I already did it. I went pretty decent except for me using a wrong name when I referenced a bike shop store owner who i did an email interview with. Spent all day working on the road, dodging cars, and rehearsing for roughly 5-6 hours to muck up the name.

I did redo the power points on there from what they were.

1st slide remained unchanged. 2nd slide is the 3rd slide except I added what is my avatar to the side. 3rd slide I got rid of "clipless pedals keep you clipped" and moved water up and then added "Preperation" in which I demostrated a CO2 tank hitting up an intertube (intertube off the bike). 4th slide is the last slide except I removed "Chick's dig scars". My 5th slide said "Let the lessons of the trails rule your life" and blabbed about pushing forward, never giving up and blah, blah, blah. And since the teacher mentioned "end with a bang" as a very big deal I mentioned how mountain biking also teaches you humility. Then said how you can do a fun, downhill, dangerous run to end up falling in front of your buddies by not unclipping and then fell over.

The teacher loved the falling over part so I guess I'm good there.

I now have to do a persuasion speech. I felt like doing it on persuading business owners who are serious about their business to fire anyone who comes in with a power point presentation. I rather have someone up there with a blank chalkboard and chalk drawing out the chart and formulas used instead of some fancy picture jacked from "Google Images".
