need to keep getting up again. I can use this in my life by keep trying in my activities even if it is hard and I keep failing.

The video shows how much effort you put into your passion there is nothing you can't conquer. This video really shows me that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. No matter what no one is perfect at anything and if you fail you need to try again and again. I can use this in my life by not giving up in cross country and by not walking I can get better.

I think this video shows how if you keep failing on something you really want to accomplish, use that as motivation so you can get better and eventually perfect the thing you love doing the most.

This video relates to my world by being an active activity and going outside and actually doing something. It can relate to writing by once you get good at something you can really show off and show why you like to do something and that it can be fun. It connects to my academic endeavors by knowing that once I get my school work done I can do fun stuff just like him. Yes he did make me look twice because some of the stuff he did was very impressing. He kind of motivated me to go outside and have fun.
