Bay Area Parkour

We all know how hard it is to get up to the jams in SF every weekend. How about organizing a couple jams closer to home and repping the South Bay?

its nice for basic training, but i dont think you could do much with a jam. theres a zig zag rail, a high wall, some climbable sheds, nothing special but its close to where i live and is decent for practicing vaults and maybe playing some add on.

de anza college i havnt been to a lot, but i think it has potential to be pretty good. we got kicked out once, but if you stay out of really open spots they dont notice. plus the security doesnt REALLY seem to care, more of a "well i guess i have to kick you out".

here are some pics of de anza park

How is De Anza park anyway? I've never seen any pictures or been to the place, so I have no idea what sort of things we can train on there. Usually we train Saturdays at Saratoga High, but if that's too far we can see about trying out De Anza park or college sometime.

does anyone train at serra park/de anza park (or anywhere around there) i currently train saturdays at de anza park/serra park with 2 friends. i've been looking to hook up with other traceurs in the area but there dont seem to be many.

You're free to drop by afterschool at Rainbow park if you want.....I'm there after 7th period every day. I'll keep you posted if we go to the Sunday SF sessions sometime, maybe you can hitch a ride with us then.

1-3 or 4, usually. I'll go create the event right now, look for it!

Hello,

I didn't know about the sessions at Saratoga high on Saturdays...what are the times for practice?

If it works for you, great. My experience w/ starting groups has been in contexts where # of attendants matters, it sounds like maybe this is different.
Fyrel Comment by Fyrel on August 10, 2009 at 9:40pm
I think it's not so much of a jam as just a training session. Think of it almost as a class without a teacher, if you will. We all learn from each other's experiences and get better. It's basically to have a concrete time for everybody to come out and train. If you can only make it once or twice a month, that's fine too.
Dogwithrabiez Comment by Dogwithrabiez on August 10, 2009 at 9:18pm
I've been training with friends every day. Every week doesn't sound too bad to me. Send me a message if you want to train with us daily(the friends I'm with haven't created BApk account- which is why it doesn't show on our events), or otherwise just come to our sessions on Saturday. Though I must warn you, our daily sessions... Have peculiar times.

Even if there's a single person there, my brother and I will usually turn up to help them along. It's difficult and quite intimidating without anyone to help, so a predictable time allows newcomers on the site to come whenever they want to.
