One Response to “Basic Suspension – Part 5: Learning to Fly”



So interesting- I’ve never seen suspension done with a taut-line hitch before, seems like a great knot… thanks for this series, interesting to get a different perspective. It seems to me that suspension bondage practices vary by locality- there are specific ties that are popular in the Bay Area and that everyone seems to use, but in other areas it seems that practices are rather different (I see this in visitors, or clips on sites like this). Love seeing new techniques. :-)
