Event Description

Let's TRY to do this again!
NORTH AND SOUTH BAY TRAIN TOGETHER AT THE BEST PENINSULA SPOT.

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...

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

Ha! And it's free, in case you were wondering...

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 PRESENT AND WELCOME!

Hey, I want to apologize to newcomers and beginners coming today, because there was really little "training" and, instead, lots of jammin'.
Not that there's anything wrong with it, but we usually lead and coach beginners a bit more/better.

Thing is, due to the rainy season, we didn't get much fun in a while... and so we did today!

Comment by Bay Area Parkour on April 4, 2010 at 10:38am: Rain showers developing around early afternoon.
In reality rain has been anticipated from 3pm to 2, to 1pm now, due to wind from SE at 16mph gusting to 21mph.

Joint Session at Capuchino is OFF.

Volunteers will gather in the Lower presidio under the freeway ramp for some run-around...

See you guys there or next Sunday!
