Crowdsurfing

[glastonbury2008]

Hi Guys,

Could someone let us know the full score on crowdsurfing at glastonbury THIS year...

Last year my mate got chucked out but luckily we blagged him back in. I am also a fellow surfer and want to know the rules for this year...

many thanks

A doubt very much they will allow it this year. As far as I am aware there has always been a no crowd surfing policy.

Can I ask why you do it? I just don't get why somebody would get a kick out of doing it!

Does anybody remember during Brian Wison a few years ago seeing a guy surfing across the crown on a surf board?

why on earth would someone get kicked out for crowd surfing? i don't get that one bit. especially as glasto seems to be the most liberal of all festivals.

Thats quality

Crowdsurfing is banned because there are too many injuries that can be sustained. I was watching Foo Fighters at Leeds fest '05 when a crowdsurfer went over my head. He managed to kick the top of my head in a way that I felt shockwaves travel down the length of my spine. I was in agony and found it very difficult to walk and move for a while afterwards. Thanks mr crowdsurfer

Pure escapism, The brief feeling of weightlessness, looking across the crowd of 50,000 people, adrenaline rush maxed out!

You ever been skydiving?

you should try skydiving!

[jameshunt]

i have as it happens

but i find crowdsurfing to be MUCH cheaper

I hate being kicked in the head by crowd surfers. I'd rather they didn't do it. I do think it's a bit harsh to chuck them out of the festival though.

[glastonbury2008]

At £175 + booking fee + postage to get kicked out as soon as the bands start?

Can't be cheaper than skydiving.

I had a tooth kicked out by a crowd surfer.

Two things now happen if you crowd surf over or near me.

1 you get a swift punch in the knackers

2 I under your shoes and nick them

If we all agree to punch these antisocial little shits then it will stop

A LIBERAL FESTIVAL GOER

its like an orgasm

I'm not sure about my views on crowdsurfing... The first gig I ever went to I got kicked in the face right at the end, and then all my friends met the band after, and I was just sat on the pavement not really knowing what was going on due to mild concussion But in certain situations I reckon it's fine. I've almost done it before but chickened out cos I don't want to get groped and also it looks really scary.

To me though, it doesn't seem like something to do at a festival... I'd only do it if I thought the majority of the crowd wouldn't mind, and at Glastonbury I think the audience might be too diverse and I'd feel it would upset people, whereas at, say, a Reel Big Fish gig, I wouldn't feel like people would mind so much. Does that make any sense or am I way too tired?

Try having to leave site have emergency dental care and coming back to site on the first day of a festival!

ever tried herion? cheaper than sky diving or going to a gig, lots of similar effects and you wont injure and piss off the people under you with the added bonus of not getting punched in the nuts!

why not combine the three

an orgasm while crowdsurfing while getting a fix
