Ghost Ride da Whip

So I'm over at my friend's, Kevin, house and he is attacking youtube at all angles, watching every video in sight, when he asks me if I've heard of this "Ghost Ride da Whip" thingy. I hadn't so he showed me some videos. The following vid stuck out to me.


(Notice the fire hydrant go flying)

I'm at a complete loss because this makes no sense. Not driving your car while dancing next to it. It is funny, but not cool, which I believe is its intention.

We go to pick up one of our friends who was getting off of work. While waiting for him to come out, Kevin decides he wants to try Ghost Riddin'. The actual conversation went as such:

Me: "Man, you got to be a complete idiot to try something like that." Thinking that there was no way in hell he would try it, although I should have known that this kid is exactly the kind of guy who would try it.

Kevin: "I'm about to try it."

So he did. And he did it in front of no one but a couple immigrant kitchen workers and me. If you knew Kevin, and what he looked like, the image of him gettin' down outside his car is pretty funny.
