0:00:06 > 0:00:09Welcome to the world of epic!
0:00:11 > 0:00:16The place where you can become a master at everything on the planet!
0:00:17 > 0:00:22No matter what it is, this programme shows you how to do it.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26So sit back, strap yourself in and get ready
0:00:26 > 0:00:29to become Epic @ Everything!
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Welcome to your total random fix of epicness.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39We've got an amazing line-up of experts, hotshots and all-round
0:00:39 > 0:00:42dudes with the low-down on how you can do what they can do.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47In just 15 minutes, you will know how to...
0:00:47 > 0:00:49shred on a guitar,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51do the robot,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53do impressions,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55make the perfect paper aeroplane,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57sign that you need a wee,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01and this kid shows you how to beat a T-rex.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05But before all that it's time for your first taste of epicness.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08We all know that wheelies are cool, so, lucky for you,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12we've got the master of them to show you how to do one.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21This guy is the world record holder for the longest wheelie ever.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22It was eight miles!
0:01:22 > 0:01:25That's, like...eight miles!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I'm going to show you how to do a brilliant wheelie.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Make sure your back brake is razor-sharp,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38your back tyre is over-inflated and really hard.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Choose third or fourth gear. Normally I choose fourth gear.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It's easier to keep balance point.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46OK, back brake, hard tyre, third or fourth gear.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50But remember, don't saddle up before sticking on your helmet.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Got to protect that noggin.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Now you're ready to try a wheelie.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56First thing is you want to choose a flat spot on the ground.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Mark a line where you're going to start your wheelie.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Once that spot is reached, pull evenly on your handlebars
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and pedal down at the same time.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Once you reach balance point, you'll feel weightless.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Keep your arms straight and parallel. You use your back brake
0:02:10 > 0:02:12and your pedal motion to maintain your wheelie.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Put your brakes on, Aaron, let's rewind.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Pulling up while you pedal on the down stroke will push your bike
0:02:18 > 0:02:22up in the air. But remember, take it easy at first.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You won't be able to do it straightaway.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Once you've done that you'll do amazing wheelies.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Don't break my world record!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Thanks, Aaron. I'll try not to.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34The boy who really should have been bought a unicycle when he was a kid.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36So that's the first part of epicosity done with,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39but hold tight because there's more coming your way.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Next, time to bust some serious moves.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And I'm not talking about the hokey cokey! Oh, no.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47We're talking about the robot,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50one of the most epic dance moves ever.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54"But how do you do it?" I hear you ask. Watch and learn.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Hi, I'm Turbo, a dancer.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And I'm going to show you how to do the robot.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Meet Turbo.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04This dude is an expert street dancer
0:03:04 > 0:03:08and one of the judges on Alesha's Street Dance Stars.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Doing the robot is one of the coolest ways of dancing.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13The best way to learn it is to move three areas of your body
0:03:13 > 0:03:15one at a time.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Your head, your torso, and your feet.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21You need to get each part of your body used to the robotic movement
0:03:21 > 0:03:22before you can do it properly.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Starting with the head. First, our face forwards.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Look over to your left. Look forwards again.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Look over to your right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Then back to the centre. Keeping everything absolutely still.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38After you've done the head, you then need to move your torso.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Keeping your head and your feet facing forwards,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43you're going to turn your torso to the left.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Back to the centre, then to the right.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Then face the front.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- And now for the feet. - I think I know what's coming here.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Keep your torso and your head facing forwards,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55and then shift your feet over to the left,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57back to the centre.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Then to the right, back to the centre.- I knew it!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Once you've got each body part moving like a robot,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05you can create your own sequence.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06For example...
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Head, torso, feet.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Head, torso, feet.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15OK, I'm starting to feel this now, Turbo.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19And when you become a pro like me, this is how you do it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Oh, yeah! C-3PO, eat your metal heart out.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27This robot has got some smoking moves and hair.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32And that, my friends, is how you do the robot.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38From dancing like a robot to doing impressions of celebrities.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40This next one will have all your mates cracking up.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Doing impressions is epic.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I love it!
0:04:48 > 0:04:53But how do you get to be awesome at pretending to be somebody else?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55You're an idiot.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Who better than the telly queen of impressions herself
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- to tell us how it's done. - Tell me you are kidding me.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Hi, I'm Debra Stephenson, and I'm going to show you
0:05:04 > 0:05:06how to be epic at impressions.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Sounds good to me, Debra. Tell us more.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11You want to do an impression of someone,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13you need to study them really carefully.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It's not just the voice you're looking for,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18it's all sorts of things, so let's break it down.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Mannerisms are a really important thing to look for. Stacey Solomon...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Ah! Thank you for having me. - A second time.- I know!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26All you have to do is this...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28"Ohhh, ohh! I can't believe it!"
0:05:28 > 0:05:31OK, Debra, what else should we be doing?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Don't forget to look for the accent.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36It seems obvious but if someone's got a regional accent,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39that gives you something very definite to work with.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41So somebody like Cheryl Cole, for instance...
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I played to Newcastle which was always a childhood dream of mine.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Practise saying... NEWCASTLE ACCENT: Cheryl Cole soul.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51And that was amazing. You totally nailed that.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Look out for catchphrases, and key words,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55because that makes things easier.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59For instance, Tess Daly always says, "Keep dancing!"
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Keep dancing!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Finally, look out for any minor speech impediments
0:06:06 > 0:06:07such as a lisp or a lazy R.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10And then if you got a lisp and a lazy R and you just put it back
0:06:10 > 0:06:13in your throat and you've got a northern accent as well,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15with an enthusiastic and bubbly personality,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and all of a sudden you've got Helen Skelton!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It's everything rolled into one. Good luck!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Let me tell you a secret.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Ah, well done, Debra! You can have a Blue Peter badge for that one.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29And that is how to be epic at impressions.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Thanks, Debra! Right, feeling epic?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Then wait until you see what's still to come.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37This girl shows you how to make one of these.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40And there you have it, the ultimate paper aeroplane.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- This dude tells you how to sign... - I need the toilet.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50And this guy shows you how to do this. Wow!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Anyway, do you like T-rexs? Reckon you could take one on?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59This kid shows you what to do.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Looking for epic dinosaurs?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Well, look no further than the mighty T-rex.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09ROARING
0:07:10 > 0:07:13They may be extinct, but just imagine
0:07:13 > 0:07:14if things were a bit different.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Picture the scene.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Your mum asks you to go and look after your neighbour's pet,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22let's call him Rex.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26But when you go over, you discover Rex isn't a Yorkshire terrier
0:07:26 > 0:07:28but a massive great dinosaur!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31And because he's skipped breakfast, he's pretty mad.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33ROAR!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Sounds like you'd need some basic dinosaur handling skills,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38and this is the guy to speak to.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42He's a palaeontologist, which means he's an dinosaur expert.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Hi, I'm Dr Phil Manning,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and I'm going to teach you how to beat a T-rex.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Not that it's ever going to happen to you.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54All right, Phil, you've obviously never met next door's pet!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So what should we know?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Firstly, don't believe the movies.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03This animal had a great sense of smell and amazing eyesight.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08In fact, their eyeball was bigger than a cricket ball. That's big!
0:08:08 > 0:08:12What?! Jurassic Park lied to us?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Standing very still definitely won't help.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18A T-rex will be able to both see and smell you.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But what could we do to stop ourselves getting eaten?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24So, let's say you want to take on a T-rex. Don't!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27These animals are 13 foot high.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28You've got to go on step ladders
0:08:28 > 0:08:31if you just want to take a pop on the nose!
0:08:31 > 0:08:3513 feet? We're not still living in prehistoric times, Phil.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37T-rexs were nearly four metres high.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40That's the same size as a double-decker bus.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Anyway, just say we had our step ladders. What then?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46T-rex weighs in at 7.5 tonnes.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50So even if you did get a swing in, you wouldn't have much of an impact.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Right, the odds of actually beating a T-rex
0:08:54 > 0:08:58are starting to look a bit slim. Any secret tips, though, Phil?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02The only chance you'd have of beating a T-rex is by taping its jaws shut.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07But don't forget, the skull is still six feet long,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10with teeth like killer bananas.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Killer bananas? Doesn't sound that scary to me.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16But I think we know what you're trying to say, Phil.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23If all else fails, my best advice, make friends with the T-rex.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25It might work!
0:09:25 > 0:09:26You know what, Phil, funnily enough,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm not sure these fellas are the making friends type.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Our advice, if you ever come face-to-face with a T-rex, just run!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Good luck with that!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39So, on to the next.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41If your paper aeroplanes are taking more of a nose dive
0:09:41 > 0:09:44than soaring through the sky, then this is for you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Meet Fran Scott, a qualified scientist
0:09:48 > 0:09:50and professional experimenter.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53She's presented with some of the best science minds around,
0:09:53 > 0:09:54apart from Einstein and Newton.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Hi, I'm Fran Scott,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00and we're going to look at how to make the ultimate paper aeroplane.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Epic!- Here it is, and here's how you do it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Take a piece of A4 paper.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Fold it in half,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10then fold the two sides
0:10:10 > 0:10:12into the middle diagonally.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19To make the nose of the plane, fold in the short end eight times.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Then to make the wings of the plane,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27simply fold it in half
0:10:27 > 0:10:30and then fold it back on itself.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35So, fold the paper back about two to three centimetres in...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39..and then do it for the other wing.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Maybe a little bit neater than Fran's!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Finally,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45fold the very ends of the wings up.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50So, to finish it off, use small folds on the wings.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Just like that.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58And there you have it. The ultimate paper aeroplane.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04On we go. Ever needed the loo? Yes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Don't want the whole room to know you need a wee? Obviously.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Well, try some toilet-based sign language.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Hi, I'm Matt.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16And I'm going to tell you how to sign "I need the toilet".
0:11:16 > 0:11:20This guy is a sign-tastic superstar. Watch and learn.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Firstly, it's important to know
0:11:21 > 0:11:23in sign language, they drop loads of words.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- So "I need the toilet" essentially becomes, "Toilet where?"- OK.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31The first word is toilet and to do this you take your middle finger
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- and rub it on the right side of your chest.- Understood.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36The next word is where, and all you have to do to sign this
0:11:36 > 0:11:40is put your hands out in front of you and wave them around in circles.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Dead easy.- Put them together and it looks like this.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47And that is how to sign "I need the toilet".
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Yeah, but Matt, I actually do need the loo. Where is it?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Right, time for one last dose of epicness
0:11:54 > 0:11:57and this is one truly epic guitar trick.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00PLAYS EPIC RIFF
0:12:00 > 0:12:03And luckily for you we've got one of the fastest guitarists in the world
0:12:03 > 0:12:05to show you a quick trick.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Steady on! You're going to break that thing!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12That definitely will break that thing.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Hi, I'm Herman Li, guitarist of the band Dragonforce.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I'm going to show you a cool trick called tapping.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19PLAYS GUITAR
0:12:24 > 0:12:26OK, you're going to take your index finger
0:12:26 > 0:12:29and put it on the smallest string on the guitar,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31which is the E string, on the fifth fret.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- The frets are the lines across the neck on the guitar.- OK.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36And with your right hand,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38tap with your middle finger
0:12:38 > 0:12:41on the 12th fret, OK, like this.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Right hand, middle finger on the 12th fret, got it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49At the same time, you see little pinky there?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Press on and off the string on the eighth fret.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55OK, so put your pinky, also known as the little finger,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- on the eighth fret. - So let's see how it works.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00PLAYS NOTES
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Ooh, that sounds lovely. But...what's the endgame?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Start slow, build up your speed,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16and once you're comfortable with it, you can do something like this.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18PLAYS NOTES AT SPEED
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Whoa, hang on, there!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24That is brilliant, but it might take a while to get THAT good, though.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29And that's how you do tapping on the electric guitar.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Thanks, Herman!
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Right, that brings us to the end of 15 minutes of total random epicness.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39You should now be able to try this...
0:13:39 > 0:13:40and this...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and even that.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Now, go forth and be epic at everything!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52If you want to be really epic,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55then head on over to the CBBC website
0:13:55 > 0:13:58where you can watch all the videos again,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01and again, and again!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So you can truly master your epicness.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Epi-i-i-ic!
