The quickest way to get from point A to point B is a straight line. It stands to reason that the straighter the line, the shorter the distance. This applies to finding a parking spot too.

If you are a stunt man like James “Ski” Smith, you can take the shortest route to your parking spot by driving through the very busy Hollywood effects shop JEM FX.

For those unfamiliar with driving a car on two wheels, also known as skiing, stuntmen use a ramp to get the car up on two wheels and drive down the road. The tracks left on the ground looked like ski tracks so the term “Skiing” was tagged to the stunt.

What makes this particular incident interesting to us is the fact that Smith got the car up on two wheels with the driver’s side in the air. Typically we see the passenger side up, which makes for an easier landing on the driver.
