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 NoHero on May 21, 2009 at 12:42pm: Hey all! I'm new to the area. I can fit 3 people in my car and I'll be leaving for the Jam at 9-ish from the Lake Merritt Bart Station. Send me a message on here and I'll try to check this website a couple of times a day.

Despite my telling them about this event more than a month in advance, my parents have scheduled my gradfather's 80th birthday party for 4:00 on this day.

I am still coming, but my mom will have to pick me up at three.

Comment by Seng on May 20, 2009 at 2:22am: Holy cheap tickets, Batman! If anyone's on the fence about coming up from SoCal, I just priced out a Thurs-Tues LAX>SFO on Virgin for $107.20 round trip including fees and a Thurs-Tues SNA (Orange County)>SFO or Fri-Sun LAX>SFO on Southest for $109.20 round trip.
