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!

    its funny that this picture is filed under “ritual” when it takes place in a junk yard with a broken bike and a guy in a kangaroo outfit. “look at what i can do!!”. seems like there should be a place for this ,similar to play piercings, but for suspensions

    speaking as a unicyclist, if you know how to ride a unicycle you’d find is considerably easier than wheelie-ing across on a mutant BMX,
    what a mad man!

    Define ritual. Doe’s it have to involve burning insence? Or could it be hanging out with friends, wherever you see fit and wear whatever you like?
