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.

Single Knee Suspensions

Inkstar snapped this shot of Allen Falkner doing a three-point single knee suspension earlier this year at the Wings of Desire Oslo Suscon in Norway.

…and Marc in Germany upped the ante by raising it to a one-point single-knee suspension… I know if it was me I’d be wayyyy to worried about falling on my head to try that!
