In the Loop with "ghost riding"

In an attempt to keep all my ever-aging friends in the loop as to what's going on out West, I wanted to take a minute and address something called "Ghost Riding."

Made popular by an E-40 song where he echos "ghost ride the whip," people are starting to ghost ride their cars. There is a great article on Wikipedia about ghost riding but the long and the short of it is a form of car showing birthed in the Oakland area in accordance with the "Hyphy" movement which is linked to "Krunk" or "Krump" dancing (Stomp the Yard).

Simply put the term refers to people allowing their car to either coast or idle in 1st gear and get out and dance around the car, on the hood, roof or trunk or some combination of all. I found the quite amusing video on YouTube that should demonstrate to you how it works--also you will glean about of geography wisdom from these two guys.

My challenge is to those distinct PYOT ladies to make a video like this. I'd love it.

(Note: slang for 'ghost riding' can be 'ghost' or even 'Swayze' because Patrick Swayze from Ghost)
