Partial Practice: Xana Harness Partial

Everything you need to learn in one place to complete Gorgone’s Xana Harness Partial Suspension! From learning the harnesses, to setting up your point and practicing your lock offs, this challenge is here to help you take a first step from floor to air. We recommend drilling your uplines till they’re smooth and fully memorizing both harnesses before attempting the final partial suspension.

Partial Practice: Tengu and Waist Predicament

A simple tie that uses some all-time favorites. It can be very challenging to be tied in, and requires good observation skills from the rigger, as well as a detail oriented approach to rope placement. Small increments and subtle adjustments are the name of the game. For the person in rope: this tie can get intense very quickly, and finding the right placement for your waist rope can take some trial and error: spend time exploring, and ask for what you need. You’ll be grateful you did.
