Event Description

Check here for RIDES.

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...

Basic/beginners training provided, but ALL LEVELS present and WELCOME!

Minors and Newcomers pls. check this frequently asked questions about liability. =)

Comment by kd5bjo on May 10, 2009 at 7:48am: They fixed the hole, but all of the real gates are unlocked from the inside. Just get the attention of somebody already inside and ask them to let you in. Alternatively, the people that hop the fence can prop open one of the gates.

Comment by orem on May 9, 2009 at 9:31am: yeah if there's still that big hole in the side of the fence your friend should have no trouble

Comment by Philosofist on May 8, 2009 at 1:53pm: Is there a way to get in without hopping the fence? I've got a friend who has a lot of trouble hopping fences (bad past experiences), who is pretty psyched up about coming again.
