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.

Hey BME! Take me!

I made a really bad video to say thank you to everyone who has sent in their own videos!

More videos after the jump!

    I’m recovering from a broken fucking face. Not supposed to be on the computer. As soon as I can sit up again I’ll post the finalists and then have modbloggers vote on it. Hopefully over the next few days, Jen can keep up on posting more videos while I focus on healing because I can only see out of one eye right now and I’m not supposed to be on the puter.

    REALLY HAPPY WITH THE LAST 30-40 VIDEOS I SPENT TONIGHT WATCHING. YOU GUYS KICK ASS AND MAKE ME PROUD TO RUN BME.

    So In regards to your first post I may or may not have been really nervous and said “youknow, like, uhm”, a lot. I hope it wasn’t too unbearable.

    Feel better soon, Rachel! I don’t know what happened, but I hope you are okay!

    Get well soon, Rachel!

    I can’t believe the finalists are going to be posted soon…I’m so nervous, my stomach hurts!
    I really hope you guys pick me. Seeing all the videos posted so far, I think I’m the only one who already taught the viewer something about body modification in a culture that I think a lot of the readers haven’t had much exposure to (of course you’ll have to forgive the nerves and awkwardness). I can see how it’s going to be tough though.

    Good luck, everyone!

    I’m away right now. I’ll be home tomorrow night. I have to get caught up on work and I promise I’ll post some more videos. I haven’t gotten to talk to Rachel all weekend so hopefully I can touch base with her and I’ll try to have something up Monday night but if that doesn’t happen, for sure Tuesday. I’ll be spending most of Monday on the train.

    I vote for ed but I think it’s just because I fancy him ::blush::
    it was the only video I could get through: it was informative, professional, and entertaining. He has a great persona and seems like a genuinely pleasant person.
    go Ed

    Just got back from a weekend trip and it’s great to see all the positive comments! Thanks everyone! Shooting and editing these videos is not easy!

    As many have pointed out, there are quite a few good applicants. I’ve been watching all the videos myself with a mix of “wow, they would be cool to travel with if I got it” and “oh man, their video is better than mine! I’m doomed!” Best of luck to everyone!

    Feel Better, Rachel. Also, I really like the video from Dylan who posted his youtube video.
    He sounds like he actually knows what he’s talking about!

    I look forward to seeing the finalists!
