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.

    I used to be able to do that when I did karate and ju-jitsu (it was a warm-up stretch) but I’m years out of practice and not as flexible anymore 🙁

    She’s cute. I can do the arm thing, but that goes back to a similar stretch I did in Judo maybe, even though that was years ago.

    I can do that =D My arms are pretty much the only flexible part of my body. I like finding new party tricks!

    I, like many others just tried to see if I can do that, I can not.

    She can give herself hugs for this talent….. ok that’s just bad lol, but a really cool trick!

    Some people are also just born that way. I have really loose joints, but its not all fun and games because it can leave you prone to injury. I tore my ACL and some cartilage when I was 17 just from jumping when my knee floated out of joint mid-air.

    I can do that, though not quite as high up between my shoulderblades. My arms are the only flexible part of my body.

    I can do that, and it feels quite nice. Good to stretch muscles which don’t get stretched that way very often.

    Wow, well I tried it.. but my fingertips rest at armpit level.
    It’s cool that hers are at her neck. Woah.

    She is quite beautiful.

    although hers doesn’t look to be laced very tightly, i definitely support the corset. bme needs more tightlacing! it is a form of body modification that requires years of constant dedication, and is practiced by a somewhat sizeable community. im just saying.. 🙂

    I can do that, but my hands don’t go up as high on my back, lol. I used to be really flexible, but i let myself get lazy and fattened. Hmm. Exercise, here we come! lol.

    Awesome pictures! Very beautiful 🙂
    I love the stars and the big lobes, very lovely!

    I can totally do that, even though I don’t practise yoga or any of that.
    I think it also has to do with hyper mobility of the joints, at least, that was what the physiotherapist told me when he was examining me 😛

    It’s fun, you can do al weird sorts of stuff like pusing your thumb down to your wrist and freak people out 😛

    my arms do that and i’ve never done yoga.

    Interesting that many here have been pleasantly surprised! Goes to show we’re all made differently.
