Ladies and gentlemen, BME is very happy to present to you “Free Fall Suspension - The Birth”.  This video, filmed by and starring The Sinner Team, chronicles their journey towards their now trademark free-fall suspensions.  From their early experiments with swinging from a bridge, to their first free-fall and beyond, Stanislav’s team has made tremendous strides when it comes to pushing the limits of suspension.  As you can see by the image below, these suspensions are extremely dangerous and should never be attempted without stringent safety measures and experts present.  This is the full length film, so grab some popcorn and a drink before firing it up.  Oh, and it’s in Russian with English subtitles.

As with all videos, I’ve put it behind a click-through just in case your browser likes to autoplay videos.

This is one of the more challenging suspensions I’ve seen done.  Chubby Vegan is calling it an antichrist suspension, however for some reason I remember it being called something else when Havve did it at the Dallas Suscon.  In any case, it’s still a tricky one to pull off, and even trickier to transition into a 2 point version using only 1 leg.  The suspension itself was facilitated by Brazil’s Diablos Mutantes Suspension Team.

Zombies are one thing.  But nowhere in any of my outbreak plans have I taken into account flying zombies.

That flying zombie is JakeMindsnared, doing a guerrilla superman suspension at a zombie walk.

We’ve got some brand new photos in from Moscow’s Sinner Team.  The crew hosted Black Fly Tattoo’s 6th annual suspension BBQ.  With the help of a crane, they did some pretty impressive suspensions, including this 4pt modified superman, which I believe is now called the flying shrimp.  I’ve seen similar suspensions, but this is the first time I’ve seen it down with 1 point in each knee below the kneecap.  Normally there are 2 points on the sides of each knee.  You can see more photos in the Sinner Team’s BME Gallery.

A couple of weeks back Rites of Passage held their annual gathering in the woods of Massachusetts.  The ROP BBQ is a weekend unlike any other.  All of the suspensions are held outdoors with some of the best scenery you can imagine.  This year Allen Falkner brought his camera along and made this short film that gives you a taste of what happened.  After watching the video, head on over to the ROP BBQ galleries to see photos from this year’s BBQ, as well as images from previous years.

Alright, I’m at a loss as to what to call this suspension.  Is it a 4pt superman?  A reverse resurrection?  The cannonball?  Whatever it is, the Moscow based Sinner Team pulled it off.  While that is the bridge that they use for their freefall suspensions, this is clearly a static suspension.

He calls it a 2pt deltoid suspension, I call it the “not a care in the world”.  Look at Supa there, you think he cares what anyone thinks?  He’s doing this for himself, and anything else he just shrugs off.

It’s time again to check in with our friends in the Moscow based Sinner Team.  The last time we saw the gang, they had 5 of their members lined up with hooks ready to suspend.  Not just any suspension mind you, the suspension that the Sinner Team has put on the map, the free fall suspension.  So far most of the photos we’ve seen of their free falls have been from the ground, so it’s been hard to get a good idea of just how high up they’re jumping from.  Well, here’s a couple of photos that might put a knot in your gut.

And as a little bonus, here’s the latest trailer for their Free Fall Suspension film.

We’ve seen Misty on ModBlog a couple of times.  Whether it’s the scars she has, the ones she’s done, or her suspensions, ModBlog is always proud to show her off.  I had the pleasure of meeting her a few months back, and she’s just an incredible person inside and out.  Members of the suspension community know her from Hooklife, the Suspension.org equivalent of ModBlog, where she manages to keep her finger on the pulse of the suspension community.  In the past she’s helped me out with a couple of suspension related stories, and I can’t thank her enough for what she’s done.  Recently Big Mike from Hooked Suspension wrote a guest article on Misty, sharing his thoughts about this wonderful person.  Here’s a bit of what Mike had to say…

From an outsiders prospective it’s easy to see how busy she is and how hard it must be for her to keep up. She fills her days as a body piercer and from what I’ve seen an outstanding scarification artist at Southtown Tattoo & Body Piercing in Fort Smith Arkansas. She is also plays a major role in the running of her suspension team, Hanging City Suspensions. Theirs is one of the most friendly groups I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with and anybody else who has had the experience I’m sure would say the same. They did an amazing suspension show at the Freaks & Fetish, Dallas SusCon opening party that had Misty herself suspending TWICE in the same evening. It was beautiful and amazing to watch. I also had the pleasure to work with her team frequently throughout SusCon weekend and these guys are great at what they do and seem willing to always keep learning new things.

And here’s Misty at her most recent suspension with Hanging City Suspensions

She looks so serene, embraced by nature, not burdened by anything, including gravity.
