To ghost ride, often used in the context of "ghost riding the whip" (a "whip" being a vehicle) or simply ghostin', is when a person puts the car in neutral or allows it to idle and then the driver (and passengers) of a vehicle exit while it is still rolling and dance beside it or on the hood or roof.
Ghost riding is one of the latest trends to be popularized by hyphy culture, which originated in Oakland, California. The act is one of the highest forms of "going dumb" and a representation of the style of hyphy. The term "ghost ride the whip" was given nationwide exposure in E-40's 2006 song "Tell Me When to Go".As with car surfing, ghost riding can be dangerous and has resulted in three known deaths in North America.
Ghost riding is also known as "going Patrick Swayze," or just "going Swayze," referring to Patrick Swayze's lead role in the movie Ghost.
