It’s most insane expierence, nothing can quite compare to the adrenaline and such xD But I’m tiny compared to all the guys, only 15 and about 5ft6, getting elbowed in the tit hurts loooads xD But the worst I had was either when my mate pushed me in and straight away some guys elbow connected straight with my jaw, or when I was in middle of the pit, and someones fist drove straight into the centre of my torso.. I was winded so bad and couldn’t get out.. But it’s all so fun xD Guys look at me what the fuck is she thinking, one guy even told me to leave for the headlining band.. But I ignored his advice and carried on despite multiple injuries xD But anyone that hasn’t done it, should totally do it!(:

I’m so nervous. I’ve never been into a mosh pit. I’m more of the type of person who is in the front row and head bangs throughout the night. And m boyfriend wants to take me to a show coming up on friday and I’m pretty sure he’ll want me in the pit D:

Hey, I’m doing my dissertation on mosh pits and just saw this blog post. Very interesting, I hope you don’t mind if I quote a little bit of the article/comments. One of the main chapters of my essay will be on girls in the mosh pit, so if anyone (especially girls) had any stories of mosh pits and what it’s like (is it a liberating feeling, for example?) then I’d be massively grateful if they could comment on here or send me an email @ asherkenton@hotmail.com. Thanks again!

What if you only have chucks, and you don’t have the money/time/resources to buy any other shoes? Do you think that wearing the chucks would be alright, if you didn’t kick anyone?

I have been to quite a few concerts, and seen a decent amount of people leave a mosh pit on a stretcher and in a neck brace, most of them were smaller sized girls or younger kids. Then again, the pits I’m talking about get pretty damn brutal, with guys well over the size a human should be.
After the terrible experience of having a girl run into me and then having her get knocked out after bouncing off of me and hitting the ground, I usually stay out of pits with girls in them unless they are around my size. It kind of ruined moshing for me to be honest.

Girl or boy, if your a smaller sized person, just be extra careful. These tips could really help anyone, regardless of size or gender, in a mosh pit.

the last big show I went to was LA Rising. There were many creeps there(at least through my experience), and saw relatives of a guy whod sexually assaulted me talking sh#* from a distance. My male cousin went with me, but since he drank half a gallon of a screwdriver in the parking lot before we went in he left early. I went to go get him water because it was scorching hot then I couldnt find him so he went home because he was so sick.. I was the only girl in the pit that I was in, and got knocked down haha, and I kept trying to back out of the pit, but for some reason I kept findin myself in it. I think some people were trying to put me back in. Stupid security check took my heavy stuff from my bag. What didnt help was I ate a very potent mj laced chocolate bar before the show and was psyching myself out for 5hours. If I didnt do that, I would have had a better time. Oh well, I still had fun :)

thanx for the tips, i want to buy some new rocks now!!!! FTW!!!!

Oh good god, do I have some awesome moshing stories. I’m a girl and I’m only 5’3 so I’m a bit short compared to most in the pits, but that’s never stopped me. Don’t back out and get all scared! The worst that’s happened to me is when I bit through my tongue in a Suicide Silence pit. Not that bad, it somehow suctioned and sewed itsself back together the next day even though it was swollen forever. :P
And if you mosh the fuck out you’ll most likely be told you kick ass by multiple people.
It’s the best feeling ever.
So, girls, GO FOR IT. Feeeeel the adrenaline. Be alive! :)
