Is This Trick-Shot Real or Camera Trick?

So much can be done with the camera and special effects using computer software, I wonder if this is really true what I am going to share with you today. Borussia Dortmund mid-fielder Nuri Sahin and goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller pull off something amazing and yet speculative. I guess this trick shot is for kids to believe.
Both of them are traveling in two different buses on a highway with their doors open. While Weidenfeller is in the bus ahead of Nuri’s, Nuri holds the ball and kicks it out the door which hits the wall of an overpass. The ball bounces ahead entering the door into Weidenfeller’s hands, which certainly makes it a trick shot. But is it for real? Maybe this was shot for Pogo television. The video was posted 3 days back and it has received 679,706 views already.

Top-level comments on this article: (3 total)It looks real, but I don't know for sureWhen I saw that first, I wondered if it could ever be possible. The reason is, if the bus is moving, there is no way that you can kick the ball faster than the velocity of the bus, because by the time the ball is out and hits the overpass, considering the bus is moving at about 80 miles an hour, then he has to kick it at about 120 miles an hour (rough estimate). Seems like a trick to me though.
Hmmmm, it would be so easy for that to be faked...I think it is a trick. If they say it's a trick-shot, it means it is not real.
Fake in my opinion!Yea... :-)
