lol... beat you to it =)

.: Adam

My name is Mike Coons (BigMike) and I am the Director of HOOKED Suspension Team in Omaha, NE. I am also acting executive director of DisGraceLanD Entertainment which is a partnership between my team, DisGraceLanD Hook Squad (NYC), Skin Mechanics Suspensions & Steelworks(Fort Lauderdale,FL) and NASSAU CHAINSAW DisGraceLanD Demolition Committee.

I first got into suspensions after my first time up in 2004 and attended a Suspension Seminar taught by Allen Faulkner and Erik Dakota and put on by Professional Piercing Information Systems (PPIS) and Skye Renfro.

After attending that seminar and NorCal SusCon that year and the next I started HOOKED in Omaha in 2007. WHat started out slowly has grown into HOOKED having 20-30 members and holding an event every month where we suspend anywhere from 7-15 people.

My team has attended the Dallas Practitioners SusCon every year it has been held. This event is for promoting the safest way of facilitating suspensions and has classes to help newer practitioners as well as seasoned suspension artists.

I believe this forum was made to help pass out information to potential or experienced suspendees, as well as to help practitioners to learn new and safer ways of doing things. But like Adam stated, we nned to keep the bashing down.

So I offer up my experience and expertise to anyone who has a question involving suspension of any kind.

P.S. If you are looking for solid suspension groups in your area please go to www.suspension.org. They have a list of worldwide suspension teams.  Otherwise ask me and I will do some research and get you in touch with the right people.
