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.

Handlebars

I think this customer of Rae at Liquid in Lubbock, Texas is very clearly asking that someone ride him… (PS. Previously).

    I think it reads as handles easier with it crooked, I feel like if they were straight the first thing you’d think is what is that shape? with it crooked you get the turning of it. I like it, but if it were on me the crookedness would probably bother me, even though I think it’s better that way.
