Event Description

Massive West Coast Jam! WRAP-UP here!

Saturday May 23rd during Memorial Day weekend BAparkour and PKCali would like to bring ALL the West Coast communities together for a Jam in San Francisco. San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area are among the best places for parkour in the nation. There are training grounds galore and friendly hosts to show you around. We hope to bring traceurs from Southern California, Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and beyond to San Francisco in order to establish a stronger bond throughout the West Coast.

On May 23rd there will be an all day session spanning five locations including WWII bunkers, a wooded trail run, school campuses, and concluding with a big barbecue at Golden Gate Park. On the days surrounding the main jam there will be satellite sessions that anyone can attend.

Comment by Frenchie on March 23, 2009 at 7:56pm: I'll do my very best to make this

Comment by Amadraeus on March 22, 2009 at 12:02pm: I will do my damndest to make this thing despite my crazy work schedule. There's a chance that I might be able to arrange a sleepover at CrossFit Marin on Friday or Saturday night to accomodate some of our out of town visitors. I'll post again when I have more information. Thanks for helping to set this up, guys! Cheers.

Comment by SafeNSure on March 22, 2009 at 11:35am: I imagine that we will have a specific carpooling thread (aside our regular "Rides", which may need an update...), and more organizational tasks and "to-do" lists getting close to mid May.
But thanks for the enthusiasm!
:)

Comment by alex on March 22, 2009 at 11:14am: I'd be happy to help with anything you need, too. If anything needs an extra pair of hands, I'm in if you want.

Comment by Rafe Morgan Kossak on March 22, 2009 at 10:27am: I'm Coming from Fairfield, Anyone carpooling? Or Can Someone give me the Bus i Need to take and Which station of Bart to get off at. It's clearly starting on the complete opposite end of town.

Tnx.

Comment by Seng on March 22, 2009 at 1:48am: My schedule is unpredictable as always, but I've got space over here in Berkeley: 1 couch, 1 aerobed, a couple Thermarests and backyard space for a tent for those feeling almost like camping. Walking distance from Cal (10min) and BART (20min to downtown station).

Comment by a robot on March 21, 2009 at 11:04pm: AP testing (for me) ends on the 12th, so I should be able to show up. See you all there!
