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.

He didn’t bring his gun this time

    #2 i saw that too, and was actually going to comment with that, i commented that it was on the other night on the sheep suspension. i think they might have featured this outdoor part too, when the people were suspending outside and the flies kept flying on them. not sure, but it could be?

    I want a rig like that. I don’t know if I would be able to trust it, just cause it’s wood, but I would want one just to have it. (I know that is some strong ass wood, I think there was an earlier modblog post on it, but I just don’t think I could wrap my head around wood rigging.)

    Haha, that is how Todd dances!

    And Dorian that rig would have been used to suspend at least 50 people on it by now, as has the other wooden rigs that we use. Never ever ever been a problem =)
