Well, On the Ship’s Mast Wiki
It says the game originated in Quintin Tarentino’s Death Proof,
But, I’ve played Ship’s Mast 16 times since I was 14, the movies not that old…
So, its been around a while, and in the movie, they had a nice long country road,
Here in L.A, we stayed up until 3 am, and found a strip of road near some ghetto factory indusrty area,
So, its a bit different depending on location
Now, the game is played in a car with one person driving and another person in the passenger seat. A belt or rope is fastened around the window frames on either side of the car, and the passenger proceeds to climb out of the moving vehicle onto the roof, wrap the belts around his/her hands and lower themselves onto the hood of the moving car. The point of the game is merely to provide excitement and an adrenaline rush to the passenger, and it does.
There are plenty of reanactments on YouTube, but heres the movie clip if you don’t want to search…
Observe:
Try it, its worth it…

PS: If you’re ever in L.A, tell me, I’ll drive for you…
