How do I survive my first mosh pit?
TIPS FOR SURVIVING THE BH MOSH PIT FROM ONE GIRL TO ANOTHER
- If you have medium to long hair, TIE IT UP IN A BUN.

- Do not wear a long sleeve top or hoodie.

How do you prepare for a mosh pit?
Preparation is key to surviving a moshpit and it begins before you even leave your home.

What do you wear in a mosh pit?
