Even though minimal amount of words are presented in this video, the struggles and achievements of Danny McCaskill are well portrayed. This can be transferred to writing because longer is not always better, similar to more words do not always portray the full message, as demonstrated in this video. This video begins with him falling and getting back up; this can be related back to almost anything that requires perseverance. It shows that even if you fall on your face and fail hundreds of times, this will lead to tens of hundreds of successes. Secondly, this video shows that even if you feel that something is impossible, it is always possible if you are willing to put in the work, this could sports or academics. This video ultimately demonstrates that everyone is unique and brings their own style to everything they do.

After watching the Inspired Bicycles video starring Danny McCaskill, my understanding of practice making perfect intensified. At the beginning of the video, McCaskill seemed to prematurely possess advanced bicycle skills that within 30 days progressed to dynamic tricks. Consequently, this video helped me to recognize if I don't take my time to master a subject, I will never revolutionize the task. Danny McCaskill's skill development helped inspire me to blossom academically, by transforming how I perform intellectually. Performing more meticulously in my academics will result in current and future scholastic success. Furthermore, while seeing Danny's flips, tricks, and spins I felt exhilarated to produce my own similar, yet not as dangerous experience. For my future, I yearn to explore the medical field to accomplish becoming a transplant nurse mirroring McCaskill's aspiration for bettering his bicycle skills and accomplishing his courageous stunt goals.

Danny McCaskill's video had a big effect on me and my thinking. He fell, took many hits, but he always got back up. Many of my classmates will talk about his skill and how cool he is, but when I watch that it made me realize how we all need to start at the "bottem" sometimes. This reminded me of drawing. I have been drawing most of my life, since I could pick up a pencil. I sill draw, every day. I love to bring a plan piece of paper to life. I wouldn't be able to do that now if I never tried in the first place. Danny McCaskill helped me see that. When it comes to my witing I also see a lot of the same trates. I like to write, I can't do it too well but I know if I keep doing it, soon I'll be as good and proficient as I can get.

Inspired Bicycles starring Danny McCaskill's was unique. Not because of the astounding tricks performed but the deeper meaning. Meaning that can be related to writing in the sense that it isn't easy. Struggles and difficulties will come about when writing any piece because humans are humans and we make mistakes. The importance of making mistakes is colossal, but the ability to come back from them and learn from them is even more important. This relates mostly to the first clip of the video when McCaskill tries repetitively to do the trick successfully. In the end, it is imperative for everyone to know that making mistakes is normal and the knowledge learned after making them is incredibly important knowledge.

Inspired Bicycles starring Danny McCaskill changed my outlook on certain challenges that I face in my day to day life. In its entirety, Inspired Bicycles showed someone overcoming a difficult challenge by making mistakes and consistently pushing through those discouraging times. In writing, there will be mistakes and errors, but through those mistakes, we learn and improve. Not only in writing but in academics overall, this video's message applies. Throughout high school, there will certainly be countless mistakes and obstacles but as long as we keep working towards our goals we can achieve great things. This video did motivate and inspire me to work towards some goals of mine that I have thought to be too difficult for me to achieve. Overall, Inspired Bicycles contains invaluable lessons that everyone could benefit from.

Inspired Bicycles starring Danny McCaskill to me is about overcoming certain obstacles that will come up in your everyday life. In this video, Danny struggled at first with his biking,but he pushed through and kept practicing, and he eventually got it. This video said to me to never give up, because you never know what you can achieve. In high school, I know there will be lots of tough times, but we need to push through.

I can relate to the inspired bicyclist video. When I was younger I really wanted to play volleyball so I tied out for a team but didn't make it. It made me think that the sport wasn't for me and I should just put it behind me; but instead I kept trying. After I was cut from the team, I told myself that I would continue to practice and get better so that next year I would make the school team and hopefully a league team. Later that year I made a league team and in seventh grade I made the school team. I kept practicing and in eighth grade I made the A team and had made it to the highest league level. Our school team worked really hard and got second place at finals. Going into high school I decided to try out for a club team and made the team above my age group. I am really proud of where I am now and I'm glad that I didn't give up in the beginning. I believe the video has a good message saying that even if you fail n the beginning, it doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying!

I can relate to the Inspired Bicycle because of the way I persist in things I like. For example, when I was younger I auditioned for a national honor choir. Due to me having no previous choir or singing experience, I had to learn. I took voice lessons and practiced repeatedly and would eventually learn I made the choir!

Danny McCaskill’s “Inspired Bicycles” video, although silent, speaks many words about perseverance. The beginning of the video starts off with Danny attempting to parkour onto a fence while on a bicycle. He gets back on and the rest of the video is filled with clips of him doing mind-blowing tricks on his bicycle. Seeing these clips gave me a lot of inspiration to start working hard to accomplish the things I want, including staying diligent to complete all of my schoolwork and be proud of the end result. McCaskill certainly made me look twice. I was not expecting him to do such crazy tricks, and he undoubtedly inspired me in many ways.

The video "Inspired Bicycles" video relates to my world because I like to believe in not giving up. Like Danny I ride bikes and when i want to learn a trick even when I fall I still try. The beginning of the video starts with Danny falling and in the middle and the end are about him succeeding. Once I got home I watched the video again just because of how he failed then tried over and over and succeeded and it was amazing.

Despite the lack of words, the "Inspired Bicycles" video really hit home how far one can go through perseverance. The video actually impacted me personally, because I was struggling with improving at my favorite competitive fighting game, BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. After viewing the clips, I felt inspired to practice the game again. So what if I messed up my combo? Thanks to this video, I've really gotten back into the groove of the game, and I'll hopefully be attending some tournaments soon.

I think the bike presentation relates to our world because he tries so many creative ways to ride his bike and I think he is showing people to do that with life because a lot of people are afraid to try. Relating this to writing is definitely something you can do and I think it would be so interesting to read about someone who will try anything with their bike and someone with no fear. Connecting academics is shows where you can work hard to get good grades like he was working hard. He inspired me to always try my hardest in anything I do and makes you want to do amazing things.

The video "inspired Bicycles" notes a lot about being able to preserver and practice to get better. Being able to not give up shows a lot of character in Danny. Even though he couldn't quite get it at first he continued and that's how he learned so many of the amazing tricks he could do. He practiced so much and that to me is so inspiring.

The "inspired Bicycles" video showed me that you can be almost anything you want as long as you don't give up. The guy in the video fell many times while trying to do the trick, and because he didn't give up he was finally able to do it. If all you do is quit when something gets hard then you wont ever be truly good at something. This video inspired me to never stop trying no matter how hard thing get, and eventually you will become good at it.

The video "inspired bicycles" shows me how not giving up can lead to amazing things. In the beginning, Danny couldn't do the parkour on the small fence, but he never gave up and continued to work hard towards his goal, eventually achieving it and much more. At the end of the video, Danny could do almost anything on a bike, which I thought was crazy because, in the beginning, he couldn't do what now seemed natural. Watching this video made me realize how if I put my mind up to something and work hard to achieve a goal, I can do it. All I have to do is believe in myself.

After watching Inspired Bicycles, by Danny McCaskill, I was truly inspired. Every time a new clip played I was in pure awe, and wanted to go out and try it myself. Besides the video being extremely impressive, it also made me think about how hard work pays off. No-one is born being able to do what he does, and it most likely took a long time to learn “Bike-Parkour”. In writing, this can be taken as “No one is necessarily born a great writer, but with time and effort anyone can be”.

“Inspired bicycles” is mainly about trying hard and never giving up. This video reminds me of when I first came to Arapahoe and was scared. Eventually, I learned to get out of my comfort zone and talk to new people which has made my High School experience better already. These two things are very similar because they both have a lot to do with perseverance. This film also demonstrates struggles which everyone will have to face, but you can either give up when things get hard or keep on going.

The video "Inspired Bicycles" relates to the world by always showing that everyone could improve in what they are doing in one way or another, like even if we think we are the world's best there is always room for improvement in ourselves. The biker in the video Danny McCaskill started out as a total rookie in his art of bike riding that he does, but when he kept going and working harder and harder at it and now he does it with no stress what so ever. Related to writing it just shows how you are never done learning how to do something the best, you can always improve if you're at the bottom or the top. Yes he did make me look twice the video is very crazy and exciting, it's very unbelievable that he can manage to do all of that. He made me think about how much effort I really am putting into everything I do schoolwork wise and that I probably could work harder then I am right now.

In the video Inspired Bicycles, Danny McCaskill showed off his biking skills in multiple ways, including some ‘fails’. Through his skills, he shows determination and hard work which greatly relates to anything in life because, to be good at anything, one must have a good work ethic and determination, no matter what the cost. In his case, the cost would be falling and getting hurt, but, in most cases, the risk would be failing, like getting a bad grade or not getting the part in a play. His determination and mind set can be an inspiration to everyone and I am glad for such great role models to exist in the world

The video "Inspired Bicycles" relates to my life because he never stop trying to go after what he wanted too and thats what I want to do. I want to be the best at whatever Im doing and so does he. He must have gotten hurt ,broken bones, or even got concussions but he never stopped going after the trick he wanted to do. I could't believe what he was doing in the video he was bouncing on fences and bouncing off tree and that takes serious courage and concentration and I want to be like that in my life. It really did inspire me to never stop goign after what I want no matter how hard it is.

I think this is what happens when you spend lots of time on something you love, I think he did a good job with this, I am too inspired to do something good, try, and do better
