Longest distance covered while doing keepie uppie

What to remember

30 miles, or 48 km: that is how far Dan Magness travelled in 2010 without once letting the ball touch the ground.

Keepie uppie means keeping a football in the air using the feet, lower legs, knees, chest, shoulders and head. Here the skill was not performed on the spot: he had to keep moving forward while staying in control, mile after mile.

The practice is similar to kemari, a ball game once played at the Japanese imperial court.
