Keepy ups.
So i was in a pub tonight for a pint, when some ****er comes over to us and says "who wants to take part in a keepy uppy competition" - my mates all put me forward, i paid a pound, and sat back.
Now this pub is right next to a club... its the same place sort of, so its full of Jack the lad types.
Jack the lad i am not.
I begin to feel nervous, and worry about whats going to happen.
It then gets worse. They are doing said keepyups, inside, in front of everyone, with a plastic flyaway ball.
It gets worse still. Its a shoes off affair.
Whys that so bad?
I have no socks.
Yeah.
So, i borrowed my friends socks. (Desperate times, desperate measures.)
I step up. The guy tells me i have 1 minute to practice, then 2 minutes to actually try it.
I start practicing. **** me i did shit. I could barely put two together.. horribly. In no time he tells me i have 3 seconds to begin.
I panic
I begin keeping up.
From nowhere, i actually decide to not buckle under the immense pressure and on my first attempt i get 45 keepy ups. Im personally quite happy considering ive been drinking, im wearing someones elses socks, and if i spill any of the pints on the tables either side of me, i'll get a kicking.
Its this point im told its total number of keepyups in 2 minutes, not longest concecutive.
Talk about choke.
Anyway, in 2 minutes i ended up with 130 which isnt bad. Was leading for a couple, but some legend/arsewipe somehow nailed 220 keepyups in 2 minutes (not convinced this is possible)
I think my hearts still racing, ive not been that nervous since i nearly got kicked out of school for brandishing a knife

Re: Keepy ups.
Like your story it made me chuckle, and well done with getting 45. I can only get about 3 on the best of days.

Re: Keepy ups.
i believe, a step up from neds.
more of an aggressive townie type.
in the grand scheme of stereotyping things.

Re: Keepy ups.
What in the **** did i just read?
Is "keepy-ups" when you juggle a football with your feet? Why did you enter this contest? Why were you so keen to succeed? Who the hell does this shit in a pub?
Yeah so basically i'm just saying "what".

Re: Keepy ups.
You have a football (soccer ball) and kick it in the air, and as it comes to land, kick it up again. It isn't allowed to touch the round, you have to keep it up. You can use your chest, your feet, your knees, or your head to knock it up. That's it really.
I'm absolutely dire at it though. I think my record ever ever ever ever was like... 5.
Pld on getting 130, there's no way I'd be that good.
This is a great day in the ongoing war between nerds and jack-the-lads.

Re: Keepy ups.
I can do +200 with a proper ball but doubt i could do anywhere near that many with a fly-away, so good effort on the 45 .

Re: Keepy ups.
Real men have darts contests.
Though we always lose. Except that one time that I finished a 110. Sadly it was probably the crowning achievement of my life so far.

Re: Keepy ups.
I wasnt half ****ing pleased with myself, i tell thee. My mates were all watching and cringing because in the minutes practice beforehand i did 6 in a row - and that was my top.
Nailing the 45 wasnt half ****ing cool, especially considering the situation. Dunno how many i could do outside in shoes with a proper ball though, maybe 75-100 on a good day.

That little Austrian kid is awesome for his age :eek:. Leshy aint half bad either, but it seems the Canadians have best people on there.
Have you ever seen that Chinese/Japanese/somewhere over there bloke who has the world record for kick ups? He puts Ronaldinho et al to shame.

Re: Keepy ups.
When I was at school they always use to demand I went into goal, and then they moaned when I let all the balls into the net. Talk about wanting to have their cake and eat it.

I cannot express in words what an absurdly stupid name "keepy ups" is.

I was always terrible at keepyups but I recently found out that I might not have 3d vision so that could explain why.

Perhaps something that doesn't sound like a game a two-year-old would play.
