It's glitzy. It's glamorous. It will always be Pele's move and the rest of the world's to imitate.
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.
