Last week, when a very intoxicated Justin Bieber was pulled from a yellow Lamborghini and arrested, we assumed that Justin Bieber’s athletic interests only covered two bases: Ab crunches and drag racing. But as details of the Biebz’s arrest became public, we learned that he’d spent that fateful day smoking weed, playing basketball, and skateboarding. Naturally, we were intrigued, and we scoped out his Instagram for proof—and stumbled across a treasure trove of Justin Bieber being really, really bad at sports. Here were some of our favourite selections.

Basketball

Let’s save the finest for… first. This video, taken on the day of the arrest, depicts the Biebs dressed up in Tyler the Creator-esque knee socks while he dribbles between his legs, performs the world’s worst crossover, then posts up against Mack Maine (who we can only assume is being paid to stand there like a dolt).

Here’s Bieber hypnotizing the D with his magnificent dribbling abilities.

And when it’s all over, he turns to the camera all like, “NOW WHAT!” Thanks to AUX’s own Tyler Munro for whipping up these .gifs, as always.

 

Snowboarding

Bizzle might be carving the shit out of a bunny hill, but he’s also carving out a little space in our collective hearts.

 

Swimming

If his picture-perfect backstroke is any indication, Biebz totally aced his level red swimming exam.

 

Hockey

Justin Bieber has had a long, complicated relationship with hockey. While the above vid shows him dancing up a storm on skates, the hockey world has shown him no love: Last week, the Dallas Stars openly mocked the singer on their Jumbotron. The Boston Bruins, meanwhile, have Bieber-proofed their logo. But his favourite team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, have been far more sympathetic, and even allowed him to participate in team practises. Here’s Bieber getting stoned by then-Leaf goalie Jonas Gustvasson.

Ain’t it adorable?

 

Golf

Apparently, Justin’s better at pool than he is at golf.

 

Skateboarding

If there’s one sport Justin Bieber loves, it’s skateboarding. His Instagram is loaded with videos of him at the skatepark, including the terribly cut (and potentially faked) video of him pulling off a 50-50 above.

Next, he ollied a wholly respectable five steps.

Next, a boardslide. As if to remind you that yes, indeed, the dude can pull off the trick, this video’s in slooooooo-mo.

And just to prove the previous video isn’t a fluke, here’s another vid to back up Bieber’s skills.

But of course, he’s no one trick pony (or HORSE). Here, he also proves that he’s mighty adept at dropping into a half-pipe.

But one thing he can’t pull off, apparently? A kickflip.

But of course, never one to get discouraged, he finally pulls off a varial kickflip (by accident, most likely).
