Stage diving. There was this dude who used to due backflips off the stage. It was amazing, honestly. A wonder that he didn't kill himself.
A lot of early slam dancing came from the fact there was literally no barrier between the audience and the band. The crowd spilled into the "stage" area and the band pushed back, and then boom... pit.
Also, the 80s punk scene was really, really violent. Put a bunch of angry white kids in a hot, sweaty room and play real loud music, and people are just going to boil over. But fights were an epidemic, especially when bands from other cities would come down. Boston and DC used to fight all the friggin time. But just as the scene chilled out a tad, it got violent again when it went mainstream.
Organized pre-planned pits are stupid. And really became an excuse for stupid jocks to ruin the punk scene. Or assholes from NYC.
Screw you. No one likes you. And your bands sucked.

Not in any city I saw shows...Houston, Austin, BR and Manchester, UK. I'm sure there were some a-holes in the bigger cities.

fuggin east coasters.
Slam dancing was ok. Nobody was looking to break each other's limbs or face. I saw Revolting Cocks and in the early 90's and it had grown to shite I wanted no part of.
