Event Description

LET'S CELEBRATE THE CONCLUSION OF THIS AWESOME 2008 WITH A GATHERING AT THE BEST PENINSULA SPOT!
Check here for RIDES
1.4 miles from BART/Caltrain (see map)

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...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We do not expect problems or difficulties, but we know fall back locations at driving distance.
Capuchino is a secluded spot, protected from outside view; we'll be meeting on the courtyard adjacent to the back parking lot (west) at 12:00; feel free to take a look around, if you get there earlier, but AS ALWAYS avoid roofs or trespassing into buildings.

ALL LEVELS WELCOME!

Comment by BrodyB on December 7, 2008 at 7:37pm: Horray, that was fun! Except for the part of me getting benched 30 minutes in. Capuchino is an awesome place, though, I'll attend as many of the meets there as I can from now on.

Comment by Faye on December 7, 2008 at 7:59am: Not going to make it. My ankle is still in slight pain and it's probably better if i don't push it too far. I'll see you guys next weekend.
