How stupid have you been?

[trackerjack]

When I was a teenager (dinosaurs still roamed the earth) we lads had a Morris J4 van and we would get on the roof and cling on to the guttering with our fingertips while the driver swerved like mad to try and get us off.
Clearly this was stupid, however we all survived and no one was ever injured.
If you think back to your teens what daft life threatening things did you do?

Me and a few mates would do 'urban surfing' quite often. A loop of rope between two open windows and stand on the roof of the car. Ended up at some stupid speeds. Miracle we are all still here to tell the tales.

Back when I was 14 me and my friend used to drive around his fields clinging to the bonnet seeing who could stay on the longest. Also used to take turns in the boot and see who could do the most donuts in a minute

Worked well until the car took too much punishment

Now that is radical 4 wheel steering!

Same here using a Defender on Southport beach.

The one that sticks in my mind is punching my brother, whilst in a treehouse (pallet on a couple of branches) and knocking him out of the tree and 50 feet to the ground. To this day I'm convinced that he only survived because I knocked him out with the punch, so he bounced rather than tensed up on hitting the ground.

Yeah, we were mid way through stripping it for junior bangers, then had a mess about in the field and the handbrake seized whilst doing a handbrake turn.

Driving it back with no rear axle was fun though.

I did 'ghostwalking' LONG before it appeared on Youtube or it even existed with my company supplied Astra.

Never really had any big Ph related childhood games tbh... closest is probably clinging on when on roller blades or something similar. Random drives on fields.

TBH had enough to keep me occupied to refrain me from being too stupid.

"Ghost ride the whip!" LMAO.

Done some 'drifting' a few times in a corsa...






















With plastic trays under the back wheels with the handbreak on!
Hillarious tbh. But stupid.

(On some kind of werid bus turn around area)

Top effort there!!!

Can't recall anything stupid that sticks out in mind from the years gone by myself

[ensignia]

Back when I were a lad I never bothered with insurance and sometimes road tax too.

What exactly is ghostwalking? Only videos on youtube I find are of people saying they have seen ghosts

[john2443]

We used to drive the SU minibus and canoe trailer as fast as possible from the pool to the bar (on campus) while someone (remaining nameless ) raced to see if he could get from the back of the trailer, over the roofrack and looking in the windscreen before we got there. It wasn't very far and had bends but he could still win.

Them was the days! Young and stupid!

I remember watching a amazing video once where the guy actually got his car stolen while he was 'ghost riding his 'whip'' 10 point to anyone who finds it

Back in winter 1994, following a heavy snowfall much fun was to be had in the New Forest with a car, towrope and upside-down patio table.

If it was the one where 2 white kids where doing it and a black guy stole the car I belive it was fake. Funny though

Just did this as I had no clue, the first video returned made me wish nuking from orbit was more than just an overused PH-ism.
