Beyond the Boot - Better Ankle and Foot Hangs

Description
Level up your ankle and foot ties! Most people's suspension repertoires include basic ankle cuffs and gravity boots. We deepen and expand this repertoire by comparing precision nuances of three different ankle cuffs, single-point suspendable foot tacos, and building off these concepts to introduce our unique Zero Gravity slipper. The slipper has been tested on a diversity of bodies with synthetics and natural fibers, and has an intensity level between ankle cuffs and foot tacos but is stable through
transitions without the bulk of a gravity boot. Risks and safety are discussed in the class, which are informed by Zero-Gi and Sam Jay's unique experiences with two successful single toe suspensions and regular use of dropping into foot taco only suspensions, as well as rigorous partnered and self-suspension experience. This class is for advanced rope people only although all levels may observe. Partnered and solo participants are welcome, as is Switchcraft.
Prerequisites
Advanced suspension - Be able to safely and confidently suspend in foot and/or ankle-based ties with your partner or self.
