0:00:54 > 0:00:56at the restaurant of epicness.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58If you've got a scooter knocking about in your shed,
0:00:58 > 0:00:59then dig it out quick!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Scooters, they're just toys for toddlers. Right?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I mean, look at them. Seriously.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Scooters are definitely not epic.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Right?
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Wrong!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Scoot over, skateboards,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15there's a new wheel board-based kid in town.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18So, want to learn how to do some awesome tricks?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Of course you do.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21And we've got one of the best scooter riders in the world
0:01:21 > 0:01:23to show you how.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Hi, I'm Lewis Williams and I am a pro scooter rider.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Today, I'm going to teach you how to tailwhip.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29A tailwhip? Mm, nice.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Right, let's do this. Safety gear on, everybody.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35First of all, you need to get comfortable on your scooter
0:01:35 > 0:01:36so we're going to learn how to jump.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39All you need to do, you need to bend your arms and knees and jump up.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But make sure every time you land, bend your knees.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Just like this.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Ta-da!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Jump, knees bent. Got it. What's next?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52To practise doing the tailwhip,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54you can hold your scooter out in front of you and spin it round.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Just like this.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Whoa there, Lewis!
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Easy!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01When you get the feeling of it,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03you can kick it with your back foot and learn to catch it.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Just one more time for me, Lewis.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Thank you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Now you're ready to put them both together to do the tailwhip.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13First of all, you've got to gather some speed, like this.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Once you've got some speed, you need to jump,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17bending your arms and knees and kicking the tailwhip round.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Like this.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Truly epic.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So, let's have a look at that again.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Whoa! Cool moves, Lewis.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Totally awesome.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Eat that, three-year-olds.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31And that is how you be epic at a tailwhip.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Thanks, Lewis.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Where did he go?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39OK, friends, that's the first slab of epicosity over and done with.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41But chill out, there's loads more coming your way.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43From super scooter skills to amazing art,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47here's a drawing trick that will really impress your mates.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Art is brilliant.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Brushes, crayons, paint - you know the score.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And this girl knows how to make your art really stand out.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Hi, I'm Michelle Ackerley
0:02:58 > 0:03:02and I'm going to show you how to be epic at drawing a 3D hand.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Amazing! I love my hands in 3D.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08To do this, you're going to need a large piece of white paper
0:03:08 > 0:03:09- to fit your hand on...- Uh-huh.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10- ..a pencil...- Yeah.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- ..and some different coloured marker pens.- Got it.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15So first of all, you need to get your white paper,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17place your hand on it and with a pencil,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19draw all the way around.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20OK, done it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Once you've got the outline of your hand,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25you need to grab yourself a thick black marker pen.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Draw straight lines
0:03:27 > 0:03:30until you get to your pencil drawing,
0:03:30 > 0:03:31then do a curve,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33and a straight line at the end.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36You're going to repeat this all along your hand.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Yeah, I guess I should have moved my hand first.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Major fail!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And then when you get to the fingers,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45do an individual curve for each of your fingers.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Once you've drawn all your lines on the paper,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50get your different coloured marker pens
0:03:50 > 0:03:52and fill all the white gaps with your colours.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Oh, looking pretty.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58And that's how you can be epic at drawing a 3D hand.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Ah. It's coming at me!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Thanks, Michelle. On we go.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05From magical art to a marine biologist.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Michelle Ackerley doesn't live in a rock pool but if she did,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11this man would show you how to find her.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Hi, I'm The Blowfish and I'm going to teach you how to rock...- Eh?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- ..a rock pool.- Oh, I see!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Low tide is the best time to go rock pooling.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22You'll find loads of weird creatures.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24But the low tide changes from beach to beach
0:04:24 > 0:04:26so you must check before you go out.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30You don't want to get stranded by the high tide and have to be rescued.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Always go out wearing decent footwear
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and take a bucket with you,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37filled with some seawater and some seaweed.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It'll allow you to examine your finds.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Right, let's rock...pool.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43There's some amazing life to be found
0:04:43 > 0:04:46hiding under the rocks of a rock pool.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48So don't be afraid to get in there
0:04:48 > 0:04:50and start checking them out.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53But be careful, some rocks are big and heavy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55If in doubt, get an adult to help you.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Adult - check.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Now, what I'm going to show you now
0:04:59 > 0:05:01is a classic inhabitant of the rock pool.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03You'll find these guys everywhere.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05This is a green shore crab.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06What a looker.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Oh, Blowfish!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Lastly, and most importantly,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13always put them back.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15These creatures live here, this is their home.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18So you must put them back safely
0:05:18 > 0:05:20before you go home to yours.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23And that's how to be epic at rocking a rock pool.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25O-o-o-o-o-oh!
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Thanks, Blowfish.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Let's...leave him to it
0:05:28 > 0:05:30and find out what is still to come.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Our resident king of uselessness shows you how to do this...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37an acting legend reveals his secrets...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39and this girl does this.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42But first, want to live like an epic caveman?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Well, this kid will show you how it's done.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Being a caveman was pretty epic.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Imagine having to live like that!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Luckily, you'll never have to.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Or would you? Picture the scene...
0:05:55 > 0:05:56You're on a scouting trip.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59You've been walking for hours and you desperately need to pee.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01You nip off round a bush.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03But when you come back,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Akela and your fellow scouters have become cavemen.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Huh?- You've gone prehistoric!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10So how do you live like a caveman?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13We've got top actor and history fan Stephen Graham
0:06:13 > 0:06:16to show you how to go from a scaredy scout
0:06:16 > 0:06:17to a courageous caveman.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Firstly, to be caveman...
0:06:20 > 0:06:21or woman, or cavekid,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24you had to know how to live in the wild.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Otherwise, you probably wouldn't even last a day.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32First thing any caveman needs is a place to sleep.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Yay! Bed!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Now you're talking.- Ah!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Oh!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39But finding a place to sleep -
0:06:39 > 0:06:42it's not an easy task. You see,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44if the cave was too wide-open,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47you could be attacked by wild animals at night,
0:06:47 > 0:06:48while you slept.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51GROWLING
0:06:51 > 0:06:52The best place to call home
0:06:52 > 0:06:54would be on the side of a cliff.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58The harder to get to, the safer.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- HE SCREAMS - Or maybe not!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Now, once you're settled,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05you need to start thinking about food.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07A burger for me, please.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- HE SCREAMS - Before you can eat,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12you need to catch something and kill it.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15But to do that, you need tools and weapons.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Ooh!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Right, let's say we've got our animal.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Now what?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Cavemen were very resourceful.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27They wouldn't waste any of the animal.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30The meat would be used as food.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- The bones would be turned into sharper tools.- A-a-ah!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37And the fur would be used as blankets and basic clothing.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38It's like winning the lottery.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Not!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43And finally, the last thing to do
0:07:43 > 0:07:46is to find yourself a caveman family.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Aw-w, I do like a happy ending.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Thanks, Stephen!- Eh!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58So on to the next.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Don't think that you need to know how to act?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Wrong!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Acting is an epic skill that can seriously help you out.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06And to show you how to do it,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09we've got a top Hollywood actor and everything.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12He's been in movies, massive American TV shows
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and now he's going to show you how to use acting
0:08:15 > 0:08:17to get out of a tricky situation.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm David Harewood and I'm going to show you three techniques
0:08:20 > 0:08:22that will help you act your way out of anything.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Awesome!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Picture this - you've broken your mum's best vase,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27she's just come home.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Uh-oh!- You need a straight face.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Give nothing away.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Good plan, David.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Now, you do this by clearing your mind
0:08:34 > 0:08:37and staring straight ahead, like this.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39He knows nothing. Look at him!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Then, your mum asks you right out,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- "Did you break my vase?"- Yes.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Now, at this point, you need to master the innocent look.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Well, how do I do that?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50You need to keep your nose, your mouth and your brow
0:08:50 > 0:08:53perfectly still but you have to open your eyes wide, like this.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Eyes wide open, got it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57"No, Mum. Maybe the dog did it."
0:08:57 > 0:08:59He's definitely innocent.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01And at this point, your mum reminds you
0:09:01 > 0:09:02that the dog is at the vets.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05You need to look confused, fast.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Now, furrow your brow and squint your eyes,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09as if you're thinking really hard about something.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'm thinking I shouldn't have smashed that vase in the first place.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13And if that doesn't work,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16well, you should just come clean and fess up.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20And that is how to act your way out of a tricky situation.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Thanks, David. You're the best.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27From epic actors to a man who is epic in his own unique way.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31If you want to learn a quick trick then get a load of this guy.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35He's the prince of pointlessness, the emperor of the absurd,
0:09:35 > 0:09:36the saint of silliness.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39He's Max Byrne and he's always got a trick
0:09:39 > 0:09:42that's totally useless but brilliant.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45And this time, you're going to need a banana.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Guten tag.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49My name is Max Byrne.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Tss!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And I'm going to show you how to slice a banana
0:09:53 > 0:09:54without even peeling it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Impossible!- Watch this.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Mm-hm.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00- Mm-hm...- There, it's done.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Let's have a look.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05So, how did you do that, Max?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Now, the secret to this trick is a needle and thread.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Of course.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12OK, so you need to get your needle,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and you see the ridges all over the banana?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16You're going to place your needle into that first ridge
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and bring it out as close as possible
0:10:18 > 0:10:19to the next ridge on the banana.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21And then you're going to place the needle
0:10:21 > 0:10:23as close as possible to that hole,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25bringing it out the next ridge.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27And you're going to keep going around the banana
0:10:27 > 0:10:28till you get to the last hole.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30And you're going to bring the needle out
0:10:30 > 0:10:32the exact same hole you started on.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Then grab the two pieces of thread...
0:10:35 > 0:10:36..and pull like that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Continue to do that alongside the banana, about 1cm apart,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and you've got yourself one sliced banana.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Let's see what we got.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Useless but brilliant.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54And that's how you slice a banana without peeling it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Now, split!- Thanks, Max.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59OK, time for one last blast of epicness
0:10:59 > 0:11:01and this is a big one.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04We're going to show you how to make a cloud!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Clouds are epic.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I mean, what are they? Look at them!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14They're weird but how cool would it be to make your own one?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17You don't think it's possible? Uh-uh!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Science genius Fran Scott
0:11:19 > 0:11:23has mastered the elements like some sort of crazy science wizard.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Hi, I'm Fran Scott
0:11:25 > 0:11:28and I'm going to show you how to make the perfect cloud.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Yes, please.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32You'll need a fizzy drinks bottle, a foot pump,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34some nail varnish remover, some scissors,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- an old inner tube...- Classic.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- ..and something to cover your eyes. - Safety first!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Take your bicycle inner tube...
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And you want the valve from your inner tube.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46So just snip it out,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48like that.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Cos what you want to do is put your valve through your bottle top.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56Now, make sure that it fits nice and snugly in your lid.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Because when this lid is on your bottle,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01you want it to be as airtight as possible.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Got it. What's next?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04What we're going to do
0:12:04 > 0:12:08is pour a little bit of nail varnish remover into the bottle.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Pop your lid on and shake your bottle!
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Yeah, shake your bottle!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16So this is evaporating the nail varnish remover,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18turning it into a gas.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20# Ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba! #
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Oh, back to clouds.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Pop your pump on the bottle
0:12:24 > 0:12:26and then you're going to pump air into it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Now, get an adult to help you with this bit
0:12:28 > 0:12:30cos it can be pretty dangerous.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Mum!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Oh, as you go on, it gets more and more difficult,
0:12:35 > 0:12:36as you go on.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Then, you want to take your lid off your bottle.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Like...
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Whoa!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48And that is how to make a cloud in a bottle.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Pretty good, Fran.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52But do you have anything more epic up your sleeve?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Now we are going to make a massive rain cloud.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And even make it rain.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Yes, let's do this. What do we need?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02To make this happen, I'm going to need a friend.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Meet Dr Nate...- Hi!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Hi, Nate.- ..and his liquid nitrogen.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Hi, liquid nitrogen.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10And to that, we're going to add some really hot water.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13And when the hot water hits the liquid nitrogen,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15that's when you'll see a cloud.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18And this is going to be really epic.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Oh, I can't wait.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Are you ready, Nate?- I'm ready.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Three, two, one...
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Go.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Epic!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Again please! And the slower, the better.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35It is actually raining.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Fran. Where are you, Fran?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Fran?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42And that is how you make an epic cloud!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Thanks, Fran.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Now, how do you make it sunny?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Right, that brings us to the end
0:13:48 > 0:13:51of 15 minutes of totally random epicness.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53You should now be able to try this...
0:13:55 > 0:13:57..and this...
0:13:57 > 0:13:58that...
0:13:58 > 0:13:59and that...
0:13:59 > 0:14:00this...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02this...
0:14:02 > 0:14:03and even that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Now, go forth and be epic at everything!
