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.

    In our defense, we didnt have choice over the beer since we were a little tied up at the time. Also she is doing a superman which makes it quite hard to drink while facing down.

    I completely disagree with the fact that these kids are consuming achololic beverages while doing suspensions! I don’t even know where to start my rant…

    But, I must say it was a fun night and I’m really proud of the kidz that went up that night and look forward to takin ‘em up again. We’ll represent Austin with some good ole Lone Star next time!!
