After doing this, you can also do a relaxed backwards windmill and pretend to be throwing what you pretended to pick up.

This is often referred to as picking up the change, picking fruit or picking whatever you want. When bending over, you try to grab the floor with your right arm then left. Picking Up The Change – There are many variations of this move since you can bend over and do it or bend backwards and do it. Windmilling – What you do is crouch down a tiny bit then swing your right arm in a 360 motion in the air followed by your left. Two-stepping – The mosher will take their right leg and cross it over their left then cross their left over their right and continue this.Īmerican two-stepping – Much like Two-stepping, the American two-step is almost the same except you don’t cross the legs, you bring them to the inside of your opposite leg. This gets everyone to move aside which forms a circle known as “The Pit”. Opening The Pit – Usually done by a bigger mosher, the person will stand at the front of the crowd and push themselves backwards into the crowd. If a person is new to it, they may think it’s silly and takes no talent when actually it’s harder than it looks. This type of dancing is primarily done to Metalcore or Hardcore music. Hardcore Dancing is sometimes referred to as Moshing, hXc Dancing or my personal favourite, Fighting Invincible Ninjas. “Matt, I know what dancing is…but what’s Hardcore Dancing?!” What did every teenager that was into heavy music do? Go to shows and Hardcore Dance! Since Michael Burton is in a band called Mercenaries (they’re great and no, Michael didn’t put me up to this), it made me think back to when I used to be heavy into the heavy music. This was brought up at the first Travis meeting this year but I think everyone forgot about it.
