PARIANGAN, Indonesia - Waves of muddy water slosh over the jockey as he hangs on to the tails of a pair of bulls galloping across the rice paddy.
It's a wet-and-wild ride in this remote pocket of Indonesia's Sumatra Island, where traditional bull racing known as Pacu Jawi is serious business.
Andri Majoni would be a senior citizen in most professional sports, but the 42-year-old jockey has no plan to give up racing, despite plenty of bruising tumbles over the decades.
