How do I ghost ride?

Ghost riding is the latest extreme sport phenomenon, brought to the world by the world of "hip-hop." This is not to be confused with hell's hitman Ghost Rider, or even Ghostwriter, the bouncing green dot that helped a group of ethnically diverse kids solve mysteries in the name of public broadcast television. This ghost riding involves dancing around or on top of a car that is moving and also "blasting" "phat/fresh" beats.

Ghost riding is not a new concept. In fact, ghost riders have been present at the biggest events in recent history.








While the sport is regarded safer than watching Ghost Rider and Ghostwriter, there are a few guidelines one should follow when "getting dumb."

Wear tight clothes - Cars have a lot of intricate facets that can do a number on your clothes if they are too baggy. Throw out the "loose jeans" and big jackets for some nice, lung strangling shirts and manhood-showing pants. Worst case scenario, the less clothes the better.

Mix up your moves - Variety is the spice of life, and also the spice of all the sweet moves you can pull off/on your slowly rolling Ford Fiesta. Sure, you can hang off of the doors the entire time if you wanted, but why not try some more traditional dances, but just one the roof? Think of your Ford Fiesta as a parade float, and instead of waving to the onlookers, you are just busting phat moves in their direction. Also, try waving and throwing candy out.

The Wheelz - While I just assume you own a Ford Fiesta, that doesn't mean that it is the only car you should use to ghost ride (although Consumer Reports would say otherwise.) However, because it has "Fiesta" in the name, and "Fiesta" is German for party (and you know how those Germans love to ghost ride), it makes for a solid choice. However, any car should work if as long as it is colorful, stands apart from others, and proud.

If you are wondering how all of this comes together, here is an example picture you can use for your own ghost riding adventures.
