Look like fun. I can’t tell exactly how they are doing it.
Those open doors must really improve mpg.
Yeah, this certainly will be a new fad in the U.S. Soon the news will be full of these highway mishaps.
I often go outside with my bathrobe to get the paper. What’s the fuss about?
I guess the roads out there can be smooth since it almost never rains. Either that or they dunked their shoes in a oil barrel
add a pothole or two and we’ve found yet another way to get rid of some of them 🙂
I’m thinking they have to lift their feet after their sandals get too hot.
I don’ think you can do this in the US. Too many potholes and lane divider reflectors. Hit something like that and you’re dead. How would you like to face-plant on a freeway?
These idiots are wearing no protective gear at all.
Perhaps there a women driving the car ?
no way in US, too many potholes
while I am on the subject,, having traveled most of Europe, it is obvious US roads are the worst (even Portugal)
built to last versus built at lowest cost (and its not just the weather here… look at Norway allthough I admit they are filthy rich right now from all the oil)
Tell me they weren’t rooler blading while hanging onto the side of the car in the middle of traffic. Of course they may have just had on slick soled shoes but either way this is seriously crazy.
Yeah, I can see American teens doing it. If it is brain dead stupid and great way to get killed and cause several other people to get killed as well you just know its got to catch on.
Was that Bin Laden and family?
there’s a few videos of this happening in the US already…one video has somebody falling…kinda funny
This is just the Saudi version of ghost riding the whip.
Brilliant! The stupid bastards.
One slip could be really really ugly…The Darwin Awards latest thrill ride.
In the 1990s I had a job that occasionally had me working at 3AM. Driving home on the interstate a car passes me with an idiot hanging out the passenger door “skating.”
Reminded me of an old Sonny & Cher sketch:
Four guys wearing kilts are introduced as the world champion caber catching team. They explain that a caber will be thrown from the top of a mountain and they will catch it before it gets to the bottom.
Sonny asks for a demo.
The team look up the mountain awaiting the caber.
The caber (huge log) enters the picture from the top and flattens the team.
Sonny runs over and says “Isn’t this sport very dangerous?”
Team leader says “Aye Laddie, but you should see night caber catching.”
It’s a viral video for skechers shoes.
It’s a shame none of them were killed.
The fun you can have with 60 cents a gallon gas.
This is what passes for entertainment in a country where EVERYTHING is banned. There is not one movie theater in the whole damn country.
“add a pothole or two and we’ve found yet another way to get rid of some of them :)”
“It’s a shame none of them were killed.”
Why would you say that. They were being stupid but at least they were entertaining. Two twats don’t make a right.
That’s not the half of it: search YouTube for “Saudi Drift”, and take a look at what else the kids get up to on busy public roads. Then look for “Saudi Drift Accident”. 8(
They’re trying out for first place in the Darwin Awards?
Sauteed Arabia. Perfect if you like being boiled in oil.
I guess they use a lot of oil in their blacktop. It rains so little there, that the macadam must get slicker than greased bat guano when there is the occasional shower.
Interesting, but very dumb.
The Saudi Darwin Awards!
Are they trying to become organ donors?
Is that even allowed in their country?
This won’t happen here, since it would be too expensive a “sport”
Its all in the sandals, they are slippery, less friction 🙂
Oh man, watched the whole thing waiting for the face plant, boo.
this one is a classic!

That’s a funny looking camel.

Aren’t their wives going to get stoned without their berkas?
i can’t seem to stop thinking of this…
it is most likely that these kids are all virgins, never done any drugs, alcohol or anything else that shiteria law finds offensive.
This been popular in US already, There are driver who put their car on cruise control on highway, slide out on their shoes, hang on on rear of the car and later climb back in.
There are a few videos out there with kids doing that here in USA.
We used to do same thing behind a friend’s Volkswagon Bug in the winter in Edmonton. A lot of fun after several tables of beer at the Strathcona.
Never worked in the summer for some reason…
