Logriders risk their lives in a rare and dangerous festival in Japan. It's log-riding Japanese style, which makes it far more exciting and a little bit dangerous. The race involves five to six men tumbling over a mountain top on a ten tonne log that comes crashing down a steep slope with no guarantees if the rider will still be on he log at the end of the road.
Logriding in Suwa city, Nagano prefecture is believed to be a sacred ritual which goes back over a thousand years. It is common for a log-rider to fall and be crushed to death by an oncoming juggernaut during the race-- injuries are common and almost inevitable. Most outsiders feel one has to be a little crazy to participate in this unusual sport.
