hey im jonah, ive been a lurker for a while, i think this might be my first post. anyways, what are some of your best freestyle moves? describe em! if you have video. post em! i wish there was some type of freestyle competition here in the states, on the nike site they only have that stuff elsewhere. my roomate thinks im an idiot, but whenever i get bored ill dick around and come up with cool moves. I just thought of a new one that im gunna start practicing tomorrow, it may take a little while to learn... wear a baggy shirt...as you are slowly moving with the ball do a small rainbow so the ball goes towards your lowerback.. have your arms holding the bottom of your shirt so you can open it up and let the ball in... as its in you pound it around front with your fist, and have it drop in front as you volley the ball.. i think i may be able to get this after a bit of practice, once i do get it ill post a video. but so far that is the new trick i plan on learning.. how bout you guys?
oh and i guess the newest move i have learned is that one in the newest nike freestyle commercial where the guy balances the ball on his right foot.. puts down his heel steps over with his left foot and kinda scoops it up with that foot... its not perfected yet but soon my friends.. soon. gawd damn college gets boring every now and then when you run out of money.
yeah, thats from And1 tapes. i dont really practice moves or anything, but sometimes you have to do something crazy to get past the defense. just be creative. anything that the defense has never seen will confuse them.
If you've seen the Ronaldinho vs. Stick Figure commercial on nike.com's European website you will see two moves by the stick that I invented. First, I start juggling with my right foot, then I rip my leg off and keep juggling the ball, then I shoot baseball style. The other move that I am working on, but have not perfected in the one where I juggle the ball from my feet to my thigh, then off my head, then I eat the ball and 'heimlich' it back up...haven't gotten it down yet, but I'm close.
My favorite move is nutmegging people. Usually when I do it I don't mean to, but when ever I get someone I always crack up laughing on the field.
That "shirt" move sounds mighty familiar to that Davids trick he does on EA Sports Fifa 2003 on the intro?
Since I play against girls the only thing that might "accidentally" happen to me would be fingernail scratches. lol.
i don't see a girl attacking another girl cuz of a nut meg...the only time i've seen woman fight are 2 over-35 ladies clawin' at each other...a sight to behold haha
My favourite move is the Ronaldo/Ronaldinho move where you push the ball out with the outside of your foot, but quickly flick your foot around it to move the ball to the other side.. It just works so well! I also like it when someone plays the ball through to me just behind me, and i scoop the ball over my head with the outside of my foot to tee it up for a volley.
heal quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by nopheer I also like it when someone plays the ball through to me just behind me, and i scoop the ball over my head with the outside of my foot to tee it up for a volley. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of hitting it with the outside of your foot(since it will slow your run) try hitting the ball with your heal. this way you will keep your running speed up it just takes a little bit of timing and noone expects it because it doesnt even look like your going to bring it over. but with the outside of your foot...its a little obvious your doing something so a smart defender would back up a bit and keep a good cover on you.hit with the heal and you could get the defender to commit on something he thinks he's sure of....just a suggestion...you should try it and see how you like it. it takes some practice getting control off the heal for it though its not as flat as the outside of your foot
I could do, but it'll take a lot of effort to practice (needing someone to pass me the ball to do it), whereas the outside of the foot one didn't need any practice.. and it is very effective no matter who is defending, I can't see anyone expecting me to do it (or anything like it) even if it was maldini.
