A man who allegedly filmed himself doing a handstand on a moving car with no-one at the wheel is to face trial in a Gold Coast court in late July.

Police were called by bystanders to an industrial area in Burleigh Heads in February.

Ryuichi Hozaki allegedly uploaded footage to a video-sharing website and a social media handstand appreciation group.

The 30-year-old was charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle.

He is contesting the charge and will face Southport Magistrates Court on July 28.

If found guilty, Hozaki could be jailed for up to three years.
