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 Fyrel on December 3, 2008 at 9:19pm: Whoever gets there first should probably scout around and look for any sort of security; if we kept running around without permission and they kept catching us something bad would probably happen. She can't be there every Sunday, can she?

Comment by Faye on December 3, 2008 at 9:16pm: I'll see how I feel on Sunday morning. Currently, I can barely put weight on my left ankle. I might just take it easy until next week. Darnit, I really wanted to make it to Capuchino once at least.

Comment by alex on December 3, 2008 at 8:31pm: This is REALLY far for me... I'm gonna try, but it'll be a stretch.

Comment by Onibunny on December 3, 2008 at 7:34pm: So are we going to bribe the grounds keeper this time so we can use the rail awesomness in the front?

Comment by Philosofist on December 3, 2008 at 7:19pm: Awesome, I've checked this place out myself over the summer, it's a fantastic place to train. And plus, I grew up in Milbrae and San Bruno, although I lived in SF my whole life. I feel nostalgic now....>< lol
