ITP V.011: THE ART OF DANCE: PART TWO: STAGEDIVING



Here we are, a little later than usual with ITP THE ART OF DANCE PART 2: STAGEDIVES.
STAGEDIVING is described as crowd surfing or finding your way on stage and taking a dive off the stage via the stage monitors or PA. Stage diving is dangerous and only should be done if the mosh pit is packed like sardines and under the condition that fans catch you diving, and surf you up. Please don't stage dive nor crowd surf in you're over 180 pounds, there's nothing like getting squished by some fat tub of lard.
FROM THE URBAN DICTIONARY:
if you are a huge person, and you see a 90 pound chick in the audience, don't stage dive in her direction. she will get crushed/hurt/pissed off. also a bunch of hardcore dudes will try to kick your ass because hurting little chicks at shows is just not cool. i am still bitter to the fat ass who stage dived then landed on me while attending a the Bled show.
An activity for kids who go to underground shows, it involves crowdsurfing your way to the stage and then jumping back into the crowd. If the stage is small enough, a stage diver might just get up on stage and dive off into the crowd. At some shows, particularly hardcore/metalcore tough-guycore shows, the stage diver will jump into the crowd feet first, kicking, and punching violently because he is stupid and has no respect. The crowd generally does not like stage divers who can't see their feet. This activity is not usually found at larger concerts for the venues like to put up barriers between the stage and the floor.
I took a stage dive.
