So Lucky!
“I always feel so lucky to be a living canvas for such amazing artistry and then to have it captured so beautifully! I just wanted to share the names behind the work with people who would appreciate it..

“My son was born today (22nd of June) at 4:35 p.m. He is 7lbs 8oz of good old fashion baby! I am so stoked to be a daddy and I’m pretty sure my kid is the cutest thing that ever walked or will walk, soon enough! His name is Tieran and it was kind of a hell of a ride getting him out, scary shit! I can’t wait for him to come home so I can give him all the lovin’ in the world!“

Suspensions in Oslo
This video was shot by my friend Bastian (on a cheap $99 camera) during the Oslo Suscon and and I hope it gives you an idea of how beautiful the atmosphere is during a suspension. Bastian also sent me the following to go with the footage..
“The chap suspending is Morten, he’s Norwegian and was part of the crew at the Oslo event. He’s been featured on ModBlog before although he wasn’t named (he’s the guy on the right), anyway he was contemplating a two point chest suspension but changed his mind at the last moment and decided he’d like to do a two point resurrection instead! He went up on Håvve’s back (unfortunately I didn’t capture that on video – it was amazing, as if it were nothing. He just leaned on Håvve’s back and was lifted from there in no time at all!“

“This was so incredible to watch that I thought “Hey, let’s try this too” and decided to cut down to two hooks at the end of my own suspension. Alas, I didn’t manage to let go of the rope because it was just too intense and painful for me.“

A “Chunk” Of Baby Ruth?
Get it!?
The two people I had to explain this to told me that it was “before their” time, well, it’s their loss.

Happy New Ear!
I’m not sure if Liam meant squat in the sense that this lobe splitting* was performed in a dilapidated house or it’s the name of a studio I couldn’t find using Google (my money’s on the former) either way it was done by Richy in Birmingham, England.

* – Technically it’s a lesser-known form of the C-section, known in Birmingham as the V-section.
