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.
