[sgnsp235]

I got my first rip today!!!
It was my first day doing bars, and i was trying to do pullovers, and at the end of practice, i looked down and there it was!
I was soo happy until i tried to wash my hands, and put peroxide on it...i almost screamed cuz i didnt expect it to hurt as much as it did!
Not looking forward to future rips, but I feel so accomplished now that I got my first rip!

Here it is! Sorry its so big, cb wasnt letting me make it smaller
