Car surfing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Car surfing (also known as urban surfing) is a form of acrobatics (or an illegal stunt if performed in public traffic) in which passengers of moving vehicles perform various stunts, including hanging out of the car or 'surfing' on the hood (bonnet), trunk (boot) or on the roof of the vehicle while it is in motion. Car surfing has caused several people to be killed[1][2][3] during the course of such stunts.
The 1985 movie Teen Wolf was one movie which inspired many young people to try car surfing.[citation needed] A more recent movie with car surfing was Grindhouse which may have also re-popularized the trend.
Car surfing has been popularized by the hyphy movement and is nearly identical to ghost riding.
