The Running Man — Simply Suspended

This is a suspension class designed for Riggers and bottoms who are new to flying.

To attend this class...

• The Rigger must be familiar with a suspendable upper body harness that supports the bottom
• Both the Top and bottom must understand safety and risk management in rope bondage

In this class, we'll be practicing the Running Man position, a fundamental shape suitable for Riggers and bottoms who are new to suspension.

In this class, we will be covering...

• Tying single columns for suspension
• Leg ladder
• Upline management
• Basic body manipulation and lifting technique
• Effective communication in rope
• Body management & active bottoming skills
• Finding "the shape" in suspension (option to explore transition)

Not sure if you are ready yet? Message us at @Nocturnal_Events and we will try our best to evaluate that with you.

What do you need to bring?

• 6-8 x 30ft rope (but feel free to bring more!)
• 1-2 short ropes
• Synthetic ropes for upline if that is within your practice
• You & your bottom's aftercare needs.

The host will also provide yoga mat to tie on, snacks, and water.

Common Q&A

1. Do I need to bring my own rope?

Yes. If you don't have your own rope yet, this class is probably not for you.

2. Do I need a rope bottom?

Yes. You will need a rope bottom to practice with. If you are a switch, pair up with your switch-y friends! You learn the most if you could experience both sides!

3. What should I wear?

For Riggers: Anything you feel the most comfortable in. You will feel warmer than your bottom, so don't put too many layers on!

For bottoms: Tighter clothes are the best. For example: tank tops and yoga pants. If you wear bras, please remember to take them off or wear wireless bras for upper body ties.

4. Why is this class more expensive?

We have limited suspension space, hence we have to raise the ticket price to cover rent & compensation for the instructors.

5. Will I be able to learn to suspend someone?

Yes. This class is focusing on an up-and-down suspension with an option for exploring transition.
