What an awesome tune! It sounds so good live! But thats not what I want to talk about!



I just wondered if any of you people had ever made 'The Big Jump' over a festival fence? Ive never managed this as I have never tryed. But I was wondering if anyone had any good stories of them jumping fences at festivals, or any good tips?



Last year at Glasto one person claimed to of done it. Personally I think this could of easily been done if it was late at night and you had a good rope ladder, or even if you had arrived a few days early when sercurity is slack. I know of people who have jumped into Glasto and Ive seen it happen at Homelands last year and it looks easy.



The reason I asked is because my friend suggested this is how we get into Homelands 8O

Yup, once. Was worth the trouble though, great concert.



The key to 'the big jump' is observation.

Cheers, I guess its alot about picking the right moment to do it. What gig was it and did you use any equipment to aid you?

I remember this kid trying to jump the new metal fence at school. He ripped open his knee. A pretty site if you enjoy the colour of blood.

Was he trying to get into the school or out of it?

What kind of geek would climb a fence to get into school :? Nobody likes school that much, nobody.

True, i take it walking out of the gate wasnt an option. I thought he may of just done it for the thrill rather an an escape effort.

ha, well he certainly must have got some sort of thrill as they drove him off in the ambulance X-D



They only opened the gates when it was time to leave by the sound of the bell. On this occasion he wanted to leave early.

I've never jumped a fence to get into a concert. It would be kind of hard to do while wearing a skirt! X-D



There's been rumors of people jumping the fence to get into Coachella, and ripping their nut sacks in the process. Of course these are just rumors, but the mental theater derived from such rumors is painfully burned into my memory.

Well at least the squirills wont go hungry with all nuts laying around the fences.

This thread nuttcracks me up!

jumped glastonbury twice - '99 and 2000, but tbh it wasnt that hard - u pat a scally �10 and he lets u through 'his' hole in the fence!



homelands on the otherhanmd is a different kettle of fish - ive seen peple try and do it then get caught and mauled by securiity within seconds - the problem is it's in a bowl, so u have to pick your spot carefully and time your run to perfection - to assist, i have created a handy guide:







A: - This is the general entrance - surronded by security, coppers and sniffer dogs, u havent got a look in here - gotta be more creative than that!!



B:- This is the usual spot for fence jumpers - easy access from the road, and a short dash down the hill to the fence and your in. The problem is because it's on top of the hill the ENTIRE festival can watch your attempt, including security - before you know it your in the back of a van with a fat bloke called 'betty' sat on your head. one for the intermediate jumper.



C:- A ha, now w'ere getting somewhere - cunningly sitauted near the back of the festival, by the main stage/vip area is a small wooded area. takes a little bit of walking to get to this part, and is off the beaten track but is VERY wel hidden from view from security. Also, because it's only the VIP area which it backs onto the fencing patrol round the back is very lax. so, if u can trawl your way through some undergrowth this is clearly the best chance for getting in.



good luck! and use the force young jedi's! 8)

Excellent artwork mippio, Last year I remember seeing people getting caught and cased down the side of the bowl by dogs. But I also did see alot of people running from C. I had seen the VIP tent and wondered what it was before.

Haha nice 1 mipps, iremeber seeing people doing it last year, it was fucking hilarious, with two fat coppers chasing after them, i think they managed to get in, but they were caught as soon as they got over the wall.

haha fat coppers, sounds like the hampshire plod!



i used to live 12 miles away from the site so we used to go every year.



i remeber the first year they had sniffers there - i had 3/8ths of skunk (seperated) and 20 little fella's down my pants - and they werent all for me before u ask, i was meeting some friends in there X-D and we got to the bit were u have to file into one to walk past the sniffers. now we didnt know that the dogs were there and just as we get close all my mates slow down having spotted them and let me go through first! yeah cheers guys, very kind of you



anyway i walks past this dog and it leapt up at my crotch, and i start bricking it big time - the coppers just going 'keep walking son, keep walking', so i did haha. i just kept going and into the q without looking back. my mate caught up with me and is like 'jesus lad, that dog shot after u when u walked past, the copper had to hold him back!' - turns out they only lead u away if the dog barks or sits down, so iwas a VERY lucky fella indeed!



suffice to say next year i met my mates beforehand so i wasnt mule'ing for them again! X-D

nice story, mipps ;-) well, all those festival stories. i can't say much about german festivals but it is quite easy to jump the fences at most of them - for some reasons the people just don't do it...

mippio, that's hilarious! It must've been frightening - not only because you had enough drugs on you to get you busted, but because some attack dog nearly tore off your crotch! Yikes, I wouldn't know which is more scary!
