Crowdsurfers are asses.

[CruelCircus]

<p>Why the hell are people still crowd &quot;surfing&quot;?!&nbsp; I thought this stupid shit went out with Woodstock '94?</p><p>What a bunch of inconsiderate asses these people are.&nbsp; I was at the Virgin Festival on Saturday, and I was totally looking forward to seeing The Who for the first time.&nbsp; It was like a danger zone!&nbsp; You wind up distracted from the show b/c you have to look out for falling idiots on all sides or getting pushed&nbsp;and shoved along in their wake.&nbsp; All I'm waiting for is to here &quot;Won't Get Fooled Again&quot; live by The Who for the first time in my life (heard Van Halen do a great cover once) when just as the song hits I'm hit in the back of the head by a Nike!&nbsp; The guy next to me lost his glasses, my girlfriend had some idiot land on her head... why does anyone help these people along?!&nbsp; I refused to help these guys at all and finally got some of the people around me who were equally fed up to do the same.</p><p>Just stop lifting these jerks or start letting them fall to the ground on their idiot heads, and this shit will quickly go away.&nbsp; Or even better yet, just pull them down to the ground as they go over head.</p><p>end rant.</p>

<p>You shoulda crowd surfed yourself and kicked him in the back of the head with a pair of doc martens. If you can't stop it, might as well join it. </p>

i know what you mean , but i dont mind crowd surfers as much as moshing(i dont know how to spell it).&nbsp; I cant understand why anyone would want to go to a gig and have their ass kicked.&nbsp; and its soooo gay.

Do what I would do....grab ahold of his yambag...and yank as hard as you can as you say.&quot;Can I give you a hand?&quot;...Don't forget to smile...always smile!!!!!!!<br />

When your activities affect others, that's when they're problematic. <br /><p><em>I dont dig the surfing at all.&nbsp; So now, I get away from the action and enjoy the show from a distance.

But I should be able to watch a show from 40-50 yards away from the stage and not worry about flying bodies.<br />

theWho rocks but if I went to the show I would not have expected to see lots of crowd surfing or&nbsp;heavy moshing for that matter. WTF, its not Black Flag or&nbsp; some shit like that. I would expect&nbsp;theWho crowd to have mellowed.&nbsp;But its not like you cant get away from moshing whenever you want. &nbsp;

[kellermcgee21]

<p>Like the poster above me you wouldn't expect too rough of a crowd at who show but what do I know.&nbsp; The craziest shit I ever saw is my friend got hit in the head with a brick at Wu Tang/ RATM show...kinda ruined the show.</p>

[suggums]

a brick....or a cowbell?<br />

I don't know about guys, but most girls stop doing it after they are digitally raped by hundreds of guys.&nbsp; <br />

[mikeyboy]

I chipped a tiny bit of&nbsp;a tooth at a show one time when a crowd surfer landed on my head.&nbsp; I was never much of a crowd surfer myself other than once being forcibly thrown up top by roommates in my younger days.&nbsp; I nearly cracked my skull.&nbsp; Not sure where I come down on the surfers.&nbsp; I just thought it was anecdote time.

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

Yeah, well, I've known that since 1989. I'm not against the crowdsurfing. Just don't come near ME.<br />
