Calluses or (worse) "Rips" anybody? (re-run)

...this has been published ages ago on 'another forum' but the content is all mine, and I hear the topic is still interesting, thus I've gladly 'recycled' it.

[advice: gross, but useful content follows...] :)

Calluses and 'Rips':

...so: you finally had your first Parkour-related torn (hand-)callus yesterday?

He, along with Sam, (who together introduced freerunning to the Philippines), picked me (+2) up at a meeting spot and took us to QC Circle. Everyone was very friendly! We started at about 8:30am when it was probably… Continue
