Event Description

LET'S GET NORTH AND SOUTH BAY TOGETHER 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 12:30; 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 Youssif on January 28, 2009 at 10:32am: Hello all. My son Youssif (13) is brand new to this, although anyone will admit he has "hops". This will be our first event. In the future I may be able to offer rides from Hayward/Castro Valley, but sometimes I work weekends so it's hard to say. Anyway, we look forward to meeting you guys and seeing what it's all about. I think Y. will really enjoy it and is perfectly suited for it, as he is athletic, lithe and agile, but not interested in sports .... see you Sunday. -mom

Comment by Fake on January 28, 2009 at 7:19am: Count me in if I can find a ride. Is anyone heading down that can drop by SoMa?

Comment by Seng on January 28, 2009 at 4:14am: No carpool for me this time- going to be in Tahoe for the weekend.

Comment by Fyrel on January 27, 2009 at 10:21pm: .....what's football? ;)

Comment by fluffybunny on January 27, 2009 at 10:04pm: Hey Bio (how've you been, man?)...if I can bum a ride, I'd love to come along...

Comment by Iliketovaultthings on January 27, 2009 at 8:46pm: hells yea

Comment by hillexallen on January 27, 2009 at 8:20pm: I'm just not sure if I'll be able to make it. Of course I love parkour WAY more than football, but this one might not be negotiable.
