Dude on the bike was ANGRY! LOL! That guy must go through a lot of soccer balls. Of course, I did note that he was wearing the same clothes in all those takes. I guess when your 'ball habit' costs you what it does, it really cuts in to the clothing budget.

He must have gotten a huge discount on those purple and yellow balls because he has to have lost a ton of those.

He keeps himself in shape by getting chased....who needs a personal trainer when you have angry vendors and security guards keeping you on youtr toes?

Some of those shots are insane, his accuracy is pretty incredible.

That dude on the bike was an idiot. You have a perfectly serviceable bike, yet you chose to chase him down on foot even though hes got a head start on you.

Take your free ball and go home.

He must have been sponsored by Nike (the soccer balls, the Team 90 Stickers, and his shoes).

Pretty awesome videos. Thanks.

The guy is incredible!

However, I would like the video better if he didn't kick balls at people and run away after.

What are these advertising? Some sort of viral Adidas campaign or something?

Frankly I don't think that Adidas or Nike would support (publicly anyways) some guy kicking footballs at police and random people. I did wonder though since he seemed to have all Nike stuff on...

For the most part he isnt doing anything that horrible. Okay, he kicked a ball through the open door of the police station, or into the back of a couple trucks or through the open window of the air force building (who tried to give the ball back).

I think the guy on the bike was the only really bad one.

Good point. Nike would never associate anything in its ads, viral or otherwise, that was dangerous or ignorant like that

It's definitely a Nike ad. Those people had to sign some sort of waiver or got paid to appear in the video. Probably after the fact, but still...

Anyone know if that guy is a professional soccer player? The first thing I thought was "he's like the Rob Schremp of soccer".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9mi_Gaillard

Rémi Gaillard (born 16 February 1975 in Montpellier, France) is a French prankster . He gained a certain amount of attention in the French media after performing a well-documented series of pranks, including a famous appearance disguised as a Lorient football player in the 2002 Coupe de France final match where he would eventually take part on the celebrations and even greet the then president of France Jacques Chirac. So far Gaillard has appeared in several sport events, TV game shows and even political rallies, normally breaking the security measures easily.

Is it just me or is the big joke of "let's annoy random people in the street" getting really old? Boring. Grow up. Go play real soccer if you feel the need.
