Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At OSC last April, he may have finally found what he’s been seeking.
I never intentionally left the suspension scene but also, I was never really in it. All of my suspensions were private. I had never seen another person suspend in real life. Plenty of pictures of people I didn’t know. But I was the only person I knew personally who was into it. Over the years, I thought about suspension often and kept meaning to schedule another but it simply never happened.
My first suspension in 15 years was not exactly how I remembered. It was better. Far less painful than I remembered. Way more euphoric and mind altering. It was such pure bliss to return to something that’s always meant so much to me.Nothing specific brought me back more than just having the opportunity. How long before my next one? I doubt it’ll be more than a year. I’d love to go up tomorrow! I’ve got a lot on my plate right now but suspension will be staying high on the priority list from here on.
Though Robb’s presence in the suspension community has been quiet until now, it feels safe to say we’ll be seeing much more of him in the future. His full reflection on the experience is up on Instagram (@RavenThePiercer), and it’s worth a watch.
