- Mosh pits - Try and stay away from them. But be prepared to be pushed about.
- Be dehydrated. It's awful when you need a drink and don't have one.
- Wear shoes that fit.
- If you wear a belt, make sure its tight, i lost mine. -Tear-
- And with crowd surfing. Never done it, i'm only 14 and i'm pretty small, so to me it looks really dangerous, so i wouldn't, if you're feeling all crazy then...sure if you want. Be careful though. Very Happy
- Getting to the front - If you're kinda small, just wiggle your way through. That's how i try to get past.

Any Tips On Moshing Safely?
Well, if you see a million guys twice your size in the pit, I suggest you skip it.

Or Avoiding Them?
As soon as you feel yourself start to sway violently with the crowd, get ready.
check around you for where the pit is opening, and pull yourself away from it.
Try not to worry about being polite, but then again, dont just shove people out of the way.

Getting To The front?
Show up early.
Dont be one of those people that shows up late and pushes and shoves their way to the front.

What Sort Of Things To Wear?
anything comfortable, and sneakers that wont fall off.
try not to bring a bag.

What To Take?
If Anything?
money, WATER, and maybe an extra hair tie.

How To Meet The Band After?
chill by the back exit.

How Big A Group To Go In?
it doesn't really matter, as long as you set up a meeting place for if you get separated.

Crowd Sufing A Do Or A Dont?
hahaha.
that's really up to you, but let's just say that I've seen a million crowdsurfers fall and get VERY hurt.
also, while you're just watching the show, make sure you're always on guard for crowdsurfers.
if you dont have a hand up at almost all times... well, they will fall on your head, and that isn't pleasant.
hahaha.

Hrm...

Well I've crowd suft myself. And somehow got nearer to the front (By a considerible amount)

I wasnt perticularly meaning to go there. Tis just where the crowd took me. Wink

I didnt get hurt or dropped, just felt up a little and some girl said she liked my pants.

Lmao.

If you think you can handle it go ahead.
But most venues kick you out so be prepared.
