OK so I know they play football in the streets in favelas in Brazil, but try kicking a ball around most suburban cul-de-sacs in the UK and you’ll soon find yourself shut down and shouted at by some elderly woman concerned about her precious windows/roses/cat.

And even if you were allowed to kick a ball round the streets, you’re limited by the fact that a football pitch needs to be at least vaguely flat.

Despite its name, you don’t actually need a mountain to go mountain biking – as Danny MacAskill here so ably proves.

Shit, you don’t even need to go outdoors to have fun on a mountain bike!

Trials might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s still mountain biking and it’s still better than football.
