This video was forwarded on to me from my dad via mail and titled whoisthisguy.wmv! And I have to echo that question! Who the heck is this guy???
Seriously these are some of the most amazing soccer skills I’ve ever seen, no matter how many takes they scrapped while making this little video. This guy kicks a soccerball through a rolling tire, over a street to hit a beercan, and even throws something in the air and pegs it with the ball in mid-flight! Again, I’ve never seen anything like it…
It takes more than just skills to play PRO football. So Ken I don’t think he is good enough to play PRO.
I first thought this had to be some kind of trick, but I found a few more videos of this guy doing some amazing and really funny things with a soccer ball. He is basically the French equivalent to Johnny Knoxville or Steve O. Here is the link to one of his other videos. He really likes to mess with the French police. He’s pretty crazy. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5ppy6_foot-2008-remi-gaillard_fun

Thanks Ryan! :)
Pretty impressive skills. And you are right how many take does not matter. The shopping cart trick was my fav. Wonder if he actually plays for a pro team.
His name is Remi Gaillard and is a French prankster. He gained 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, during which he took part in the winner’s celebrations and was even greeted by the then president of France Jacques Chirac. here are all his videos – http://www.nimportequi.com/en/
Okay John, you’ve gone and found the next Dallas Cowboy’s field-goal kicker. Call Wade and Jerry, let’s get this guy signed up!
OMG, dude! That is so awesome! Sending this off to my big brother, who is my soccer hero! ;)
Oh my God. He has some serious talent. The ball is bang on target, superb stuff.
The best thing is the way the balls swings and hits where its supposed to be going.
