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.

The King of Scar?

Yes, João does have a life outside of suspending with his friends, to prove it he sent me five videos showing off his mad scar skillz, so I used my mad video whittling skillz and came up with this..

    Elena – Thanks, I wrote it myself!

    Ok, I didn’t really, the first little clip right at the start is from Viva La Ska Revolution – Bad Manners. The first track is King of Ska – Meganoidi, and the last little bit is another Bad Manners song, but I can’t remember which I chose 🙂

    very impressive scarring.

    regarding the video, the fades between the stills sometimes made it really hard to see the pictures long enough. the fades take too long and the pictures seem to stay showing for practically no time before the next fade starts. I’d make fades 1/4 or maybe 1/2 a second duration, myself.
