What is the impossible ride trend and how do you make one?

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

The impossible ride trend shows someone riding something that can't be ridden: a dolphin through the waves, a giant cat down a street, a penguin across the ice, a dog on a skateboard. It's a one-line joke with a big picture. In Rift, add a full-body photo of you, tell Spark what you ride and where, and tap Make for a video up to 15 seconds.

Add a full-body photo, tell Spark what you ride and where, and Rift makes the ride as one short shot. One line is enough for the joke.

Why it works

It’s a picture you can describe in five words, and it looks good with any face.

Make your own in Rift

  1. Add a full-body photo of you.
  2. Tell Spark: “Me riding a giant ginger cat down a busy street, people staring.”
  3. Check the Draft and tap Make.

Questions people ask

What can I ride?

Anything you can say: a dolphin, a whale, a giant cat, a goose, a paper plane.

Can my pet ride something?

Yes. A dog on a skateboard or a cat on a turtle are favourites.

Can I copy a ride I saw in a clip?

Yes. Share the clip into Rift and tell Spark it is you on the ride.

Can I change what I ride after I see the Draft?

Yes. Tell Spark what to change, and check the Draft before you tap Make.
