So, Apparently It's Cool to Hang Out of Moving, Tilted Cars in Saudi Arabia Now
A stunt that makes dudes shooting rifles while drifting seem almost tame.
With long, desert roads and a robust car culture, Saudi Arabia's stunt-loving drivers are well-documented and famously insane. But things like drifting, or "Hagwalah," the more dangerous Saudi version which involves using cars with front instead of back wheel drives, can only keep people busy for so long.
"Sidewall Skiing" is what's hot right now. The stunt involves incredibly good drivers balancing a moving car on one side (usually by driving one pair of wheels up on a ramp) while the passengers get out on the other. Once up on two wheels, the driver keeps the car balanced by steering. Sometimes the human cargo on board change some tires in the process.
