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.

WOOT!!!!!!!

Comment by Faye on May 23, 2009 at 7:39am: Last final was yesterday and what better what to celebrate than with parkour?

Comment by Seng on May 23, 2009 at 3:35am: Got open spots in my car from Berkeley. I'm planning to head in slightly early (prob leaving by 9.30am) because of.... vault box! The parkour equivalent of a mini quarter pipe. Premiering tomorrow at the bbq. Call me 8.30-9ish, whoever wants a ride from the Berkeley/Oakland. (415)pi-0370

Comment by Pyromatic on May 23, 2009 at 1:37am: Why do you host all the cool things right after I left for summer? That is just not nice.

Comment by NoHero on May 22, 2009 at 11:34pm: Ok, I've got one rider and that looks like it's going to be it. see you all tomorrow!

Comment by kingtheking on May 22, 2009 at 10:57pm: 12 more hours...

Comment by Bay Area Parkour on May 22, 2009 at 3:25pm: IDEAL weather outlook:
temperature between 63 and 68
humidity 50%
breezy afternoon ("only" 15mph)

Nevertheless: it's San Francisco!
Pack a heavy sweater for the late PM/occasional fog...
