When it comes to football skills, everyone knows what Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin is capable of–especially when it comes to his blazing speed. However, it appears Austin has another set of skills most fans probably weren’t aware of when it comes to riding a bicycle–and it’s just as awesome as it sounds.

The Rams wideout decided to show off his bike skills to his Instagram followers on Tuesday by riding down a street on one wheel. Unfortunately, Austin’s speed while riding one wheel on the bike doesn’t quite match his speed on the football field just yet, but it’s safe to say Rams fans are alright with that as far as safety is concerned.

One of the benefits of social media is seeing these types of hilarious posts by professional athletes off the field and it’s nice to see Austin having a little fun before training camp gets underway in a few weeks. Expectations are high for Austin heading into his fourth year as many believe this could be his big breakout season after all of the explosive plays he displayed in 2015–both as a wideout and returner.

Plus, Los Angeles fans have been waiting quite some time for a football team to return to the area–meaning Austin’s speed could play a major factor when it comes to the Rams winning over the hearts of their new city.
