About "takeovers"-- is the goal to get hit by the cars?

[Bonanza]

I can't google my way out of this question. There are videos upon videos upon videos of people getting smashed into by a car on a predictable path. Is the goal of the attendees to be hit by the car, as a kind of "cred" thing? I don't get any part of these, and I feel so badly out of the loop on what about these is desirable.

Does someone know whether or not being hit by the cars is done on purpose?

The real way is to yeet yourself into the crowd

Think of it like "counting coup".

You can go down quite the rabbit hole with YouTube's "Sideshow gone wrong" compilations. They are great. Watching urban youth learn about physics is excellent prime time viewing.

Does anything hood rats do give you the impression that self preservation is anywhere in their thought process?

Lord no.

I feel like this is a version of that game "knuckles" we all played as a kid, where you'd flick a quarter along the table at one another's knuckles until someone bitched out. In hindsight it was such a stupid game, yet it was pretty common. None of these videos show anyone taking evasive action; they just get creamed by the car.

I don't understand it, and I feel like somebody has to have an answer on this issue.

I’m old enough to remember people car surfing after the movie Teen Wolf came out….so no, this isn’t surprising.

Or the knife game, seeing how close you could stick a thrown knife to your buddies foot without sticking him.

I’ve never seen either of those game. We did play bloody knuckles, though.

Looks like natural selection to me.

I get that young guys have ultimate confidence in their OWN driving abilities but when someone ELSE is doing burnouts or donuts and I'm not in the car I'm behind some concrete or someone else's car. I don't care if it's some billy badass drift master I'm not getting hit by a car.

Dumbshits.

I don't remember what we called that one but I got some stitches from playing it once.

We had one where you'd smack the other kid on his knuckles (fist closed) with a stout deck of baseball cards. Winner was the one who took the most hits. There was blood.

My 13 year old niece was tossed out the window doing that shit.

She woke up in the hospital, her 'friends' stole her shoes before the ambulance showed up.

I have little faith in her future.

Not that much different than offroad drunken night time retardation at any large off-road event. Or really being around SXS owners at any moment off pavement.

Yep, and the same rules apply. I'm down to watch some some drunk guy yeet his rig up an obstacle but there needs to be a rock, tree, or another rig between us.

The goal is to get as close as possible whilst filming on livestream or whatever to gain views.

It’s a mess.

The worst we did as stupid teenagers was throwing a laso at trailer balls on trucks passing by in town on the 4 lane strip. It just took that one first guy to catch one to realize the rope burn and missing laso rope. I've often wondered what the family thought when they got home with a rope dragging from the ball on the truck.

Well, me and my friend John came up with the idea of launching shopping carts using my El Camino. He would hang onto one out the passenger window, I would get up to 20-30mph. He'd let go, I'd stop the beast. The things those carts did when they hit curbs, walls, trees, sidewalks, jumping across the 4 lane road at 2am. Glad there were no cameras back then, we destroyed alot of carts.

dont rope a deer. Thats all I got to say

We had to use our own knuckles to hit the other guys knuckles. We were intellectuals like that.

 

[Thefishguy77]

I never did anything illegal that I care to share on the internet

You’re not the first person I have heard that from. The first person said dont use 3/8. 5/8-3/4 is probably better and tie it off to the trailer hitch “FIRST”.

 

[Steve300xcw]

Knew kid in high school that roped a cow up on a blm road. Tied the rope around his waist so he didnt loose the rope It didnt go the way he had planned

Seems there was something with pogs, that would fuck up your hands as well. I'm not remembering though

Just grab on like Buster.

We called that game spilt from what I remember.
