Send us Fan MailAs a result of the joke regarding Master Nick napping, he retaliates in this episode by leaving in Lady Dee’s moment of forgetfulness to show all listeners what it’s really like living with her. Still discussing Day 1 from the A Frayed Knot 3-day Self-Tying Summit, the final two classes with RedHoneyRopes and Dirt Queen were detailed out.  RedHoneyRopes instructed the class on a chest harness as well as the Futomomo leg tie. Dirt Queen then provided the fundamentals of lower body harnesses, by having participants tie single columns on all areas of the legs and then taught a booty basket.  Day 2 of the self-tying summit was impressive with every mat and every station having a suspension rig. Mika and Lilith were forced to take point on the discussion of the classes from the second day when Master Nick heralded in the crickets.  Snapped Ginger did an amazing job covering the basics of self-suspension safety, hardpoints, where to buy equipment, rating of equipment and tying an upline.  After attendees suspended backpacks and bags, Air then covered the next step of tips and tricks for self-suspension allowing the class to interact, ask question and get feed back before suspending. This was followed up by the class from RedHoneyRopes who ties an Agura in partial suspension - Lilith was impressed with the beauty and strength of this tie. Although they were unable to attend Dirt Queen’s class on Self-tie synthesis: transitions through levels, they did hear about the class and saw picture of Dirt Queen and Air’s suspension results from labbing it out.
