History Main / OutsideRide

* After the first arc of JossWhedon's {{ComicBook/X-Men}} run, the newly alive-after-all Colossus is shown riding on the top of the team's jet on their way to a monster fight.

* ''SpiderMan'' pulls it off in the first movie.

* BusterKeaton often grabbed onto moving cars in his films; see "{{Cops}}", "TheGoat," ''[=~Sherlock Jr.~=]''

* [[CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain America: The First Avenger]] -- What ''doesn't'' Cap take an OutsideRide on? Taxicab, personal submarine, speeding train, drone aircraft ....

* Skitchin' was a Genesis game where you would hitch rides on the bumpers of cars while on your inline skates.

* Battlefield1942 lets you do this ON AN AIRPLANE.

* In one episode of [[YogiBear Yogi's Space Race]], the prize for winning the race was a trip on a space plan. As usual for this show, there was a twist to the prize that made it not worth winning: In this case, the trip was ''on'' the space plane, rather than ''in'' the space plane.

* ''TheInvisibleMan'' has the eponymous character follow his target this way. Made easier by the fact that, well, he's invisible. Ignore the fact that he's also naked in the middle of winter hanging onto the side of a speeding car...

* This editor doesn't recall exactly why the [[{{Transformers}} Autobots]] would be immune from the Weapon Of The Week if they stayed in vehicle mode (something about their tires?), but does recall Optimus Prime in robot form charging to the attack while standing on two other vehicle-mode Autobots, one foot on each. It's probably easier to pull something like this off when everyone involved is a robot.
** It was in Generation 1, Season 1's episode "A Plague of Insecticons" where the episode-namer Insecticons used lightning to down the Autobots, though thanks to their pet human and kiddie-appeal team mate, they found the lightning-based attacks are nulled with the rubber on the tires of their vehicle mode. Wheeljack (team's teach-head) did the same thing of riding a pair of team mates in vehicle form whilst firing his shoulder missile/cannon.

* ''TeenWolf'''s favorite game was to surf the top of a bus.

* ''DoctorWho'': Jack Harkness does this with the freaking TARDIS. While it's travelling through time. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal This temporarily kills him.]]

* JustCause lets you do this; in its improved sequel, you can even hop around on top of a moving car, leaning around to avoid being shot at. You can also deploy your parachute to take to the air.

* Some more train examples happen in ''WarioLand 2'' and ''WarioLand: Shake''.
