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.

Up, Up, And Valnei!

Feast your eyeballs on this gorgeous suspension footage care of Valnei and his mob.

    Lk – I didn’t want to. I think it adds to the video, if anything.

    “who wears white while suspending”

    This may sound like a dumb/crazy question, but all of the resurrection suspensions that I’ll seen have been on skinny people. I’m guessing (/hoping) that it’s possible on chunky folks as well; but, hey, maybe our round tummies get in the way.

    Oh man why did I have to watch that, it’s bad enough that I’ve been starting to obsess on the idea of a suspension. Now I’m really starting to crave.
