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.

Okeepa Suspension

I almost drifted off (I mean that in the best possible way) when I saw this peaceful shot of Mike just after he settled in to a two point chest suspension..

    This beautiful photo reminds me…
    In the old modblog (before it moved to the main site, when modblog was still separate), there were categories you could just click on to view all related posts. Am I an idiot and they’re still here, or are they no longer around?
    To be clear: I’m not complaining, simply asking; I’m looking for some specific posts I know are on modblog somewhere.
