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.

Guerilla Renegade Suspensions

Thanks to Ewan for sending in these great shots from Hack Suspension Team in Newcastle doing some not-entirely-legal suspensions… I think in most activities, the more excuses the police have to arrest you, the more fun it is, right?

    that looks fun as hell! but i wonder how the cops would treat a situation like this. can they arrest a person for tresspassing, and would they give them time to properly treat the hook wounds before hauling them in.
