Event Description

This week we'll go visit our South Bay friends!...
Check here for RIDES, but let's also discuss about "caravaning" there together...
If you drive your car down, please post where you leave from and how many spots you'll have available, thanks!


Session description:
This training provides a healthy atmosphere for new practitioners to start parkour, and for everyone to advance in a safe way. This is achieved in several ways. Because safety is paramount, a positive example is set by the more experienced practitioners. This means you will always see warm ups, stretching, and slow progression of movement. It also means there will be no showing off, which leads to copy-cat behavior and subsequently injuries. Rather, people pass on knowledge humbly in a group effort to advance. While there may be several different skill levels represented at these sessions, everyone keeps a beginner mentality.

Another key aspect in this beginner atmosphere is the absence of media. There are no camera crews or reporters to get in the way or cause people to feel self-conscious. While individuals may bring cameras, they should politely ask before filming/shooting anyone other than themselves.

The perception that parkour practice is (and should be) fun, yet being "a discipline, not a game", is set from the beginning. While the atmosphere is relaxed and can be playful at times, horseplay is discouraged, and teasing, mocking, and cliquish behaviors are not tolerated...

Because of the longer commute from SF/Berkeley/Oakland, this session will start promptly at Noon and phase out around 3PM...
Please make sure to be there, but also wait patiently (
exactly at the spot marked up on the map) for the "caravan"...

Just wondering, are we staying around that area, or will we be moving around?

20 peeps or so, from the South Bay, signed up in the last 10 days!

5 + the 4-5 I invited. Dunno how many will actually show up.

You make it sound like we're bringing a party. It's just around 5 people, not including us two.

Most the people I'm bringing are fairly docile. If not docile, really determined to start Parkour.


Look on the bright side, if they get too loud, we just force them through rigorous conditioning! That'll shut them right up, I'm sure!

All right... we'll bring a loudspeaker...

Seriously: consider that being guests in others property, we'll have to display the utmost disciplined manners.
A noisy mob may face some unwelcoming attitude...

Fair warning: Fyrel and I will be inviting just about everyone we know, in an attempt to get more South Bay people to start Parkour. We'll have a bunch of newcomers, so be ready!
