Subject: British PE Teacher breaks world reord for longest throw in

British PE teacher and former gymnast Danny Brooks has set a world record for football's longest throw-in.

The Yorkshireman had his record throw of 49.78m - equivalent to half a football pitch, or five double-decker buses - confirmed and verified by Guinness World Records, beating the old record of 48.17m that had stood since 1998.

The key to the amazing throw is Brooks's forward flip while holding the ball, after which he launches it with both hands from behind his head - ensuring that the throw remains within the rules of the game.

"I used to be a gymnast and realised I could do a flip while holding the ball," Brooks explained.

"I thought that if I could get the angles and the timing right I could break the record."

Awesome!

We have a guy who can do that - nowhere as far. It's amazing! n.b - I can throw it about thirty meters on a good day utilising a rolling breakfall - speedier forward roll - which is fun.

I can throw it about thirty meters

A baseball ball? :P

football

tottenham keeper gomes can throw it further:P

but not in a throw-in correct way

Seen one like that before, think it was a goal without touching anybody.

Not a real throw in though tbh.

His 2 foot are on the ground so i guess it's a regular throw?

this should become a regular way of throwing in. I would love to see this animated in sokker :)
