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. “They want to see people run into trees, run over their foot.” Some videos of “ghost riding” are available after the jump for your entertainment…
How can that be cool? Ive done stupid stuff like that before, but I never thought it was sooo cool. Dumb. People are dumb.
My oh’ my our youth… This country is doomed in 50. We want have any intelligent people to run it. Well, its been fun….
Another reason why time is running out for the human civilization. Darwinism at its finest.
Look at all the retards!
I 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.
Okay, I just lost a few minutes of my life watching those. For some reason, I was thinking that the cars were traveling faster. They’re going like 2-3mph. Big whooptydo.
Remind me to stay the F away from Milpitas Square at night. (Video #3)
Let Darwin work on this one… it’s self-correcting.
Staight Up Plain Stupid.
Retards have gone to a whole new level of retardation that now needs investigation.
Natural selection - kicked into high gear!
noticed how people who do the ghost ridin are not car enthusiast
real shame
Jon, how are you? Just wondering…
Wow, what a moron-athon…
That sixth video depicts such stupid movements, but I’m not the least bit surprised these same jackasses are shoving Mexican flags out their car windows and screaming in Spanish. I expect that kind of behavior from trash like that.
One should not be surprised, we are talking about Americans here.
I live about 1hr north of Phillie and 1 1/2 southwest of NYC…my town is TINY. there is nothing at to do at all. in High School the cool place to be on friday night was Walmart. No one does this. I think things are grossly exagerated…epidemic levels…really??!?!? I think its just ppl being stupid.
[...] This is going to get the Red Tops crazy. “Ghost Riding”, aka being dumb. Watch them kiddies flock to it with camera phones in hand. Blame California. “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.”More here [...]
Sensationalism at its finest, right, epidemic, I’ll get right on it.
Video 1 is over 3 years old, before the concept of ‘ghostriding’ even existed. The fourth video is actually kind of funny
One should not be surprised, we are talking about Americans here.
Obviously its not just Americans but Canadians…”reports Canada’s CTV”
Darwin was on to something…
Call me crazy, but I’d rather dance with, you know, women?
In the future (ask me how I know) kids will be laying down on the road like speed bumps and getting run over will be considered extremely cool by the Hip-Hop community - especially if you die on the first try. I even hit a few with my Delorean and I got nothing but applause from the audience.
That totally shows Rap is for idiots, looks like they found fun ways to kill themselfs.
Doc-Brown - that already happened about ten years ago after the release of some football movie (sorry - can’t remember the name of it)… in the movie, it showed football players undergoing initiation lying down in the middle of the road, on the white-striped lines (on the highway no less).
Guess what?? — idiots started imitating the movie, and dumb teens started dying. Eventually, for the VHS release (remember - DVD’s weren’t around yet, lol) they cut that scene from the film.
I just don’t get it. People complain that the generation of my father is what screwed up the world. I can’t wait to see what the world is like in another 20 years. Pathetic.
What’s sad here is that this “ghost riding” concept may just be a small minor issue for the time being, but given few really desperate members of the media looking to hype up anything to come up with a “hot seller” story, this has now officially been endorsed as the “next cool thing”. It doesn’t help either that the kids are so impressionable these days that they can’t differentiate between a plane-ol’ moronic act and the right thing to do. Well guess who benefits in the end and goes home with dough in their pockets… the media!
I really wish the media were careful with the kind of material they make public but that’s what you get for freedom of speech!
Hey, let them do it if they want to. What is so wrong with that? It frees up a lot more parking spaces, lessens traffic, and makes a lot of parts more readily available in the wrecking yards.
U can blame it on rap if u want, but it wasn’t rap in general that started it, if u wanna talk about rap, i can talk about the stupid things people do because of rock.
“I 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.”
Exactly…
thank you, charles darwin!
Theres nothing wrong with letting stupid people kill themselves.
It doesn’t even look cool (check the twats in the Vibe) why would you want to a) wreck your car or b) die while looking like an idiot I’ll never know?
this is for Dodge Stratus or Caliber owners only if your IQ is low enough to buy one of those cars it is low enough to go ghost riding
Thanks. That is the most retarded thing I have seen all day.
This Is Why I Cant Stand This Country Ur Either Ignored 4 Doing The Right Thing,corrupt,or A Fing “dumbass” (-red Forman) No wonder The World Hates Us.
“Go Stupid… Go Dum Dum… Go Stupid… Go Dum Dum” - How fitting
you people are rediculous, I agree that this is stupid but half these visdeos were in parking lots or yards, at very slow speeds, who cares really?? don’t you remember watching’teen wolf’ and seeing the surfing on top of the van, i’m sure we can blame that on some deaths too.
The guy in the z51 got no less than he deserved
Rc I Agree 2to3 Mph Dancing Aint Gonna Really Hurt U Ull Just Dumb But Point Blank And Point Blank Is Imo Someone Will Try This Outside The Lots Like Drifting And Will Get Hurt Or Killed Imean Being An D.a Aint New I Saw A Igga On Cops Ghost Ride While Stealing A Car To Getaway That igga Got Hurt In More Than One Way If U Get My Drift
Why?I have never seen such a shocking craze that has been influenced by terible music.
Somewhat True
Ladies and gentlemen, I present Ghost Drifting:

Jon.
You sound like some old snobs. This is a stunt performed by kids that just like in previous generations is a new fad that will die out in time. Personally I wouldn’t do this, and yes I’m a black male from California, but to hear all these old petrified geezers whining and complaining, is beyond me. Yea this is the indicator that the country is going down the tubes, not the problem with health care, rising gas prices, a sliding global positioning, or a lame duck President, nope it’s ghost ridiing a car. Get a grip, and get back into reality, and let’s see you guys bickering back and forth about important things in your life, like which is better bmw or mb, losers.
Touch ma ‘fro dude, you mean get black to reality
Umm Okay So Im Black Too And I Live In B-more City And Yes Ive Seen The Idiots At Power And How Teh Govt Has Screwed The Nation To All Be Damned But That Isnt The Topic Right Now U Wanna Talk Politics And How To Fix This So Called Nation N World Holla At Me
ghostriding the whip is a stupid ass activity, no quarrels from me about that but c’mon. they even say that in the song “Go stupid, go dumb dumb” these folks are aware that there is risk involved just like doing a double back flip on a dirt bike(travis pastrana) Anything seen on jackass(dumbasses) and my personal favorite, skydiving, who the f#@k thinks it’s cool to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! these are individual acts of stupidity, that has nothing to do with hip-hop so quit tryin to blame hip hop for all the ills of America, we have Bush, um excuse me Chaney for that all ready, he shot somebody so lets blame whatever the hell they listen to in wyoming for that!!!
You are looking at the next generation of automotive workers.
The bay has been doing this for a while. These kids don’t even know what the hell it is. Come to East Oakland and you will see how it is done.
Ddd Any Vids?
Deer have been doing something similar to this for years. Unfortunately they scare the crap out of the humans driving…
Why are you guys complaining? This is population control at its finest.
those people and anyone else doing this are completly stupid and should not be allowed to have a vehicle. Driving is a privlage not a game.
people need to grow up…
maybe this is a bold new street trend that Mark Fields can latch onto to sell more Fords
This kind of stuff makes street racing look admirable. I am so glad I never found something like dancing on top of a moving car as cool.
you call that dancing? lol
Whoa so many poser retards
Dumb
But I am out all of the time at car events and shows all of the time and have yet to see this.
But watch this hit National News and then it will be everywhere.
You know what, I’m not surprised that this is happening in U.S. Those speed limits are so ridiculously low that people just don’t know what to do in order not to fall asleep.
The world’s best at this motorsport right here:

now i im gonna act my age and say that the first one was the best becasue he got F’ed up, that fire hydrant wasn’t cheep
I must say the ghost drifting was the funniest one.
Stupid people.
Thats the stupidest thing ive ever seen
[...] I was just “ghostriding some forums” when I came across this hilarious post on Left Lane News. It’s a post about Hyphy, and how it’s a dangerous craze sweeping the nation… It links to, like, 5 YouTube Hyphy videos. The funniest thing are the comments. These people actually are convinced this is widespread… instead of a veritable handful of videos filmed in Bay Area High School parking lots. They’re all like… “this trend is so stupid!” Well, duh, they only refer to hyphy gatherings as “going stupid” and “riding the short bus.” I was gonna tell them that most of them knew nothing about hip hop, and needed to shut up, but then decided it wasn’t worth it. [...]
some of these posters are as assinine as the ghost riders. maybe worse.
Typical for LLN. It’s hardly worth the look anymore.
LLN if you are listening, clean up this site or it’s going to die and that would be tragic.
Fatstrat makes some of the dumbest comments going, he’s advocating getting himself cleaned up
This “sport” should be encouraged in Oakland, Compton South Central LA, Harlem
[...] Ghost riding: Newest craze, or best arguement for abortions yet? - Crunk. [...]
What a bunch of losers.
THAT **** FUN
It’s not 50 years till implosion of the planet.Try 15.THAT estimate is probably overly generous.Back to my earlier observation…the Boomers were/are the cream.
Wiggerfest.
wow, i didnt know people who were in old peoples homes got internet access…go back to bingo
All my university professors are Boomers.Generally,for the most part,they are quite fascinating.People like yourself are dumb as a post.Watch Leno hit the street asking general knowledge questions.9 out of 10(usually 10 out of 10) people don’t know if the Korean War was before or after WW II.The Boomers are the people partying in Monte Carlo.People like you are the ones spreading herpes among each other when you go back to your 25 person suite after meeting on a concrete floor.
After the Boomers(with some rare exceptions in gen x and y)I think most people will agree,each generation that followed became confoundingly stupider and more braindead.This display shows exactly what I mean.
Bill Gates was reading books on a beach during vacation(s).He now has more money than he can spend,or his family can spend,or their kid’s families,or their kid’s families…
Come on guys lighten up you were once dumb and stupid, or did you forget. Every generation thinks that the ones behind them are ruining the world.
You’re all getting pretty high and mighty about this considering that while they’re dancing on top of empty cars going 3-4mph, you’re WATCHING them and COMPLAINING about it like you’re the pinnacle of evolution even though we all know you’ll be spending the next 4 hours watching more youtube and complaining about every single clip.
…Then God created the CLUTCH…
Hope this gives a lesson to the States that Automatic cars are not better
I’m not sure how a clutch could prevent this behavior, Rod. I drive a manual (as every real man does) and can ghost ride at 40 mph (which is the proper way to do it).
These mooks can’t figure it out. They idle in drive, then run along beside their car, which is going a whopping 3 mph. No, that’s not awesome. The first guy was close. You need to be on a road devoid of other cars, you need to be breaking the speed limit, and you need to be on top of your car dancing. That’s how it’s meant to be done.
Also, you should be nude. Now get out there and improve the genetic makeup of our society!

why? why is anyone doing this? why would anyone come up with this concept?
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Delayed development with evidence of mild to moderate mental retardation.Failure to thrive.
Hey fast Eddie,I was kicked up in elementary school until the age difference started to pose social barriers.I was too young to be in the higher grades.
HST would’ve written a column about this if he were alive. And he would’ve called all people in the vids except for (maybe) the first guy “pathetic”.
On the other hand the first guy could easily kill somebody (besides himself)…
Hey Kids, this is NOT cool! Think of half-a-buck or whatever his name is, getting shot nine times, THAT is cool! That is how you get hip-hop cred, so borrow your fathers gun, take all your hip-hop friends to the park and take turns blasting caps into each other. Remember - nine times equals a record deal so bring plenty of ammo!

I’m a Yay area Ghost Ryder! yea thats rite! i ghost ryde! YEEEEEEEEEEEE!
[...] Ghost Riding. Amusing video. Stupid teenagers. Glad I’m not one anymore. [...]
its not half as bad as drunkdriving the whip.. or even hippieflipping the whip.. is it smart… na probably not… are the majority of them in controlled enviornments or at slow rates of speed- barring the rednecks in the red truck.. yes.. its not even that big of a deal.. bottom line- its a rush(or a sad call for attention) but so is smoking, and drinking, so pick your poison. we all have one. –now if you`ll excuse me, i have to go “acidtrip the whip”- in a busy school zone-
This a new ‘craze?” This Ghost riding is “Fun?”
I would be more entertained watching flies doing it!
This is RIDICULOUS and DUMB.
But to each is own I suppose lol
Gl all you Ghost Riders…
be careful out there buttnuts.
Idiots
[...] two… you know what to do. « Hello world!Ghost ridin’ tha whip!My brother recently sent me this link. Second video from the top is hilarious. I don’t knowabout you, but when I hear a great track in the car I usually get the urge to climb out of the window with my foot on the steering wheel and dance on top of the moving, unmanned vehicle. It really is sad what some people will do for attention. [...]
