Flight School: Suspension Bootcamp

Ready to lift off? This immersive, full-day intensive is your launchpad.

Flight School is designed to help you bridge the gap between tying harnesses on the ground and full suspension. If you’ve been working through our Containers series - or building harness skills on your own - this class offers a structured path forward. We’ll guide you through suspension fundamentals like uplines, attachment points, and load management, and help you select, sequence, and troubleshoot harnesses based on your suspension goals.

This isn’t about learning to suspend "in our style" - it’s about developing the judgment and skill to create safe, sustainable scenes that work for you and your partner.

You’ll Learn:

✅ How to tie and lock off uplines with confidence

✅ Choosing and combining harnesses for effective body support

✅ Troubleshooting common issues in beginner suspensions

✅ Communication strategies and in-the-air body management

✅ Core concepts of suspension safety and risk mitigation

🧰 You Should Know:

1. This class is for tying pairs; we won't be addressing self-suspension in this workshop.
2. The tying partner should have experience with a range of chest and hip harnesses and be able to tie a secure single-column.
3. The partner being tied should be capable of sustained communication in-scene.
4. We have plenty of loaner straps and carabiners, but you're welcome to bring your own if you'd prefer.

🪢 You Should Bring:

1. Suspension-capable rope set (harnesses + at least 4 uplines)
2. Suspension ring (optional) + carabiners
3. Safety tool (shears, strap cutter, etc.)
4. Water, snacks, and anything you need for a full day of tying
