    The public congregates at the foot of the Maunga Pu’i hill, located on the road from Hanga Roa to Anakena beach, to observe a unique extreme sport in the world.

    The young and brave participants wait at the top of this hill naked, with no more protection than a hami (traditional loincloth) and adorned with takona (body paintings), before starting this exciting test.

    This risky game consists of sliding down the hillside, lying on a kind of rustic sled built with two trunks of bananas joined together. At speeds that sometimes reach 80 km/h, the contestants descend to the base of the hill in less than ten dizzying seconds. The winner will be the one who manages to travel the greatest distance from the launch point, thus obtaining valuable points for his team.

    That's it - sounds exhilarating but not something I'd like to take part in.

    Over to you.

    What connects this picture to two European football clubs - and what clubs are they?

    I think they were known as the red bull brigade, or something similar.
