A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Training Day

Cerah‘s first suspension, and she went guerilla!

Suspension aided by Russ Foxx (IAM).

* – We really must agree on how guerilla is spelt on ModBlog.

    In the middle picture (#5) is she pulling her self up? Because that would be amazing. I’ve never been as interested in being suspended as much as I am right now, thinking of the fact that I could do the suspending with my own arms.

    Anyone have any idea on the legality of spontaneous public suspension? (in the USA)

    Jes Havens – What I’ve heard from many people is that it depends a lot upon the officers that “come across you” and the reaction of the public (if any) towards the suspension and your attitude towards them whilst they’re there.

    It also depends upon if there’s any nudity involved and how you explain things, not being aggressive helps too obviously 🙂

    I’m not sure if she pulled herself up (you’ll have to wait for her story on that) but she’s definitely holding her rope.

    I sense that listening to his music to achieve relaxation and concentration needed. The position of the photo number 5 is simply clean and fine.

    Congratulations 🙂

    Russ – Haha, both ways of spelling are acceptable – I might go through ModBlog and standardise them. though.

    This is just fantastic, I love suspension photos. I’d love to try it myself but I’m not sure I’m brave enough. I’d love to read some experiences from people doing suspensions, and find out how to go about doing it in England (where I live).

    Wow, good for her. But here’s a question and forgive me if it’s stupid because I’ve never done a suspension. But would those holes mess up her tattoo?
