Want to show off a sweet stunt in your car? Known as skiing, this maneuver is like a wheelie, except instead of balancing on two front or rear wheels, the motor vehicle balances on all the wheels on either the driver's side or passenger's side. Skiing may be assisted with a ramp or by letting some air out of the ground tires. The driver will often be forced to drive in a straight line due to having to balance the car by steering. It can be used to cruise through tight spots, pull off impossible parking stunts, or just show how skilled the driver is. The higher the risk of falling over, the better. Bonus points for pulling off the maneuver in a cumbersome vehicle like a truck. Truth in Television! However, since Reality Is Unrealistic, the average audience may not know that this is an actual maneuver and dismiss it as Hollywood physics. Still, Don't Try This at Home. |

On an episode of CHiPs, Bonnie was dating a member of a stunt car team, who did this during their show. Later in the episode, Ponch wound up doing it during a highway chase in his Trans Am. | |

The movie portrayal of this stunt as easy to do was busted by the MythBusters — Jamie was injured during a training run, and Adam flipped their car over.note Fortunately they'd installed a roll bar and safety harnesses And both of them qualify as Badass Drivers. | |

In Diamonds Are Forever, while being pursued by Las Vegas police, Bond uses a ramp to put his car up on two wheels to fit through an alley that would normally be too narrow. The police car following him also tries it but flips over on its roof instead. Unfortunately, the film crew screwed up: Bond's car is shown entering the alley on its right wheels and exiting on its left, forcing them to splice in an implausible interior shot of the car swapping sides as it moves down the alley. | |

James Bond: In Diamonds Are Forever, while being pursued by Las Vegas police, Bond uses a ramp to put his car up on two wheels to fit through an alley that would normally be too narrow. The police car following him also tries it but flips over on its roof instead. Unfortunately, the film crew screwed up: Bond's car is shown entering the alley on its right wheels and exiting on its left, forcing them to splice in an implausible interior shot of the car swapping sides as it moves down the alley. The climactic chase in Licence to Kill has Bond commandeering a tanker truck and somehow managing to dodge a Stinger missile with this maneuver. French stuntman and stunt coordinator Rémy Julienne pulled this off and called it the most difficult stunt of his long career. Initially, it was planned to utilise a rig that had been built so that the truck could be propped up and drive at a 45-degree angle, only for Julienne to prove it not necessary. |

In the second Lupin III: Part 1 episode with Goemon, Lupin proceeds to car ski on a single log bridge to run over the samurai. Goemon naturally avoids it and slices the car in half. At which point, Lupin continues to car ski with half a car still trying to run Goemon over. | |

In Midnight Club from the second game onwards, you can do this with the tap of a button. It serves two main purposes: The first is that it can squeeze you past an obstacle if needed, the second is that it prevents opponents from behind you from using your car to get a slipstream boost. | |
