"There is no coming to consciousness without pain"
Well, I just got here. That's not really true anymore, but all this still feels new and exploration-worthy to me.
I'm not really good with this whole 'talk about myself' affair, so if you'd want to know what, why and how I got into all of this, please read the story of my personal ascension.
I definitely seem to have developed a passion for body suspension. And because this community seems to be THE place to be to live that passion, I decided to join your little world here. I want to learn as much as I can about it.
No Forum - but I like getting messages. And don't be afraid of the tracking thingie; it doesn't bite.

Well, he pulled off what everyone, myself included, didn't think was possible. My respect.
Please go and review his story by clicking here so it will get published on BME with the next experience update, which hopefully will happen before the Christmas holidays. It is really well written and pretty informative. (you need to log in to the experience review system by entering your IAM credentials. After being logged in, just click on the link again and it will get you right there).
And speaking of Herfried, him and me did a winter excursion to "my" mountain where hopefully I finally get to organize some suspensions next year.
This is just the PERFECT location to enjoy hanging from hooks, and I really look forward to warmer weather!

Anybody remember "JungleCon" held last year?
Well I just discovered that Klem`s lotus suspension (that was featured on bodytwo.com back then, which sadly is available only at the internet archive nowadays, sans pictures to boot) is included in a calendar Shannon has put together from his bodytwo posts. I`d say go check it out!

...is an awesome photographer.
She sent me a few pictures of my Oslo suspension - and since some people were
Love this one. You can clearly see I didn't really 'enjoy' this as it hurt EVER SO MUCH. The pain was overwhelming. But yet, I have forgotten it right after and yes, I WILL try it again. Thanks to Håvve for being there for me!

are lacking.
I know, and some of you have been impatiently messaging me....
So I sat down yesterday and typed
a looong entry about the meeting in Switzerland and as I was 90% ready
and wanted to add pictures, the browser decided to crash.
So you will have to wait for a few more days. I`m still in Oslo, and as the legendary suscon afterparty is going to start in half an hour I gotta
get going.
Just so much:
Attended the Swiss IAM meeting as well as the Oslo suscon - two
suspensions on susbsequent weekends this month. Ouch.
- I now know that even I can enjoy hooks in my back. They
just need to be placed right - and two are enough :)
- static rigging is as awesome as it looks. The experience was incredible. I`m still high from it. Oh, and those Oliver-designed hooks a really worth their money.
Oslo is amazing. I`m really really really happy to be here and will definitely return if they let me....

I just discovered that since I came in here, FIVE THOUSAND people had a
look at this my excuse of an IAM page. I`d never expected that, and I
don't really know what to think of it. But I promise to not neglect it so much as in the past - there WILL be more frequent updates!
But nonetheless, I`m curious as to who takes an interest in what I have
to say on here, so I installed me one of these tracking thingies. So
now I know who you are :). Don't worry, this will only be temporary;
I`m probably going to get rid of it in a week or two...
Anyway, there's some imminent changes bound to happen in the near
future: I`m going to start at a new job next month and move to
Switzerland in the process.
This is going to be a nice career move for
me, and I`m very much looking forward to that. Even here, this
community comes in handy: I've received valuable tips from various
people on here, especially Sandy and Andy
have been really helpful with advice.
Sorry about all the pictures - these are still AWOL. They were hosted
on a subdomain that no longer exists after some hiatus at provider
level, so I'll have to get different webspace and then re-upload and re-link them all. There's no
time for that at the moment, so please bear with me for just a little
longer - sorry!
Other than that, I`m very much looking forward to see all those nice
BME folk again at the Swiss IAM
meeting in July - can't wait for that!
And I`m finally going to attend the Oslo Susconthis year - something I was dreaming of doing even before I got in here. Hopefully this will work out - as asking for time off two weeks into a new job might be a little premature, but we'll see...
