The Ghost Riding Phenomenon
“The mixture of automatic trannies and low cost beaters ruling the road in America has lead to a rise in a new car lover phenomenon: Ghost Riding… Ghost Riding (or Ghost Riding The Whip) is a new trick whereby you put the car in drive, jump out, roll around the hood and climb from the front end to the rear by way of the rooftop. It’s not TOO dangerous since a car in drive generally doesn’t get above about 25 MPH. But, as we will see, plenty can go wrong. Like most stupid things, you have to try it once to understand its appeal. And of course, these days, YouTube is filled with examples of the hobbyists who are taking up the sport and trying to drive it to the next level: professional competition. Let’s have a look at some of the pioneers of this budding new pastime and see if we can spot some of the AMOG amateurs ready to go Pro.” w/ videos
