On February 12th I fractured 3 bones in my foot. I was vaulting and messed up my steps and somehow missed the board and smashed the whole left side of my left foot into the metal pole that holds up the vault. I am still hurt because I made some not-so-smart decisions. It happened on a wednesday...

Gymdog, I don't have a kip yet, but I am working very very hard for it! I have actually been working on it for almost a year now! I think I will get it soon.
