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.

Freshwater Shannon

 

That’d be Shannon (more) on the zipline, suspending at the last ROP BBQ, with photos by Robin (1,2, Zee).

    @goldust: These hooks are called “Gilson” hooks, named after Oliver

    I broke my toe walking ever so gently into that frigid water, Mikey. I slipped on a rock.
    That’s not to be confused with the other toe I broke playing my Wii….
