Feast your watering eyes (well, I wept) on this gorgeous suspension video courtesy of Gillian and Clive (who spend most of
their time K.I.S.S.I.N.G whilst s.u.s.p.e.n.d.i.n.g. from trees).

Filmed when they were living amongst The British Virgin Islands.
The suspension Cory Jenkins (a piercer of nearly twelve years experience from Vancouver, BC) is enjoying is based upon Seiza, the traditional form of sitting in Japan.
90% of the editing by www.TypeAlice.com – I just rearranged things slightly.

IAM a big fan of typealices work, but this is a side I didn’t know. Beautiful place.

I got teary-eyed, too. And I cry about as much as Chuck Norris.
The more I see of peaceful suspensions or even the more performance-geared ones, the more I know that I fucking NEED one. I guess I need to start searching my area again.

For the record, I just wanted to say that I gave Roo the go-ahead to do what he wanted with my videos (they were initially in two separate videos because we used two video cameras with much different quality which would make editing them together messy looking) and I’m happy to say he kept their integrity, mood and soundtracks that I’d originally chosen. It’s nice to see them made public again because I don’t think our experience got as much publicity as I hoped they would.
Great job, Roo!! Thanks again!

I already wanted to suspend on my schools campus overlooking the river, this just intensified that!

Beautiful. Moving.
This captures the ESSENCE of what suspension is for me.
Thanks for sharing.

this video is gorgeous and really makes me want to go up even more than i have been wanting to recently. who are the majority of the people throwing the hooks here? does everyone take a turn? just curious, because there is one that just looks effortless. im really intrigued.
okay, so right now, im super interested in suspending sometime. im a bit worried about the weight aspect, because i know ill have to have more hooks thrown, but i would love to do a suicide or a superman. i have a ton of questions for anyone interested in chatting. get at me on iam or by email.

The first song was perfect for the video. Absolutely perfect. And the ends where they are kissing is beautiful.

That was really beautiful. It makes me want to suspend. The music was perfect for the footage. I love it when suspension and any body modification is portrayed positively and beautiful like in this video. I like it when body modification is seen as a natural and beautiful thing instead of being portayed as shock value.
