[edit] Image?

shouldn't this article have a picture of someone actually crowd surfing? Miles 00:11, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dance?

Crowd surfing is put in syllabus-free dance. When the hell did crowd surfing become a dance??? BishopTutu 02:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reasons for it

1. It's fun. 2. It's a cheat way to get the front. 3. If the pit is too rough to too tightly packed, the easiest way to get out is to crowdsurf out.

I don't really know how to put that in encyclopedic fashion...

[edit] Those in favor say aye

Venues should change their policy on crowd surfing from "anybody who crowd surfs will be evicted" to "crowd surf at your own risk." Scott Gall 09:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Be that as it may, why state that here? This is to discuss the article on crowd surfing--an article meant to state the situation as it is. It's not a discussion forum on what should be. 140.147.160.78 18:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

[edit] See Also?

Why is R.T. Rybak in the "See Also" section? He's the mayor of Minneapolis; what is his connection with crowd surfing?

If I don't get a response shortly, I'll assume it's someone's dippy idea of humor and delete it.

Have you read the article on R.T. Rybak fully? TheTrojanHought 15:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

No; that's why I asked. I live in Minneapolis, but had not heard that he'd crowd surfed.

I'll modify the article accordingly.

It should seem to me that the link is unneeded. It is not a terribly noteworthy fact that he's a mayor who has crowdsurfed, nor is it possible to prove that he is the only mayor to have crowdsurfed. If someone is terribly interested in articles about people with noteable crowdsurfing experiences, they could click "what links here". Anyone care to rebutt? Verdatum 19:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Needs changing-Christian Lorenz no longer does it as he has been injured too many times, which is why Oliver Riedel took over. However I am unsure on any sources which could confirm this. TheTrojanHought 10:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unintended surfing?

The article speaks of people being ejected for crowd surfing. But isn't it possible, and doesn't it happen, that people could be picked up and find themselves crowd surfing without intending to do so? 140.147.160.78 18:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

It is possible. How does that effect the content of the article? Unless you find a signifigant source reporting an altercation of this nature, I don't see any need for an edit. Verdatum 19:12, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding groping.

The article currently states that "Female crowd surfers may be groped by male audience members, although this is often frowned upon by other members of the crowd." There is no mention of males being touched by anyone regardless of sex, which also "may" happen. It might be reasonable to extend the article or remove the line. --WheyCreatine 05:34, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
