I was thinking that if it was not about drugs or alcohol that the reason would be that he was...
1. Using someone's truck that he did not like
2. Just simply never grew up
3. Was trying to get back into prison
4. Did it based on a bet (I hope it covered the truck repairs)
Really, let us not give alcohol or drugs the credit, we can say that plain stupidity is behind all of this. What they are doing is called "Ghost Riding", here are the details:

To ghost ride, frequently used in the context of "ghost riding the whip" (a "whip" being a vehicle) or simply ghostin' is one of the latest trends to be popularized by Hyphy culture, which originated in the Bay Area of California. This act involves the driver and/or passengers of any given vehicle accelerating while in gear, shifting to neutral, exiting while it is still rolling and dancing beside it or on the hood or roof. It is one of the highest forms of "going dumb" and a representation of the style of hyphy. |

Hyphy culture, like much of rap culture, focuses heavily on the usage of alcohol, marijuana and ecstasy. |
