    ABC News
    Has anyone else heard of this?
    Ghost riding involves leaving the wheel of a moving car and walking, running, or dancing beside it.

    Fox News showed a few of the videos last night. Some really stupid people out there.
    One clip I seen had a guy get out of his truck, stand on the bonnet, do a little dance and hit a tree :eek:

    "First thing a parent should say to their kid is, 'Don't participate in that activity,'" said Mark Helms, the assistant chief of the Stockton, Calif., police department. "It's extremely dangerous."

    Quote of the year.. :rolleyes:

    Don't really care if they want to do it in deserted parking lots etc, I mean the herd could probably do without these few morons. I do, however, become concerned when they take the activity to the public roads.

    Down with this sort of thing :mad:

    Let them do what they want to themselves. It's not like the gene pool will miss their contribution.

    that is the video I seen. pretty sure he was the guy doing a dance on the bonnet. Must have been a different video. Fox put a few of them up last night.
    It is just looking to be sent to an early grave.

    Think there could be a few aiming for the top spot. All will have tyre marks across their face.

    Invite friends with their cars. Puts a whole new spin on bumper cars (often found at amusement parks)?

    Any clowns that participate in this deserve whatever they get, be it a crashed car or them falling under it and having their skulls driven over.

    Ghost riding is an updated version of car surfing, which has been going on for decades and has killed young people across the country.
    Just love that its been around for decades and has killed...well not even into the hundreds from the looks of that. Yet they are still harping on about it. Any idiot dumb enough to do something like that has already signed their claim waiver imo.

    Yeah, talk about a freak accident. I wonder did it kill him, I would have presumed that it would have snapped his neck but going by the comments on the page hes still kicking.

    That looks awful. That guy is lucky he isn't a ghost for real. Presuming he lived that is.
