Ghost Riding

Anyone here ever see someone ghost ride or know someone who has done it?

I had friends who use to do something very similar to ghost ride,
except there would be two people involved.

While the car was moving at idle speed, the driver would climb out of the car and onto the hood,
walk across the hood, then enter the passenger side door, all without touching the ground,
while the passenger would scoot over and take over the driving,
then he would exit onto the hood and do the same.

This was back in the early seventies.

Funny how stupid auto related adolescent stunts change over the years. Back in the day, we played chicken. Thank goodness you don't hear much about that anymore! The ghost riders I like best are the ones in the sky.

These same people would probably try Russian Roulette with a semi-auto pistol!
