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.

LTD Crew Cliff Suspension

Ron Garza, John Durante, and Chris Glunt have been exploring the world, and recently found themselves at San Marcos on Lake Atitaln in Guatemala — $10 a night accommodations — and after doing some 50ft cliff dives, already high on adrenaline, Chris suspended with two 6ga hooks and rigging tied to a boulder. Looks like an amazing experience — continue reading for more photos, and add their pages to your reading list to follow their adventures of course.

    Central America has been great!!! The reactions to the tattoos, and piercings has been a bit (or alot) heavier than alot of other places in the world I have traveled, but most here do see it as different than the sabatrucha (or gang) tattoos. We have not had many problems at all… As far as what we do for a living we all are body piercers, and modification artists with a passion to see the world. I dont think any of us are rich (money wise). Anyone who really wants to do these things can… L.T.D
