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.

Float like a butterfly..

A collaborative suspension event between Swastika Freakshop and 42 Suspension Group.

    Wonderful music, wonderful video. I think that’s the best suspension video I’ve seen yet

    It’s great to see a Suspension video that goes for more than a minute. So many times I’ve just wanted it to keep going.

    That looked like it would have been a beautiful event. Everyone looks content. It’s so lovely to see.

    I would so be affraid that the skin would snap… It’s the first thing that crosses my mind when I see those knee-suspensions and stuff… Does that occur?

    Great video, it really gives me a warm feeling, sense of freedom and an allmost child-like happiness from finding pleasure in simple things…

    They look like they are having so much fun!

    Fucking LOVE how they cut their own strings. That looks like MAD fun!

    Simon: Skin *can* break/snap under such pressure, it’s not very common however it all depends on the person suspending, the gauge of hooks, what style of suspension and placement of the hooks.

    There is a LOT of info on http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Suspension to check out.

    Keep the MAD vids coming guys! Lovin’ em, great mix to Shannon.

    @jOELTRON: thanks… I guess one has to learn what his/her own limits are.

    RooRaaah Crumbs – I think I’m just in love with outdoors suspensions. I’ve done both indoors and outdoors and there’s just a different vibe.

    I love how something can be so intense and so beautiful all at once.

    Lovely video! Everyone looks like they’re having the time of their lives.

    My favorite moment was around 2:35, I think, the girl with the long purple (?) hair who danced herself up, that moment as she actually lifts is so great.
