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.

Crazy Australians

I skip rope so badly that I’m convinced the only reason worth doing it at the gym (I go to a boxing gym) is so that other people can have a chuckle. xKRISTAx on the other hand, is hopefully far more coordinated. Or maybe she just learns from negative reinforcement… I’m sure if I pierced the ends of my skipping rope into my back, after a few stumbles I’d quickly improve!

    I’m pretty sure thats an example of punishment, not negative reinforcement.

    It’s actually positive punishment, as odd as that sounds.
