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.

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.

    Hahaha awesome music. Why is it that little kids tend to cry when seeing someone naked? Granted the nudeness plus suspension was probably a bit much.

    Frester – I pulled my tongue out, put my thumbs at my temples and wiggled my fingers at her.

    I think that’s what did it.

    Roo, I started to not suspend me now, that video was from my suspension of number 53 =))
    But I like to be naked, because I give a greater feeling of freedom, love getting naked in my suspensions.
    Suspension this first in my life, is what I most love.

    Hug man ^^
