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.

First knee suspension (video)

My apologies to _zombiecore_ for taking so long (he sent me this back in the middle of June) to post this video he shot of _GEISHA_‘s first knee suspension.

    That’s beautiful. A knee-suspension isn’t something I’d previously given enough credit to. : )

    Well, that’s help make up my mind about knee suspension, that’s too beautiful for me to not try for myself. I’ve been toying with the idea so long but could never entirely decide. THANKYOU!

    I hate to say it but she is so skinny I couldn’t finish watching.

    As I would say…”She needs a cheeseburger”

    wow… this is so beautiful that it’s making me cry… I feel like being suspended too, so I could lift myself above the ground and for a few minutes not be so heavy…

    Am I the only one who didn’t enjoy watching this, just because she’s so painfully thin?

    She looks like a gymnast. I don’t think her weight looks bad at all.

    She was very thin, I do agree, but I think it almost added to the suspension’s asthetics. Maybe that’s just me.

    I don’t know, I ws in pain watching this video, she seems too fragile and skinny for that to be anywhere near comfortable.

    And was it just me who noticed the guy in the background with the combat trousers on was “visibly aroused” shall we say?

    Why do people complain about her weight? She is thin. So what. That’s how she is. What if it was me in the picture, and people said stuff like “I can’t believe she can get off the ground” or “she needs to eat less”, this wouldn’t be nice either.

    i think she is beautiful and so is this video. portishead is phenomenal.

    those who maybe didnt finish because she looked to fragile and thin probably should have because they would have noticed the huge smile on her face at the end.

    I have personally witnessed her first suspension and the energy flowing out of that girl when she gets lifted is stronger/heavier then any man or women twice or three times her size. She is amazing and I only wish I was there to physically witness this one. Beautiful…

    That’s a beautiful video. The song matched perfectly and the smile in her face just made me want to have my own suspension. First time I’ve seen a suspension video, I’ve only seen pictures before, and that was amazing.

    Iam flour and i threw this girls first hooks for her suicide suspension. This girl is tough and whoever said “eat a fucken cheeseburger” go fuck yourself with the dead cow your shoving in your fat face now.

    For everyone being that disrespectful to Giesha about her size. We are supposed to be a modded community. Show some respect. This girl is tough as nails and I am sure since the only comments from some of you were about her size, you obviously have issues with your own apperance to be attacking others.

    To geisha congrats on your knee suspension. I look forward to seeing and participating in more of your beautiful suspensions. You go up like a champ where others faint.

    So all the assholes know who I am…I dont hide behind bogus names.

    I didn’t say eat a fucking cheeseburger. I said she needs a cheeseburger, or some other calorie and fat laden food.

    Its probably time that people started saying “She’s too thin” to people like her rather than “I wish i was her”.

    I didn’t mean to imply that the burger had to be cow, but then again you didn’t read what i said anyways.

    Is my myspace not enough for you? It’s not interesting at all. I’m a nobody to put it bluntly. My opinion shouldn’t really matter. I don’t tattoo, I don’t pierce, I just appreciate those who do and their hard work.

    And I’ll never deny being an ass.

    Umm, Why would you wanna do something like that? I dig tattoo’s and piercings,but that shit is just retarded. C’MON knee suspension? What? Why? Whoever said that was beautiful is demented. I Can agree this chick might be as tough as nails. Or maybe just on some sort of Drug. Who knows.? Someone wont get that skinny by eating FOOD. Any way Giesha, Congrats, You figured out how to get some attention. Heck even some negative attention is better than none, HUH?
    okay I’t might be a lil more interesting if this chick weighed a lil more than 50 pounds. See I’m not knocking her for being too skinny which she is…It’s just a fact. Learn to except reality. It’s just that a normal person might find something a bit more constructive to do with their body and time. Just tell me what the point is. I could think of only one reason someone would wanna be suspended like that, But there is a kinda swing that suspends from the Ceiling for that.
    I think that when you ask for someones comments your opening the door for criticism, Deal with it.
