What Is Ghost Riding The Whip?

I have showed my friends some Ghost Riding The Whip videos and after seeing the videos they don't understand what it is. I really don't understand either but after showing a friend from Hollywood, who is in the movie business in a technical way, summed it all up when he said "It looks like fun!". I believe it looks like fun too.

This is a sport or hobby that is the latest craze among young persons from their teens to twenties. According to Wikipedia this actually started years ago as a bicycle stunt. Where a person would leave the bike gliding and standing up and run next to is as if there was a ghost riding the bike and just another person running beside him. I suppose that would be cool way back in the 60's but new people need new things. Just like people back in the 60's needed pollution breathing, cast iron truck engine muscle cars with 8 track stereos. The new people want a cool looking Honda Prelude with ground effects and thin tires and a wing on the back with some lime green graphics on the side and a DVD player in the dash and a 4 cylinder aluminum engine under the hood. Times change, so what? If you were younger you might want to try something different too in these times.

Who knows who started the fad where the driver leaves the automobile with the door open and no one in it and the driver walks or runs or dances next to the car. We do know it started somewhere in California and seems to be working its way East. The idea spread when a singer called E-40 made a popular song called "Ghost Ride The Whip". This song was a hit and not long after that a ton of young people started imitating what they heard in the song. This was helped by the fact that virtual places like youtube and MySpace has video mixed up in their content pages that people can post in almost any format. Now they can see each other doing Ghost Riding The Whip and try a bit of one upmanship.

What makes a video about Ghost Riding The Whip interesting?

After watching lots and lots of these videos I see a pattern. Usually the driver gets out of the car and moves along the side of the car with music blaring from the inside. One thing that makes it interesting is if the driver actually lets go of the drivers door. Moving away from the door helps too. The farther away from the door the better the video. Also If the driver does some sort of dance to the music coming from the car audio system as if he doesn't care what is going on next to him helps too. Sometimes it helps to actually get on top of the car and jump around as if you were "King of the World" is pretty interesting however this is needless to say dangerous. Another thing that adds interest is if there are several passengers and they all pile out to join the driver in the fun. Seems like the more, the better.

Good Ghost Riding The Whip and be safe.
