Fox and Mya discuss how you know you’re ready for your first rope suspension. They cover:

• What are the skills you need for rope suspension as a top, including technical skills, practical non-rope skills, some mechanical principles and safety

• What do you need to understand, and what are the things you need to be able to do as a bottom, including around your body in rope, the less-fun possible-consequences so you can accept the risks appropriately, and the concept of active bottoming

• The kinds of equipment you might need, from rope to the hard point, and keeping control of the scene

• How you might put together a plan for your first suspension
