0:00:55 > 0:00:56to show you how it's done.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Paul, and I'm going to show you how to do Around The World.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Whoa! Watch out! - The modern bearing yo-yo like this
0:01:06 > 0:01:07will be best for this trick.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Make sure the loop is tight on your finger before you start.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12You want it attached to your middle finger
0:01:12 > 0:01:14so that it comes off nice and straight.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Inside yo-yo tips, epic!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19To begin your Around The World, turn your palm over,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22holding the yo-yo, and bring it down to your waist.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Bring your arm up nice and quickly,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25releasing the yo-yo as you go.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Take your hand outwards,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30to allow the yo-yo to spin around and outside your body.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31When it's done a full loop,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34give a little tug and it will come right back.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Awesome!
0:01:35 > 0:01:36For multiple Around The Worlds,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38just keep rotating your hand outwards.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Yes!
0:01:43 > 0:01:44And when you get really good,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46you can add in some more moves, like this.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54That isn't Around The World, it's out of this world!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I thank you.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And that's how to do an Around The World.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Thanks, Paul.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06That's lap one on the race to epicness complete.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08But don't slow down, because we are about to master some moves,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10break dance-style.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Hi, I'm Roxy, and I'm going to show you
0:02:14 > 0:02:17how to do a move called the three-step.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Show me, Roxy.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25We're going to start off on the floor in this position.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Your legs are going to be wide,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29and your hands are going to be placed like this.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Legs apart and hands facing outwards.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32What's next?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35From here, you are going to kick your left leg through,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and jump onto your right leg, landing like this.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Next, you're going to switch your leg and hand to the other side.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Finally, you kick your right leg through,
0:02:46 > 0:02:47landing in the first position.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Totally got this.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53This move keeps going in a circle.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57One, two, three.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Ah, that's why it's three-step.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01After some practice, you can speed it up,
0:03:01 > 0:03:02and it will look like this.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Triple epic!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- And that's how you do three-step. - Thanks, Roxy.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Next, get prepared for some extremely epic cuteness,
0:03:13 > 0:03:17because this dog trick is guaranteed to make you go, "Aw!"
0:03:19 > 0:03:24If you think you can't teach an old dog new tricks, well, think again.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Hi, I'm Lucy, and this is my best friend Trip Hazard.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31We are here to show you how to teach your dog to high-five.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35He's wearing a tie! I mean, show us how, Lucy.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Dogs love treats, and we use them to reward good behaviour.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Something like chicken is great because you can break it up
0:03:40 > 0:03:44into really small pieces so your dog doesn't get full too quickly.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Got me treats, what's next?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Before you can teach your dog to high-five,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52you need to teach them to give a paw first.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55To do this, hold a treat inside your closed fist,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57offer your fist to your dog.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59If your dog can't get to the treat with their mouths,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02they'll try to use their paw to open your hand.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05When they do this, give them lots of praise, and let them have the treat.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Good boy. Well done.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11OK, how do we go from there to a high-five, Lucy?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Start to introduce the word "paw"
0:04:13 > 0:04:16when you want your dog to hold their paw out. Paw.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18With lots of practice and repetition -
0:04:18 > 0:04:20good boy, well done -
0:04:20 > 0:04:22your dog will eventually understand
0:04:22 > 0:04:24how to give their paw on hearing the word.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Paw! Good boy.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30High-five is a very similar trick, but it looks a lot cooler.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32To do this, start to change the position of your hand,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36as if giving a high-five, and your dog should follow. Paw!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Aw! What's next?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Then you can swap the word "paw" for "high-five". Ready, Trip?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44High-five.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Good boy!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50After a while, high-five will become like second nature to your dog.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Trip Hazard can even give me tens.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55That is so cool and cute.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57And that's how to be epic at training your dog
0:04:57 > 0:04:58to give a high-five.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Good dog, Trip. Thanks, Lucy.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06That's three dollops of epicness down,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08but there's still loads left.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10You'll learn how to tie those,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12take that, and drive one of them.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15But first, ever wondered how to conquer Mount Everest?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Good, because this kid's here to show you how.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Everest is truly epic.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It's a whopping 8,848m high,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28which is like 2,000 double-decker buses
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- stacked on top of each other. - All aboard!
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Only 30% of people who try to climb it make it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35So how do you do it?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Well, we've got Knowledge King Louis Payne
0:05:39 > 0:05:42to tell you how to reach the world's highest point.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Climbing Everest is not easy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It takes months, even years of preparation
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and you need to be incredibly fit.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52OK, better hit the gym.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Hey!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56And you should be running at least seven miles a day
0:05:56 > 0:05:59with a full backpack on your back before you climb.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Hm, better book in some more gym sessions!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Argh!- Meh!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Once you are good and fit, you'll need to learn how to ice-climb,
0:06:06 > 0:06:10cos Everest is almost completely covered in snow and ice.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Meh!- Huh?
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Argh!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And you'll need some cold weather clothes
0:06:18 > 0:06:21cos it can get as low as -60 degrees Celsius,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24which is very, very cold.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Everest takes at least 70 days to climb.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30When there, you'll spend most of your time
0:06:30 > 0:06:33climbing from Base Camp to four other campsites on the mountain,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36getting used to the lack of oxygen.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Oxygen is overrated, let's get to the top.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Everest can be so dangerous to climb that you can get frostbite
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and sunburnt at the same time.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50And if your fingers and toes get too cold, they turn black.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53But at least I'll get a killer tan, right?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55And because you are breathing a lot through your mouth
0:06:55 > 0:06:57because of the lack of oxygen,
0:06:57 > 0:07:02the sun can reflect off the snow and burn the roof of your mouth.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Sounds great...
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- And then there is the Death Zone. - Death Zone?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I'm guessing that's not a happy place.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12This is anything above 8,000 metres.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14And you can only spend 48 hours there
0:07:14 > 0:07:16because the oxygen levels are so low,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19your body just will not be able to survive.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21But if you make it past this point,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24you are almost guaranteed to make the summit.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Check out that view!
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Now the easy bit, going down.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Argh! Argh! Argh!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33It's actually more risky going down than it is coming up,
0:07:33 > 0:07:38and there's a 3% chance of never even making it off the mountain.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- Ah.- Meh.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41And if you survive all that,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43you've conquered the tallest mountain in the world.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46You just have a four-day trip back to the nearest airport
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and a 15-hour flight back to the UK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Good luck.- Cheers, Louis!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Next, get your cameras and computers ready
0:07:55 > 0:07:58because we're about to add the epic filter to your photography.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Hi, I'm Hannah, and I'm going to show you
0:08:02 > 0:08:04how to do an epic photoshoot.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Hannah combines images to create epic-looking fantasy photos,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and she's going to show you how to do it too.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I always like to pick my background image first.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17So for this shoot, I'm going to use this image
0:08:17 > 0:08:18because I want my background
0:08:18 > 0:08:21to look like my purple fantasy cloud dreamland.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24So pick the image you are going to appear in. What's next?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Next, you need to get clothes and props
0:08:26 > 0:08:27to match the story of your image.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33I've picked my purple silk pyjamas and my pink, fluffy slippers.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37So pick an epic outfit to fit in with your background.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Next, you need to take a photo of yourself.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm in a photo studio,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44but if you are at home you could use a plain wall,
0:08:44 > 0:08:45or a white bed sheet.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Just make sure there's no creases in it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Dad, will you do my ironing?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Next, you need to take your photo.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Most cameras have a self-timer function,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56or you could always get a friend to take your photo on their phone.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59For my shoot, I'm going to be sitting like this
0:08:59 > 0:09:01because I want to be sitting in the clouds.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Aw! Sounds damp! Your PJs will get wet!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Experiment and have fun with your poses.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's important that you pick something
0:09:09 > 0:09:10that's not only comfortable for you,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13but also something that fits with your theme.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Photos done, now what I do with them?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Once you've picked your favourite shot,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21you can put yourself on top of your background.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Hannah is using a computer,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25but there are loads of free apps you could use.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26To cut yourself out,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29you need to dot around the edge of your image like this.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Looking good.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Now I need to put myself on top of my background image.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Ooh! There I am.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38At the moment, you can see I don't quite fit in.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Luckily, in this programme, you can layer in other images,
0:09:41 > 0:09:42a bit like a collage,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45so I'm going to add some clouds...and some bubbles.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47That looks better.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So, once you're in the picture,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52use the tools in your app to blend yourself in.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Ooh, no.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57That's getting a bit better. Maybe if I make myself a bit brighter.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59That's a lot better.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01After a few more tweaks to the collage, how does it look?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Here's my final image.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Looks fantastic!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08And that's how to create an epic photo.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Nice shooting, Hannah.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13So that's some slick selfie skills sorted,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16and now it's time to tackle tangles in your headphones.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Hi, I'm Doug,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19and I'm going to show you
0:10:19 > 0:10:21how to stop your headphones from doing this.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Yes! My headphones ALWAYS do that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24How do I stop it, Doug?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Firstly, get your headphones at the ready.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Headphones, check.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Then place your hand in a rock pose, like this.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32HE IMITATES AN ELECTRIC GUITAR
0:10:32 > 0:10:34You place the buds of your headphones
0:10:34 > 0:10:36in between your index finger and your thumb,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38keeping your little finger sticking out.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Next, loop the wire around your little finger
0:10:40 > 0:10:43back up between your index finger and your thumb.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Seems straightforward.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Loop the wire over the top,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and back down around the front of your little finger,
0:10:48 > 0:10:49forming a figure of eight.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51OK. Got it.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Repeat that four more times,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55or until most of the wire has been used up.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58One, two, three, four.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Take the remaining wire,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and slot it through the middle and then wrap it round to form a coil.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Keep going until you've got pretty much just the jack left.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And where does that go?
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Finally, take your little finger out
0:11:08 > 0:11:12and slot the jack through the bottom loop and tie it off.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- And there we have it.- Sweet.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17You can put these pretty much anywhere and they won't get tangled.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19And to listen to your music, just take the jack out of the loop,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21hold on to both ends, and pull them apart.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Unravels with ease.- No way!
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- And that's how to keep your headphones untangled.- Epic!
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Thanks, Doug.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34There's still one part left in our box set of epicness.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38We are about to learn how to drive one of those extreme machines.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'm talking about monster trucks.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Surely the most epic vehicle going.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Hi, I'm Tony, and I'm going to show you how to drive a monster truck.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Oh, yes! I want one!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You can't buy one. You have to build one.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Build one?! What do I need?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You need a Super Duty truck with a ten-litre engine.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02That's ten times the size of a normal car engine.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04That's epic power!
0:12:04 > 0:12:05What else?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08What really turns your truck into a monster are the wheels and tyres.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11They cost £2,500 each.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13That's ten grand for the wheels alone?!
0:12:13 > 0:12:14I'd better start saving.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16So how do I drive it?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Monster truck has two pedals, one for go, and one for stop.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Just like a go-kart.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23The front and rear steering is done independently.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The front is on a steering wheel, the back is on a joystick.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Two ways to steer? Nothing like a go-kart, then.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Once you have mastered driving a monster truck,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34then you can do epic things like crush cars!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Let's get recycling!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41So how do we crush the cars?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43You have to approach them really slowly
0:12:43 > 0:12:45because the first impact is so intense.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Epic! That's how to crush them.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54What else can you do?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Once you have crushed the odd car or two, then you can jump them.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yes! Bring it on!
0:13:02 > 0:13:05When you're about three metres away from the cars,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07you want to put your foot down, you want to achieve
0:13:07 > 0:13:0930mph to clear five cars.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Swamp Thing? Epic Thing, more like.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21So to drive a monster truck, it's one pedal to go,
0:13:21 > 0:13:22and one pedal to stop.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25You use a wheel for the front, and that thing for the back.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31Approach with caution to crush, and reach 30mph to jump,
0:13:31 > 0:13:32and do it again and again.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36And that's how you drive a monster truck.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Mind the camera, Tony.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Right, that brings us to the end of 15 minutes
0:13:42 > 0:13:44of total random epicness.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You should now be able to do this,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49that, and that,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53this, this,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55and even that.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Now go forth and be epic at EVERYTHING!
