Wild Ostrich Ride in South Africa



Ready for a ride? Well then saddle up, partner, because in Oudtshoorn, South Africa, they don't just eat these crazy beasts, they ride 'em.

Pughy Lewis,
I suppose you were right after all; the scene with the ostrich in Door County was an isolated incident! Way to face your fears my man.

My how things have changed! I'm with MJ on this one: You certainly are master of your domain now that your tragic fear of ostriches is gone.

See you soon!

Definately agree with Molly on that one.... this is a laugh out loud if ever I saw it. Wonder how many tries did it take to get on and stay on? Of course we only see the finished product! Still great shot.
