The clip was uploaded in April, but despite attempts to hide his identity, officers were able to identify Males, who had also tagged the video location as Mexico.
Males, of Holgate Drive in Shrewsbury, was arrested and charged that same month.
During a hearing at Telford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, July 30, Males admitted five counts of dangerous driving.
He was fined £199, ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work and given a rehabilitation order.
Males was also disqualified from driving for 18 months and must then pass an extended test.
Following the sentencing, PC Jack Jackson, from Telford's Operational Policing Unit, said: "I want to make it absolutely clear that we will take robust action when we see dangerous behaviour on our roads, including when it's posted online.
'The footage in this case, uploaded by Males himself to Instagram, showed an appalling disregard for road safety.
"His conviction should serve as a stark warning that social media is not a shield from prosecution.
'We have at our disposal a variety of means to identify individuals from social media, even when they take extra measures to obscure their identity, and this serves as proof of the effectiveness of our investigations.
'Dangerous riding doesn't just put the rider at risk, it endangers innocent road users and influences others to copy reckless behaviour.
"If you choose to put lives at risk on our roads you can expect to be held accountable."

Driver caught travelling 20mph over speed limit on village road
A driver has been caught going 20 miles per hour over the speed limit on a village road in Suffolk.

A four-year-old boy has died after being struck by a bus outside a hospital in Kent.

He was taken inside the hospital but died shortly after. His mother, Azaria Green, described her son as a "sweet, funny boy with a cheeky smile", on a GoFundMe page. "Everyone is devastated, but that word doesn't feel like enough to explain how we are all feeling," she wrote. "Our sweet, funny boy with a cheeky smile that could make anyone's heart full. The smile that we can't see again. "I didn't even get to tell you how much I love you."

‘Vigilante' force plans patrols in crime-hit seaside town
'Vigilante' volunteers are planning to carry out uniformed patrols in a crime-hit seaside town. More than 200 residents, including ex-military personnel, security professionals and first aiders, have signed up to the Safeguard Force in Bournemouth. The Dorset town has seen several stabbings and sexual assaults in recent years, including the murders of Tom Roberts, Amie Gray and Cameron Hamilton. The group, set up by Gary Bartlett, a local businessman, has said it will 'protect the most vulnerable in our town – especially women, children and the elderly'. It has vowed to work alongside Dorset Police to make the streets safer, but has yet to be endorsed by the force. Anti-racism campaigners have claimed it will target asylum seekers staying in the town's three migrant hotels. Safeguard Force members have said all volunteers will be required to undergo DBS checks and first aid training, and that the group would be 'non-political and inclusive'. A GoFundMe campaign to buy body cameras, stab vests and radios has raised over £3,000. In addition to patrols, the group is developing a mobile Safeguard App – an SOS-style tool to allow people to quickly request help if they feel vulnerable in public. Volunteers are set to carry out their first patrols on Monday, which will focus on Bournemouth and Boscombe, including the areas' beaches and gardens. Mr Bartlett said: 'We're here to support our community and work alongside the police to make Dorset a safer place for everyone. 'Our volunteers have no more legal powers than any member of the public. We are not a vigilante group, and we do not engage in any unlawful activity.' Mr Bartlett declined to explain whether the volunteers would physically intervene if they saw criminal acts taking place. Dorset Police confirmed that it was aware of the group and had begun discussions with its organisers while assessing 'any risks and opportunities' it might bring to the area. Supt Pete Browning said: 'While the group hadn't engaged with us before launching, we have since reached out to them and had discussions about their plans, policies and process. 'As a result, we have asked to have further discussions with them in relation to their operating model, including reassurances around vetting processes, equipment carried, training provided and safeguarding policies. 'As a partnership, together with our local authority colleagues and others, we are continuing to assess the information, risks and opportunities community groups can bring. Therefore we are not in a position to support or endorse the group or their activities at this time. We will continue to engage with the organiser to ensure that they operate within the law.' The force also pointed to existing volunteering roles such as the Special Constabulary and street pastors, where individuals are trained and vetted to support community safety. Campaign group Stand Up To Racism said it feared the group would target asylum seekers and 'risks fostering division and fear'. A spokesman for BCP Stand Up To Racism said: 'This is a vigilante group, which seems to be targeting refugees and Muslim communities who they suggest are a threat to women and children. 'The presence of uniformed civilians acting on ideological motives risks fostering division and fear, rather than safety.'
