Soccer Ball World Records

Max kicked a soccer ball backwards into a mini goal from 126 feet away.

Brian Pankey walked 100 yards while wearing swim fins and juggling four soccer balls in three minutes and one second.

Laurent K. performed a one-mile keepie uppie in nine minutes, 47.00 seconds.

Raz, a border collie, trots up to a wooden equestrian cross-country table in a grassy field in Melbourne, Australia, crouches at its base and scrambles onto the top, where a red-and-white soccer ball is waiting. Standing on the tabletop, he paws the ball over the front edge and it drops to the grass below. Timed frame by frame from the video, 1.2 seconds pass between his push off the ground and the ball leaving the table. The jump is built for horses; Raz handles it like a step.

Raz, a border collie, waits at the mouth of a blue dog agility tunnel in a backyard in Melbourne, Australia, at night, with a tennis ball in his mouth and a red soccer ball just inside the entrance. He dives in, pushes the ball the full length of the tunnel out of the camera's view, and pops out the far end as the ball rolls on into a mini soccer goal. Timed from the video, from the first frame with Raz standing still to the moment the ball is in the net, the run takes 5 seconds. Part agility run, part shot on goal.

Raz, a border collie in Melbourne, Australia, leaps a timber rail to chase a red-and-white soccer ball, then turns and dribbles it back across the grass. He rolls the ball beneath the rail and jumps over after it, completing the out-and-back in 9 seconds, timed from the video from his outward takeoff to his return landing. The ball takes the low road; Raz takes the high one.

Nancy Mendelsohn put on two swipes of blush, two swipes of mascara and lipstick in 26.13 seconds while balancing on a soccer ball.

This record was set as part of Toyota Prius Records, a two-day event streamed live on the Internet. In a 48-hour period, URDB officials adjudicated 200 Prius-related world records. This was the most records ever documented in a 48-hour window, a world record in and of itself. The event took place in Los Angeles, California on March 30th and 31st, 2011. See all the records set at the event here.

Tomáš Lubelec kicked five soccer balls into a goalpost crossbar in 9.00 seconds.

William Cain kicks a soccer training ball on a cord straight up in his Melbourne living room and jumps to meet it with his head on the way down. Counted frame by frame, the ball leaves his foot and lands on his head 22 frames later, 0.73 seconds at the video's 30 frames per second. Blink and you'd miss the whole thing.
