Does anyone knows the name of this rigger? I found some videos of his performances online and would like to know who he is.
Getting to Know You: Top, Bottom, Switch or Self-Tie? How do you identify in rope, are you predominantly a top, a bottom or do you happily switch. Or are you one of those amazingly talent people who does all at once by self tying?

Wondering if there is a standardized form for shorthand/taking notes on drawings for Kinabaku?
I’m using arrows for rope direction and just putting the notes in each step. I’m betting there are a lot of places to be more efficient and cleaner for notes. Symbols for frictions or common knots/hitches.
I’d appreciate any thoughts the community has to share.

Happy to have stumbled upon this community.
I'm Vagevuur, an Antwerp based rope switch who started bottoming and self-tying in 2021 and slowly but surely got into the habit of inviting others in my ropes. My Shibari Study membership just got renewed for the 4th time, so this platform has been a very import source of knowledge and inspiration.

Hi everyone!
I'm Chris, or tfae. I'm a baby rope top (started this year) based in Gadigal / Sydney. I love embodiment and touch and approaching rope as a collaboration 🫶
My question is: what are some good resources for tying in unconventional places, like furniture or the outdoors? I love this car bondage and I'd love to explore in this direction!
Pic 1 is from a self-suspension workshop; pics 2 & 3 is from some improvisational tying on a friend 😌

Tutorial Requests
Hey Fuoco, you mentioned we could drop classes/tutorial requests here. I would love to see more classes into different suspension sequences. I guess many of us enjoy playing publicly and it would be nice to know more transition sequences we could use when performing/playing in front of an audience :)

Hello, Everybody! Happy Thanks Giving, to all who celebrate.
My name is Ash. I go by Frosty Cucumber on Discord. I've technically been tying for 9 years, but with a lot of breaks and varying levels of intensity. My latest round of intensive study has been going for about two years now and part of what's kept me so excited through this time is the community I've found through Shibari Study. You all are awesome and I'm very happy to have found such a passionate, supportive, and friendly group of kinky friends.
I've been working on a few things lately, but one that really stands out is vertically loading harnesses. The live class on this topic a while back was awesome and helped tremendously, but I still run into problems sometimes. Most recently, I vertically loaded the ShSt Fishermans Harness and the waist rope loaded like crazy. My tying partner said she's been in other vertically loaded fishermans harnesses before that didn't load it so intensely and I'm wondering if there are different patterns for that or if maybe I just did something wrong.
It makes sense to me that that wrap would always load heavily in the ShSt pattern because it's the lowest wrap and is fairly tight. I guess I could really intensely tighten the other wraps, add more wraps to the waist, or maybe I'm find a pattern that doesn't have the waste rope?
In the moment in question, I just added some rope to her legs to push against and take some of the load, but I'd love to know what other modifications I could make in this situation.
