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.

    What’s with all the suspension videos? They’re all the same. Nothing new or exciting.

    I’m so bored with suspension I could scream. I don’t want to see it in person let alone on modblog.

    Am I alone?

    JLo – If you’ve got something ‘new and exciting’ send it over and I’ll gladly post it (unless it’s one of your music videos).

    There’s always the option of not watching the videos if you’re bored (sorry to hear that) of them, you can check the content by looking at which categories it’s filed under at the top of the entry :).

    It was tough to do for him and he wasnt joking, swinging around, whatever some people do while they suspend but it was his wish to hang that way, we made it possible and in the end i think it gave him something!it was a beautyful sight for sure!

    Well, my point isn’t that videos aren’t exciting enough. It’s that I find SUSPENSION boring.

    It seems like there have been a huge number of pics and videos posted lately of suspensions.

    Maybe it’s because going up for a photo op offends me in some way. I’m not a fan of cameras being used during something so personal and important.

    I don’t attend performances because I think they turn it into a freak show (in a negative way).

    JLo – My point is that the people featured in the suspension videos probably don’t find it boring 🙂

    Granted, most of the posts I make are footage of suspensions but as I said, I can only post what’s sent in..

    I doubt highly (and as I know most of the people involved, and also that they suspend for themselves, not for ‘photo op’) that any of the people seen suspending on ModBlog have done so simply for the opportunity to collect photos etc..

    These aren’t performances, they’re semi-private suspensions amongst friends who chose to document it and share their experience with ModBlog.

    JLo, for me, personally, when I suspend I don’t do it for the photo opportuniity but I’m damn sure I want it photographed even though I loathe looking at photos of myself. I just want to be able to look back at the photos and video footage and reflect on all the life changing experiences I’ve been fortunate enough to have. I don’t think I’m alone there.

    Wow, I didn’t thinks saying what I said would get under anyone’s skin.

    “Ur entitled to ur stupid fuckin opionion but…”
    Wow. Obviously not.

    It’s like trying to have a conversation with someone in a bar and there’s that one guy on the dance floor showing everyone what a good dancer he is. LOL

    I’m not asking that suspension videos and photos NEVER be posted. I was simply saying I found them boring…and asking if anyone else found them boring.

    No big deal.
