Episode 15 Epic Quick Blast

Welcome to the world of Epic.

Sit back, strap yourself in,

and get ready to become Epic at everything.

Welcome to your quick blast of Epic-ness.

So what are we waiting for? Let's do this!

First up - we all know that wheelies are cool, so lucky for you,

we've got the master of them to show you how to do one.

This guy is the world record holder for the longest wheelie ever.

It was eight miles! That's like

eight miles!

Hey, I'm Aaron Stannage,

and I'm going to show you how to do a brilliant wheelie.

You've got to make sure your back brake is razor-sharp,

your back tyre is overinflated and it's really hard,

and then you choose third or fourth gear.

Normally I choose fourth gear.

It's just easier to keep balance point.

OK.

Back brake, hard tyre, third or fourth gear.

But remember, don't saddle up before sticking on your helmet.

Got to protect that noggin.

Are you ready to try a wheelie?

The first thing is you want to choose a flat spot on the ground

and mark a line where you are going to start your wheelie.

Once that spot is reached, you want to pull evenly on your handlebars

and pedal down at the same time.

Once you reach balance point, you'll feel weightless.

Keep your arms straight and parallel.

You want to use your back brake and your pedal motion

to maintain your wheelie.

Put your brakes on, Aaron! Let's rewind.

Pulling up while you pedal on the downstroke will

push your bike up in the air.

But remember, take it easy at first.

You won't be able to do it straightaway.

Once you've done all that, you'll be doing amazing wheelies.

Just don't break my world record.

Thanks, Aaron. I'll try not to.

The boy who really should have been bought a unicycle when he was a kid.

Next - time to bust some serious moves,

and I'm not talking about the hokey cokey.

Oh, no.

Hi, I'm Turbo, a dancer,

and I'm going to show you how to do the robot.

Meet Turbo.

This dude is an expert street dancer

and one of the judges on Alesha's Street Dance Stars.

Doing the robot is one of the coolest ways of dancing.

The best way to learn it is to move three areas of your body

one at a time -

your head, your torso, and your feet.

You need to get each part of your body used to the

robotic movement before you can do it properly,

starting with the head.

First off, face forwards.

Look over to your left...

look forwards again,

look over to you right,

then back to the centre,

keeping everything absolutely still.

After you've done the head, you then need to move your torso.

Keeping your head and your feet facing forwards,

you're going to turn your torso to the left,

back to the centre, then to the right,

and then face the front.

And now for the feet.

I think I know what's coming here!

Keep your torso and your head facing forwards

and then shift your feet over to the left,

back to the centre,

then to the right, back to the centre.

I knew it!

Once you've got each body part moving like a robot,

you can create your own sequence.

For example,

head,

torso,

feet,

head,

torso,

feet.

OK, I'm starting to feel this now, Turbo.

And when you become a pro like me, this is how you do it.

Oh, yeah! C-3PO eat your metal heart out!

This robot has got some smoking moves

and hair.

And that, my friends, is how you do the robot.

So on to the next.

If your paper aeroplanes are taking more of a nose dive

than soaring through the sky, then this is for you.

Hi, I'm Fran Scott,

and we're going to look at how to

make the ultimate paper aeroplane.

Epic!

Here it is, and here's how you do it.

Take a piece of A4 paper...

..fold it in half,

then fold the two sides into the middle diagonally.

To make the nose of the plane, fold in the short end eight times.

Then to make the wings of the plane,

simply fold it in half

and then fold it back on itself.

So fold the paper back about two to three centimetres in,

and then do it for the other wing.

Maybe a little bit neater than Fran's.

Finally, fold the very ends of the wings up.

So to finish it off, use small folds on the wings.

Just like that!

And there you have it! The ultimate paper aeroplane.

So there you have it! Your quick blast of Epic-ness.

Now, go forth and be Epic at everything!
