Worthington, UK Mayor Noel Atkins learned the art of crowd-surfing recently at a local christian rock music festival, and did so in a suit and mayoral chains at that.
Noel Atkins was speaking to the crowd at the music fest when he decided to attempt to crowd-surf in his full mayoral outfit. The crowd was happy to help the mayor through the crowd. It’s one thing to crowd surf, but it’s a whole other to do it in such style! Check out the video of the crowd-surfing Mayor.
