I haven't been to one before but loads of friends of mine have been.

If you have any piercings that are easily ripped out like your bellybutton, take them out. My friend got smacked in the stomach on accident and her navel ring was ripped out.

If you're small or fragile be really careful, people will jump, push, shove and just generally be careful.

Don't stand still, it's probably the worst thing you could do.
Just go with the flow and jump, push, shove like everyone else.
and try not to fall over.

No one will care if you fall over so you'll be stepped on.

Basically, it's a ton of people in one area who are just pushing eachother, somewhat violently. It's Warped Tour, so it's not going to be TOO heavy - and there shouldn't be anyone with knives in there at all.

Ronlina's Moshing tips:

Just push back.

Oh - and please wear sneakers or (laced up) boots. Boots are less likely to fall off, of course - but neither will your sneaker unless you get really crazy.

Watch for falling people.
- watch out for bigger people who are about to step on you.

If you decide to crowd surf, be careful about where you land.

Don't go near the center unless you want to get more rough. Pits are usually more rough toward the center and less so near the edge.

BEWARE the people who think it's cool to punch and kick in 'circle pits'. I think these are lame, myself. It
s a bunch of guys in a circle who kick and punch and 'karate chop' eachother - its been catching on with kids around where I live, and it's really lame. Do not be like these kids.

Oh - and some pits will have skanking, if there's any ska at Warped Tour(I'm not sure about the bands, although I know there's some punk). Skanking is awesome. It's not violent, just awesome.

And if there's anything important in your pockets, put it in a pocket that's really safe or else don't bring it. Only bring the essentials.

So hey, have fun.

No I have never been in a mosh pit because yes you are most likely to get hurt. They are dangerous.

well if yuor a mosh pit virgin then try and stick to the little ones at first because you do get hurt. basically all you do is listen to the music and go crazy. just jump and move around. when you see people you'll soon get the hang of it. its not difficlut and anyways you dont need to do alot. people bumping into you and knocking you about make you do most of the moving so you dont eally need to think about it. and yes you do get hurt but at the time you harldy notice and just carry on. its the next day that it all ocmes back to haunt you. you discover bruises on parts of you, you didnt even know you had hurt. the best part is comparing battle scares with your friends. whos got the biggest bruise? lol! well have fun, it will be amazing, and one you've tried it you'll be hooked! lol

I mosh pit all the time because we have rock shows at our school every weekend.

When youre in a mosh pit youre way out of control, you dont make yourself move people bouncing off of you make you move. You normally jump around in it, thats probably the only movement you do by yourself.


Yes its so much fun. Yes you will 99.9% of the time get hurt. But that is whats so much fun about a mosh pit. When you hurt someone you dont really even stop to say sorry because the people in the mosh pit know that youre gonna get hurt. But the pain is worth it.

Im not sure about a big mosh pit like one at the Warped Tour though because that Im sure is going to be a lot of people. Just try not to get into big mosh pits, stick to the little ones.

they are really fun. but if you aren't tough, stay out. people really can get hurt. i was at a show last week and this guy busted his nose in the pit. but, if you're a girl, most likely when you get in, guys will back off. you can get hurt, but in my opinion it's worth it.

A mosh pit is not a fun place. its where everyone body checks eachother but this is based on a cartoon so don't rate.

Mosh pits hurt like hell. As simple as that. What happens is everyone starts pushing and punching each other and doing other crazy painful things to one another. It's very violent. You should stay away from them. I hope I helped! &hearts; good luck

STAY AWAY FROM THE MOSH PITS! If you do not like pain, a mosh pit is not where you should be. You get beat the hell up and you will be bruised for days. It's just an insane amount of people push eachother, punching eachother and all this crazy crap and it hurts like a bitch.
