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.

High Wire

Constant Elevation just played a pretty damn good trick on my eyes. I was like, “OMG! Norm come check this out!” and then he pointed out that he’s just holding a bike with no front tire, not riding a unicycle on a tight wire. Either way, I’m going to keep telling myself it’s a high wire act!

    i think it (ritual) is a frame of mind that you enter. i also think (my opinion) that they should be serious to a certain degree… but then again hazing is a ritual….. im not hating, just find the categorizing funny.

    Mikey: I totally agree with the use of an harness for high suspension . this is more the result of the crane drive and the suspendee see how high they can make it go.
    possibly not the most responsible thing to do without safety.

    Yea, we’ve all done stuff like that in the past but as soon as there is an accident because we neglected the common sense approach, the whole community gets set back. You have to think even though its your choice to take the risk it affects alot more people. My rule is if I want to be a dumb ass and try something that is obviously not safe, I make sure there are no cameras going off and then it will be all a fairytale if something goes wrong…lol
