crowd surfer
Lifted audience traveler
A crowd surfer is someone who rides atop a dense concert audience, passed hand-to-hand above the crowd.
The practice emerged from punk and metal shows, where fans launch themselves from the stage or are hoisted up by those around them: The crowd surfer made it all the way to the front before security pulled her down.
