Reverse bicycle... for a goal... in a professional soccer league (albeit Mexico). Do you have any idea how many hours Rhett and I wasted in high school trying to successfully pull this s#*t off? Well, probably only like 3 or 4 in reality, but it seemed like many, many more. Anyway, hats off to this gentleman.

Reverse bicycles are easy. I've done it hundreds of times.
3 or 4? Dude, it was easily 3 or 4 HUNDRED! I still remember pulling one off at halftime of a JV game at Indian Hill. Maybe my finest soccer hour.
I actually did score on a reverse bicycle one time in a game!
1988: 8th grade year playing for St. Matthews 7th-8th grade team against St. Thomas.
We were absolutely crushing them. I already had 3 goals and was still in the game because Mr. Klawitter did love to run it up a bit! It wasn't as pretty as the clip on a full cross. A cross came and deflected of a defender behind me. I turned around and caught the ball after it's first bounce and bicycled it into the back of the net from about the penalty spot.
I remember just laughing, and then I saw Mr. Klawitter running down the sideline toward me. He looked mad, and then I saw that he was actually going crazy! He took me out after that.
