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.

This is how the Finnish do!

I’ve finally been able to upload some sweet photos from the BMXnet convention this past weekend. In addition to incredibly educational classes and a great mix of talented body modification artists, BMXnet also provided four performance artists. My favorite of the bunch included Modblog favorites, Lassi and Jussi of Saviours performing a custom act which included an attempt at a single point guiche suspension. This is how they cleaned up before hand!

    Very impressive. I’ve seen things implanted, scars burned or cut into skin, and all sorts of hanging, but not this form. Kinda made me slam my legs together even though I’m a girl. Hope you healed up ok!
