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"...

.... I keep getting these notification emails whenever someone joins this south bay group. I am this close to unsubscribing from the group, but I am giving it one shot-- is there any way to turn off these new-participant notifications while still get the emails about upcoming jams?

...yeah: with 160,000 job losses in September, too bad you "just got a new job".
Damn, right...
:D

orem, cool. Just want to make sure you're aware of that Decompression's not free. It's $20 in street clothes or $10 in costume (no I'm not going in costume after PK all day). It kinda sucks that it's not free, but so be it. You want a ride from the east bay on Sunday?

Is anyone interested in going back to SF for Decompression afterwards?

...please refer to this map for parking and meeting point.
There may be "insider" advise (better parking, WE issues...), but we haven't been training there yet, so we don't know it... =P
