Big Red Squishy Mat was a beloved training mat at the Athletic PlayGround. He put up with a daily assault of somersaults and flying monkeys. After years of beatings, he developed sores and lesions and his edges frayed. He dropped several pounds and lost squishiness around the middle. We had to let him go. He has gone on to gentler hands where he can live out the remainder of his long life. We wish him well.
