I personally will never not trust my gut feeling.

Suspension. I did a superman; 6 hooks in my back (they couldn't pull up skin on my legs to run hooks there, so it was a little... awkward.) It was painful, sure. But the pain fades once you're up there, and then it's...
Boring.
You can't really do anything much. You can swing around, but if you get motion sick then that's not a good idea. I know a number of people that have experienced it as transcendental, and it just wasn't for me. Everything was sore for a few days afterwards, but not bad. It just wasn't for me.
It took me multiple reads to realize you weren't talking about dirtbike shocks (suspension), doing dirtbike tricks (a superman), and receiving a back injury (6 hooks in the back). It sounded like you were advocating for people to buy quality suspension components if they're going to do big jumps and tricks on their dirtbike.
Ha. Fair point.
No, this was the kind of suspension where they put hooks through your skin, and then hoist you above the ground by the hooks.
(I do ride, but only street bikes. And IMO, for street bikes, unless you track your bike regularly, your stock suspension is likely just fine.)
What...? is this a medical procedure ?
This should explain it. Well, visually, at least.
I also wondered why you weren't trying your bike tricks over a foam pit.
Note that the tone of judgement can’t be helped when asking this, but why would one want to do this to begin with?
...Because? That's like asking why people climb Kilimanjaro, or K2. Because you want to know if you can.
And it turns out I can, it is kind of boring, and makes me feel carsick.
Well that's exactly what I understood. Was it code for something else ?
They're talking about having hooks put in their back and being suspended in the air from them.
