crowdsurfed
Fans passed along
Crowdsurfed is the past tense of crowdsurf—to be passed hand-over-hand across a crowd at a concert or similar event, typically after diving or being lifted from the stage.
The practice emerged from punk and metal scenes: She crowdsurfed all the way to the back of the venue.
It requires a dense, cooperative audience willing to keep the surfer aloft.
