Default Have you ever gone crowd surfing?
Seems like a good poll for a music forum. A lot of us go to concerts, but how many of us have gone crowd surfing before?

Only ever at the one show (Mayhem Fest from a few years ago) but it was definitely a rush. Got dropped on my head twice. I'm fat.

I've done it a few times. It took me awhile to build up the courage to do it. For the most part, if you go into it expecting to be dropped or have people mess with you while you're up there, it's cool and not so bad. Of the several times I did it, only once was I punched and once was I dropped. It was at smaller venues, though. The rest was like you said, a definite rush.

I think getting dropped on my head was a bit of a rush. Rushed right to the ground.

No. Too tall, but most importantly, it's never seemed like something I would enjoy. Maybe I don't want people touching me.

I always personally thought concert goers crowd surfing is bad etiquette. Just my opinion. I always said crowd surfing is for lead singers. Nothing more annoying than trying to enjoy a show and have some attention whores shoe in your face.

The first time I went crowd surfing, I was in an area where a bunch of guys were putting up a lot of people; asking people if they wanted a lift. So I simply said, "why not?"

I think it highly matters on who's playing also. For example at a rave style situation or a local punk show I mean who really cares. Now if I'm at a show where I paid good money to see one of my favorite bands it's totally uncalled for.

There's of course varying opinions on this. I'm sure some bigger name bands encourage it and enjoy to see the crowd doing it. So I guess more than anything it's just a pet peeve of mine.
