Log rolling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the voting practice of trading votes, see logrolling.

Log rolling is a traditional lumberjack contest, involving logs in a river (traditionally) or other body of water. The contest involves two lumberjacks on each end of a log floating in the river. One or the other starts "walking" (or "rolling") the log, and the other is forced to keep up. The contest involves attempting to stay on the log while attempting to cause the competitor to lose their balance and splash into the water.

It's also just as commonly known as log birling.
