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.

Nudey Mister Rafa

Honestly Rafa, I know you get a little excited when you’re suspending but there’s really no need for this sort of behaviour*..

*Not that I’m one to talk – A few years ago the police knocked at our place in Norwich, England, because the next door neighbour’s young daughter had been watching me suspend (the inaugural suspension on the Body Evolution tower we built) in my birthday suit, suffice to say she burst into tears and ran to her mother, who called the cops. They were very good about it though and suggested that next time we put up higher screens to block the view.

I hope I didn’t scar her too badly.

    I’m not sure how the conversation turned to this, but you should try living in Liverpool!

    Gnomoweb – How many times have you suspended exactly?! Hugs back.

    Roo – I was just looking through the image gallery you linked to and I noticed John Alexander (aka xzen72) in there, do you know him personally? Just wonder as we’ve been in the same class and course for the last 2 years.

    Seeing him have that much fun reminds me of when I did my suspension for the first time when I was 19. Sadly I havent had a chance to do it again. Most people in my family would feel very disturbed if they ever found out that I am into doing suspesions. Im actually afraid it might really hurt my mom if she found out. Its taken her over 20 years to accept that I like tattoos and piercings. It will probably take her longer to accept that I like to hang from hooks.

    Also I dont drive so my fiance has to be there when I suspend. When he saw it for the first time he was accepting and open minded but he still found it stressful to watch. The sight of blood makes his feel so sick. And him seeing air and bubbling blood come from my back really did him in. Poor guy.

    Ooh yes, Norwich is awful. I mean, the stunning architecture, awesome setting, pretty damn good shopping etc.
    Yeah – it’s horrid. Why would anyone want to live here?

    Admittedly our mod scene has evaporated over the last couple of years and the music scene has imploded but bar that – it is “A fine city”.

    Nice video by the by. Made me chuckle.

    Ahaha. Dear god, poor Roo. That’s one situation I’m not sure I’d be capable of handling with any sort of grace. Was it the nudity, or the dangling by your skin that upset her more?
