Heavy Lifting

I took a video of this team of guys practicing for a festival that would start the week after we left Shikoku. They have to lift up this heavy portable shrine and carry it and then push another team down. Here in the video they are practicing against a mattress in a pick-up truck. I found it rather interesting. They were practicing on the covered shopping street after most of the shops had closed down. Many people stopped to watch and cheer them on.
