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.

Happy New Year!

I’m really happy with the turn out for our New Year’s Eve gathering. It’s not even 9pm and the nonsense has already begun! Some old faces as well as new ones have turned out to help ring in the New Year.

Here’s a little  sample of what you’re all missing here at BME HQ! Enjoy!

See you next year!

    Pat – You need to contact BMEshop not post on ModBlog about it. I personally watched orders being filled like crazy over the weekend so if you haven’t heard anything try emailing [email protected]. No one is going to respond with details about your BMEshop order on here.

    We’re working on the video from the weekend right now (as well as finishing up some BME tour videos).

    Pat: Jen is correct. We can’t answer your order questions here, nor can we even find out any information from just seeing the name “Pat”. I can’t even find an order that has that name listed on it. Every order that’s been placed on the site has been shipped with the exception of orders that came in today.

    I think the BME new years tweed bonfire from 2003 had a bit of a springboard or ramp so that people attempting to jump over actually… got over? I remember that I sure as heck didn’t try jumping the fire!

    Looks like an interesting past-time though!

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.

  • What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting.
