Pacu jawi

Pacu jawi is a traditional sport in Indonesia that involves cows and farmers. The cows are connected to a plow and the farmers ride behind them. The goal of the sport is to run as fast as possible through a muddy field.

But there's a twist - the farmers don't ride on a saddle or any kind of other support. They just hold onto the cow's tail and run with them! This makes it a really challenging and dangerous sport - if the farmers lose their grip, they could fall and get hurt.

Pacu jawi is a really popular sport in some parts of Indonesia because it's so exciting to watch. People cheer and shout as the cows and farmers race through the field. But it's important to remember that this sport can be risky and should only be done by experienced farmers who know how to work with their cows safely.
