This is a valuable skill in football in my personal opinion. Although somtimes I heard it described simply as a party trick, to me it is much more than that. I think this because it develops your touch and your touch can be very important in a match. For example how many times have players given away the ball because they can't trap it properly or control it when it is in the air. I've seen this often in games I have personally played in and ofcourse in football leagues across the world as well as in internationals.
For those who cannot do many kicky uppys they should be practiced on a regular basis, and for those who can the same should apply. Of course it is up to a player whether they want to practice these but I personally find it useful as much touch seems to improve after regular sessions.
The world record for kicky uppys could be found on the Guinness world records website. You can also find many other world records on this site.
