"Ghost riding" becomes "dangerous teen car craze"
Ghost riding — leaving your car in motion while getting out to dance — is "quickly becoming the latest craze among some members of the hip hop culture," reports Canada's CTV. The report says the practice was popularized in the song "Tell me when to go" by California rapper E-40, and is now reaching epidemic levels. The popular rapper chants "Ghost ride the whip," and most of the videos posted online of ghost riding are accompanied by the song. "We wouldn't have done it without the song. If you don't play that song you are not a ghost rider," said Jonathan Lovecchio. "Ghost riding was started not to see people succeed, but to see people fail," Lovecchio said.

"think this is a good thing, it should help to make the human race smarter overall. If people like this get killed and or mamed while doing this, that will take them out of the gene pool."

It is dumb AND dangerous. Any confluence of unforseen factors may result in an injury or death from this activity.

That truck video has been around for a looooong time. Only recently did they edit that music in since it's the popular thing now. In reality, the video has nothing to do with the song.
And the second part of the clip is not ghost riding. It looks like some sort of amature drifting/burnout competition. Notice the banners and cones in the background. Professional drifters do that all of the time... they just don't get run over

'Big Daddy Diggler'
fucking idiots. This reminds me of the craze a few years ago where kids were getting out of their F bodies via the t tops and sitting on the roof while the car was going like 50mph.
