BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

Master Bait

None of my trademark music this time, the clapping and laughing says it all..

Just a good old fashioned video of Damien suspending (vaguely reminiscent of this, no?) with The Hanged Man Team during a “Live Bait” in Melbourne, Australia.

    i’ve seen elbows rip badly even on low pressure, so in my opinion, hanging upsidedown was a pretty dumb idea. but on the other side, most people think i am dumb ‘cos i suspend 😉

    This is the best suspension performance I have ever seen. This performance brings suspension shows to a higher level. 🙂
