2011 Mustang Becomes Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s Skateboard [Video]

What do skateboards and cars have in common (besides wheels)? The best answer to this question was given by Formula Drift World Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. and skateboarding legend Rob Dyrdek. who joined forces to create a skateboarding car.

Of course, a skateboard car needs a skateboard park. All said and done. California Skateparks built the world’s first skateboard car park. The vehicle of choice for the project was the hyper-marketed 2011 Ford Mustang, which has been given a full skate treatment that includes elements like a grind plate and a grip tape.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Rob Dyrdek transformed their dreams into wall rides, board slides, lip slides and 50-50 grinds reality, playing with the special Mustang.

The whole stunt was performed to serve as entertainment material for the Season 3 premiere episode of MTV’s “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory”.

“Ever since I started drifting, I was constantly reminded how close it is to skateboarding in the fact that it is truly a lifestyle and an action sport that takes a ton of passion and talent. Whether you are on a board or manhandling a car, you can have the freedom to show off your personality and style. For about three years now, I have been dreaming of taking the car control I have from drifting and doing skateboard tricks with a Mustang. I didn't even have to mention the idea twice to Rob, as he was all about it immediately. He was not scared behind the wheel either! Believe me when I tell you, he also went BIG in the skateboard car," Vaughn said.

The special show premieres on Monday, July 12 at 9:30 pm ET/PT, but you can have a taste of the action in the video bellow.
