PICS | Chiefs Defender Explores Skateboarding

Kaizer Chiefs' Siyabonga Ngezana on a skateboard.

Amakhosi defender Siyabonga Ngezana shocked when he was pictured riding a skateboard over the weekend. 

Check it out! 

What's the story?

Siyabonga Ngezana took to Instagram yesterday to show off his skateboarding skills. 

The Glamour Boy was the image of cool in his skateboarding element, a sport that he seems comfortable exploring during his down time.

While the rest of his Kaizer Chiefs teammates were recovering from their tricky 3-2 win over a plucky Maritzburg United side, Siyabonga Ngezana was kicking and pushing on a skateboard. 

Like football, skateboarding more than a sport, it's a subculture and a laidback lifestyle that encourages one to take themselves a little less seriously. 

Ngezana dripped out in cargo pants, a Mickey Mouse Mr Price t-shirt, white Nike kicks and accessorised in a bucket hat and small-framed shades to complete his skater look. 

Check it out: 

Ngezana isn't the only footballer who shifts on four wheels. Nottingham Forest attacker Gustavo Scarpa once told Soloskatemag.com that he fell in love with skating during the COVID-19 pandemic and uses the other half his day to skate after training.

The Brazilian baller even celebrated Palmeiras' Copa Libertadores title by parading his personalised skateboard. He also used to regularly posts videos of himself ripping it up at skate parks in Brazil before moving to the UK.

One of football's most iconic figures, Zinedine Zidane is also now slouch on a skateboard.

In a campaign for Adidas Y3 and Palace Skateboards, Zinedine Zidane flexed his skills with French skater Lucas Puig in a crossover effort between football and skateboarding:

Have your say on Ngezana being pictured on a skateboard... 

Is the Chiefs star kickstarting a new football x skating trend alongside Zizou and Scarpa?
