But before all that, | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
it's time for the first stop on your journey to becoming epic. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
If you have three mates and aren't afraid of heights, then watch this. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Cheerleading is epic. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
There are cheerleading competitions, sports events | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
and you've probably seen it in the movies. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
But it's not all pom-poms and chanting, nuh-uh, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
there are epic stunts to check out, too. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Just like the one these four cheerleaders are going to show you. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
Hi, we're UA Manchester Cheer | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
-and we're going to show you how to do a double-base thigh stand. -A what?! | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
Oh, OK, double-base thigh stand, that looks impressive. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
First you need to get three friends together. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Two of which will be the side bases. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
They're going to create a platform for the flyer, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
who goes up in the air performing the stunt and the back spot, who | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
stands behind the flyer, protecting the head, neck and shoulders. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
The two bases are going to take a nice deep lunge, overlapping their | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
feet, making sure they create a nice platform for their flyer to step on. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
The flyer's going to place her right foot into the pocket of | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
one of the bases. The pocket is where the hip meets the leg. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
It's where you keep your change, silly! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Be careful, if you put your foot in the wrong spot, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
it could be a bit painful. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
The flyer is going to step up strongly onto her right foot, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
locking out her leg. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
She will then place her other foot into the pocket of the other base. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
The bases hug tightly around the leg | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
and the back spot holds on at the flyer's waist. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Hope you've got a good grip! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
To top it all off, the flyer's going to put her arms up in a V. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
The side bases will then do the same. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
And there you have it, a double-base thigh stand. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
And that's how you do an epic cheerleading stunt. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Right, that's our first hit of epicness done and dusted. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
But don't worry, our journey continues. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Now, here's a little tip for that annoying thing you | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
get from time to time. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
I'm talking about hiccups, not your younger brother! | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
To save you from this noisy nightmare, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
we have Dr Chris Van Tulleken to show you how. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
I'm Dr Chris and I'm going to tell you how to get rid of hiccups. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-Hurrah! -Hiccups occur when a muscle between your chest | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
and your abdomen called your diaphragm goes into spasm | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
and causes the sound at the top of the windpipe. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
-It's catching! -Hiccups are a bit like the opposite of a burp. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
Burp! | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
-Rude. -Hiccups are not serious, they usually only last a few minutes | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
and everyone gets them from time to time. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Here are a few things you can try which may help you stop your hiccups. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
Drink water from the far side of the glass. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Surely, there is something easier than that. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-Not that! -You can bite on a lemon. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Put some pressure on your nose while swallowing. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Or try some good old-fashioned gargling. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
Truth is, hiccups only last a short while, so if you did nothing, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
you'd look a bit less silly. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
Try having a nap, when you wake up, they'll be gone. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
There you have it, how to get rid of hiccups. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
On we go. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
If you thought that was good, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
this next one will send your epicometer off the scale. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
Here's a cool coin trick that will totally wow your mates! | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
My name is Ben Hanlin, I'm a magician and this is how to roll a coin. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
A-ha! The high speed coin roll, bring it on. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
First of all, take the coin and place it between your thumb | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
and your index finger, like so. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Then tilt your hand about 30 or 40 degrees. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
This will allow gravity to pull the coin downwards, like that. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
Now, as it falls onto the next finger, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
move your middle finger downwards and your index finger upwards. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Then when it hits your ring finger, do exactly the same. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
That goes down and your middle finger goes up. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Then when it reaches your last finger, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
-let it fall into your other hand. -One finger down, one finger up. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
OK, Magic Boy, I think we've just about got that. What next? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
To be extra cool, when it gets to the bottom, reverse the steps | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
so it comes back up, like that. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Stick it all together and this is what you've got. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
And that's how to do a coin roll. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Nice one. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
Feeling epic? We've only just started. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
There's still all this to come. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
This guy tells you how to spend your cash wisely. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
No biggie, it's because I care. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
This Olympian shows you how to chuck one of these bad boys. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
And this dude shows you how to make your own sweeties. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Bish, bash, bosh, done. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
But first, if you find yourself in the unlikely event that you | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
have to mummify something, then this kid can help you out. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
Mummification is pretty epic stuff. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
The ancient Egyptians believed that if your spirit was to | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
survive in the afterlife, your body needed to be preserved forever. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
That's why they came up with the idea of mummifying | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
people once they die, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
a ritual they carried out for 3,000 years. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
It was ages ago when it last happened, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
but just imagine if you had to do it. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
Think that's unlikely? Well, picture the scene. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
You're walking down the street on your way to school | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
-and you hear a phone ringing. -Ooh. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
You go to answer it, but instead of a phone box, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
you've actually stepped into a time machine | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
and are transported to an ancient Egyptian burial ceremony. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
Guess what? You're in charge! No need to worry, though. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
To fill us in on this slightly gruesome process, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
we've dug up a man who's an expert on ancient Egypt. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Take it away, Aidan. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
HE SHUDDERS | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
First stage was to wash the body | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
and then make a cut in the side of the tummy. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
And they took out the stomach, the liver, the lungs and the intestines. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
Really? Oh, anyone else feeling a little bit sick? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
Surely it can't get any worse than that! | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-Then it was time to take the brain out. -Oh, hang on, it just got worse! | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
They put a chisel up the nostril, tapped | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
and broke through between the nose and the brain case. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Oooh, that's got to hurt! Well, it would if they were still alive. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
They'd then put a piece of bent wire up the nose, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
wiggled it around a bit to break up the brain. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
Brilliant, of course they did. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
They then left the brain to trickle out the nostrils into a bowl, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
bit like a bowl of brain porridge. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
Brain porridge? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
Think I'll stick to cornflakes, thank you very much. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
After drying out the body by putting salt on it, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
it was then time for that all-important linen. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
The Egyptians started off wrapping the individual fingers | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
and toes in linen, but gradually more and more layers were added. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
Eventually, a fully wrapped mummy would look | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
just like a cylinder of linen with a head on top of it. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
Lovely, that's your classic mummy look, right there. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
To be honest, though, I'm still thinking of the brain porridge. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-Nice. -And that was how to mummify someone. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
Thanks, Aidan. That was truly epic. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
So on to the next and I've got a question for you - | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
do you like javelins? Do you like Olympians? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
Do you want to throw a javelin like an Olympian? Then listen up. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
Hi, I'm Katarina Johnson-Thompson, I'm an Olympic athlete | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
and here's how to throw a javelin. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson is a legend in waiting. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
She competed alongside Jessica Ennis in the Olympic heptathlon | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
and has been tipped for glory in Rio in 2016. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
When it comes to throwing a javelin like a pro, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
there is no one better to learn the basics from. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
Before starting, ensure you've limbered up your arms. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
I like to stretch with the javelin like this. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
OK, Katarina, whenever you've finished warming up, | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
why don't you tell us how we should grip our javelin. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
I throw it with my right hand, which is my writing hand. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
I would grip the banding with my thumb at the top of the groove. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Nice one, Katarina, keep it groovy for the perfect hold. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
Right, before we think about running and throwing, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
let's kick off with a few standing throws. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Tell us more, Javelin Lady. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
To get into a good javelin position, | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
you're going to draw your arm back with a straight arm, javelin above | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
your shoulder, throw through the point so the javelin stays straight. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
Got that? OK, let's take it up a gear by adding a simple three step | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
run into the mix. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
When you've mastered the standing throw, progress to three steps | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
because that will give it more distance. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
I like to get my rhythm by counting to three, just like this. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
One, two-three. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
It all looks pretty easy when Katarina does it, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
but once you got that mastered, it's time to do things Olympic style. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
Finally, you progress to seven steps, which is what I did at the Olympics, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
and your javelin throwing should look like this. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
Oh, is it a bird? Is it a plane? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
Nope, it's Katarina's mighty javelin. See how it soars. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
And that was how to throw a javelin. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
Thanks, Katarina. Right, do you like money? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Yes, stupid question, of course you do. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Here's an epic tip on how to get the most | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
out of your wonderful wonga! | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
Hi, guys, I'm Ricky | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
and I'm going to show you how to spend your pocket money wisely. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
No biggie, it's because I care. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
Now, the average amount of pocket money children in the UK get | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
per week is more than £5! | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
Woo-hoo! Loaded. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
Quite a lot, isn't it? Well, not if you're spending without thinking. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
So here are a few tips to make sure you can save while you're spending. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
Always shop around. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:20 | |
Also, always make sure you check how much something is per 100ml or | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
per 100g. I'll give you an example. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
It might be cheaper to buy an individual can of cola | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
than it is a multipack. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:30 | |
You see, at this well known supermarket, an individual can | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
would set you back 12.5p per 100ml, whereas the multipack is almost 18p. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
OK, look at the little number, not the big number, got it. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
And that's how you can be good with your money. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
Thanks, Ricky, with your tips, | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
I'll be a millionaire by the end of the month. Probably not. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
Right, time for one last dose of epicness and it's super sweet, | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
literally. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
Sweets are epic. But they cost lovely money. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Wouldn't it be ace if you could make them at home? Well, you can. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
We've got Junior Bake Off super chef, Aaron Craze, | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
to show you how to make your own gummy worms. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
OK, now for this recipe, you're going to need.. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
-..or orange juice or whatever flavour you would like. -Cola, please! | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
Right, now, let's make the gummy worms. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
So this is gelatine, this is what makes the gummy. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
Water goes into the gelatine. Pour enough in just to cover the gelatine. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
Now, get your sugar and a pan and pour it in. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
And then add the glucose. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:44 | |
Now, with a little bit of help from some more water. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
All we need to do now is cook it. Uh-huh. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
Obviously, get an adult to help here. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
I don't want you burning yourself. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
Now, we just want to warm it up, that's all we're doing. OK. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
Bish, bash, bosh, done. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
OK, now, we're going to put it all together. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
So in with your cola, as I'm using. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
Then the gelatine. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
And then for the colouring. I'm using blue, cos I'm a Chelsea supporter. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
Now, all we have to do is put the mixture into the dish. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Wow. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
We need to put them into the fridge for an hour. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
OK, an hour has passed, time to get your gummy worms out. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
How do we know if they're ready? Hmm. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
Yeah, they're ready. Let's go. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
-Get one of these. -A spatula. -And start scraping away and releasing it. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:53 | |
Then you pop it on to your chopping board. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
