Oh god, oh god, oh god. Seriously, Ascenscion Suspension out of Albuquerque puts on some of the sexiest shows in suspension (and also facilitate lots of private suspensions for people as well). I might feel guilty staring, but that’s the nature of the show so I’m not apologizing for my now dried out eyes.
I mentioned in the entry above this one that Ascension Suspension does plenty of suspensions in a non-performance environment as well. Here’s a photo c/o Steve Truitt of one I really like, held October 28, 2006. I love the expression that was captured in this moment…
I just love this suspension picture, the lighting and background is perfect (or maybe I just have a soft spot for Wisconsin, I don’t know)! It’s her first one, a four point suicide-style, done with the folks at Cutthroat in Milwaukee, WI. Getting kind of cold there for suspensions — bring your scarf!
Minnesota is Mennonite/Amish territory, right? Psychoticnortherner did his first suspension with El Verno at Holy Mackerel in St. Paul, a six-point angel. Photo by Christine Lenzen. Yeah, I know I posted a photo from this event already, but I really, really, really like barns.
Ascension Suspension sets a world record as Steve Truitt et al suspend Brandon Johnston from three hundred hooks (official count: 296) that took two and a half hours to install during their Halloween show. See also: 178 hook suspension (the previous record).

I like this action shot that Lucas Takano sent me of the Suscon Cutuvi held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
You may remember that a while back I posted a photo of the suspensions filmed for Mastodon’s Iron Tusk video — I just got an email from Aaron letting me know that the video, containing lotus and suicide suspension, has made it’s way to SueTube:
Emilio Gonzalez found a great place to suspend people when he hosted a BME party in Caracas, Venezuela in this round cathedral-roofed building!
