It has been reported that Benny’s solely responsible for the decline in the German zebra (Equus Germanicus) population. You decide.

New suspension book!

Great news, but first a big congratulations to Matt Larkin for the indie release of his first book. For the last few years he’s been shooting the folks from Rites of Passage using ambrotype photography (ie. wet plate, a 19th century technique that’s rare these days). Click on the pictures to jump to BMEshop where it’s available (and visit Matt on IAM if you’d like to see more pictures).

I’m eagerly watching my mailbox for my copy, I’ve been looking forward to this book for a long time now!

Super Humans

First up is Chris (The old Memento Mori is dead. From now on, I am.. Chris) lapsing into a superman suspension..

The protagonists are – Ken (clinging onto Capt. Stupid Head for dear life), Jessica, Michelle (not on IAM, yet), and of course Meme Chris!

All suspensions aided and abetted by the iWasCured crew – Shell, Jon, Phil and Mikey.

And of course, as always, the suspension space was donated by Badur, a.k.a. Hot Stuff.

Excuse all the links, it couldn’t be helped.

Koz and his Eliphant Thong

Here’s Koz, swinging around wildly in more ways than one, suspending at Steve‘s 30th birthday party (313 Suspension Team, photographs by Jeff C Fetish, Chicago IL).

If you’re wondering what Steve did for his 30th, he wasn’t just sitting back enjoying others putting on a show — also photographed by Jeff, here’s a shot of Steve doing his second four-point wrist suspension. I wonder what the “official” name for a wrist suspension should be. It reminds me of an escape artist act…

Medicine chest

I didn’t ask Jesse if he popped any pills before his chest suspension..
