28.5.2022 Semisuspension basics
In this workshop we learn the basics of suspension techniques by tying in semisuspension. The person tied will have some of their weight on the floor and some on the ropes. All ties are done close to the floor for safety. We go through safety and risk of suspension tying and Elie will teach their “cross legged hip tie” in the workshop.

You must attend with a partner - no switching
Rigger can tie single column tie and basic frictions well
Your tying technique is fluent
