More Information on Ghost Riding
Why I feel like doing this I have no idea...
Maybe it was because I fell into a forum about ghost riding and very few people knew what it was and I happened to be on youtube and this was one of the most played...
It made me laugh hysterically...

To ghost ride, frequently used in the context of "ghost riding the whip" (a "whip" being a vehicle) or simply ghostin, is when the driver of a car puts the car in neutral or allows it to idle and then the driver (and passengers) of a vehicle exit while it is still rolling and dance beside it or on the hood or roof.[1]
Ghost riding is one of the latest trends to be popularized by hyphy culture, which originated in the Bay Area of California. The act is one of the highest forms of "going awesome" and a representation of the style of hyphy. The term "ghost ride the whip" was given nationwide exposure in E-40's 2006 song "Tell Me When to Go".[2] However, E-40 was not the first to use this term, as it was coined much earlier by other Bay Area rappers such as Mac Dre. [citation needed]
Ghost riding as a term also has a history in motorcross and stunt cycling. The rider typically jumps off the back of the bike then runs after it and jumps back on.[citation needed]
As with car surfing, ghost riding can be dangerous and has resulted in at least two deaths in North America.

I'm headed out to wikipedia to add that riding:
a) indicates that the 'rider' is less that 21 years of age.
b) indicates that the 'rider' generally possesses an IQ near that of a light bulb
