A specialised racing contest was held in eastern Indonesia, where farmers were competing to see who could plough their rice fields fastest using their oxen. <br /><br />Footage of the event filmed in Probolinggo, East Java on March 9, shows men driving their ox-ploughs at great speed across a flooded rice paddy, with some losing their balance and nearly flipping through the air. <br /><br />The race is held normally before the start of each planting season and is considered unique to the farmers of the Probolinggo area in Indonesia as a festival.
