We do it because we think quality, is greater than quantity. We do it because we think hard things are worth the effort. We do it because we thrive on the challenge and the pain of it.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend we asked our Instagram community to get out and earn some turns. We are featuring a few of our favorites below.
