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.

I'm so excited about this month. The Jam, my birthday, and the Terminator movie is coming out on May 21, which looks AWESOME. I might watch the movie after the Jam.

Comment by hillexallen on May 6, 2009 at 12:26pm: Giorgio is very wise.

Comment by SafeNSure on May 3, 2009 at 10:08am: to Josh: you CAN do that!!! (Lol!)
We do wish you luck, but feel you've got pretty lucky already with parents that don't have unreasonable expectations, like good grades, good behavior and such things...
:D

ps: I'm a parent, who remembers being a teen...
;)

Comment by Josh Park on May 1, 2009 at 11:01pm: Okay talked to my parents and as long as i wake up early (before 8am) everyday till the jam i'll be able to go. wish me luck :D

Comment by hillexallen on May 1, 2009 at 9:38am: I can't wait for this!!!

Comment by Bay Area Parkour on April 29, 2009 at 6:07pm: Depending on where you're staying, it might be better to drop your backpack at the hotel (even if room unavailable yet), due to the distance to be covered during the day.
BART will get you downtown in 20', and peeps will be able to pick you up pretty much anywhere in town (we might set up pick-up points).
Organizers will be busy setting up the day, and guides (which may be driving from close to SFO) won't probably get going before 10AM.

Comment by cak010 on April 29, 2009 at 5:40pm: I'm flying in early on Saturday (arrive at 8am). Anyone able to give a ride to the meet point from the airport or should I just use public transportation?

Comment by cak010 on April 29, 2009 at 5:38pm: Just booked my flight and hotel.

Comment by wasabe on April 28, 2009 at 12:57am: I have my plane tickets. This will be my second trip to SF within half a year =D
Also, would anyone be interested in jogging through Golden Gate Park and down Ocean Beach, either before or after the day's festivities (~7 miles)? I'm looking to do this on Thursday or Friday of that weekend.

Comment by Krazy K on April 26, 2009 at 12:02am: is anyone going to get a hostel in san fran? and anyone from sacramento (elk grove) going besides me?
