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.

This doesn’t belong on Modbog!

But it’s cold here and it’s supposed to snow this weekend, so it seemed appropriate.

For a few shots that justify this as a modblog post and the story behind it…oh you know what’s coming……..are you ready? Here it is…..keep on keeping on.

The pictures were taken by Rolf and the snowman was lifted by Mark’s nipple. Mark provided me with the following story surrounding this unusual “suspension”.

I am part of Constant Elevation, a suspension team here in London. During an event, at the end of the second day, there was no time for other suspensions, I would have want to suspend…but there was no time. The Snowman was around during the days, we found it in as a perk of the venue we were renting. The Snowman is actually polystyrene, but despite that is bloody heavy. I already hung different stuff from my nipples…Have a look at the new posts in my mod tracker (I have other pics of weird stuff hanging from my nipple). I just tied the snowman with and easy double knot and then rig it to a block and tackle (triple). I then use a piece of rope we use for suspension and connect it to my plastic nipple piercing.
The plastic nipple piercing is good because it has a fast release and in case everything it is too heavy it will break before tearing your nipple apart. Once I linked everything…everything was done. It was too heavy I have to say, the block and tackle helps.

    mark are u an amputee or is the picture of your arm just extremely blurry and that your arm is viewed at a straight perspective level making the camera appear that your arm is not there, Im just wondering.

    It actually it looks like I am an amputee…
    I can assure you I have both arms attached to my body.
    The right arms is behind my back and the all pic it’s blurry so you can’t see.
    You are correct Kevin.
    Ciao!

    @6 If BME hates Jews, I have a problem since I work for BME and am a Jew. The Jewness abounds around BME.

    @6 What he has is a swastika tattoo, not a nazi symbol.

    Reclaiming the swastika as a symbol of peace and not a symbol of the nazis has been a recurring theme on BME for years. Check out the encyclopedia entries on the swastika (http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Swastika) and on ManWoman (http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/ManWoman) for a little more info on the subject.

    I can assure you BME does not hate the Jews.
