Greatest Human Bicycle Kick

A bicycle kick (also known as a chalaca, chilena, bicicleta, or overhead kick, in South Africa is a popular 'mokanangwana' or 'scisors kick') is a move in association football, which is made by throwing the body up into the air, making a shearing movement with the legs to get one leg high overhead to reach the ball (in original head height), which gets kicked backward over the player's head. It is said to have been developed by Brazilian player Lêonidas da Silva. Dunno who is this Lêonidas da Silva? Try ask ur friend...GOOGLE



In last Sunday's (sorry a little bit late..i now in exam mode) Argentina Primera Division match between Gimnasia La Plata and Boca Juniors, something happened that probably hasn't happened before and we probably won't see again. After the ball deflected off a Boca defender, Gimnasia's Sebastian Romero and Marco Perez (who are they? anyone of you know this player?) both executed bicycle kicks at the same time to score a goal. Trying to figure the odds on both players executing overhead kicks in unison to put the ball in the back of the net is enough to make your head hurt, especially considering Perez had to scramble to his feet in order to get there. Their kick style  reminds me Captain Tsubasa's special twin shot along Taro Misaki. Again..GOOGLE it if you dunno.

 Human Bicycle Kick  Free Tutorial By ME!

After you all watching the video clip, i'm sure that you all also want to do the same kick right? Let me as the professional player teach you.. XD
  1. Keep your back to the target and your eyes on the ball.
  2. Bring the knee of your non-kicking leg toward your chest followed immediately with the same motion of your kicking leg. The movement of your legs will appear as if you're pedaling a bicycle backwards.

  3. Extend your kicking leg to meet the ball while you're airborne and falling backwards.

  4. Pedaling down with your non-kicking leg, kick through the ball.

  5. Pull your toes back so your ankle makes a right angle as you connect with the ball.

  6. Extend both arms and your palms facing the ground behind you to brace yourself.

  7. Watch the knee of your kicking leg until you're on the ground to insure that you don't hit your head.

BTW, why this kick style named Bicycle Kick? Lêonidas da Silva got bicycle shop or what? I think it is should named human kick because human kick the ball, not bicycle..haha
