Episode Synopsis

Get ready for some good ol’ fashioned CHOCOBO RACING! Or, as close as I can get, when I traveled to the Arizona ostrich festival to hop on REAL racing ostriches. And these aren’t cute little chicks we’re talking about—these are gigantic, eight-foot, 40-miles-per-hour racing monsters! I got pecked, stepped-on, and bucked off for an entire day learning how to actually race these birds, then I took on some serious competition in an all out tournament. Learn what it means to “ride an ostrich like a football” and what happens when your bird decides they just don’t feel like finishing the race!
