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.

Beaming in Russia

It’s hard to make out the faces of these Russian Man Dolls, but I’m sure they were grinning from ear to ear!

    That’s so incredibly cool. Also, the music.. <3 <3

    Do the hooks ever just… rip out, from the suspendee being too boisterous?

    Kelli – Yes! Although in that case Allen straightened the hook.

    One of my hooks ripped out during a chest suspension, it was quite rubbish though as I’d only just got off the ground and wasn’t swinging at all.

    I got to say, that music is awesome, and this video made me really keen to try a proper spinning beam setup, it looks like so much fun when it’s done in a location where the suspendees get the full ..seasaw effect. Hey Roo, hope you’re well! 😀 X

    Very appropriate music – loosely translates from Russian as “Winged Swings”

    ciderspiller – That is a good service, the only problem is if ModBlog (not the mention BMEvideo) users uploaded content it’d likely be deleted within minutes. They’re a lot stricter than yousendit et cetera, it’s also totally free (which is a good thing) so they have to be a lot more careful.
