Oh man, that is not incentive for me to go to gym class tonight.
Suuuuure you were Steve. :-P
What a jam to come back to pk. It was an awesome time with great people. Thanks to everyone who made it possible and everyone who showed up. What a way to start my summer vacation. :-D

Another Ankle Update (last one, I swear)
It's official, I have a second-degree sprained ankle. The doctor told me i probably sprained it the first time around and then when I twisted it again, I messed it up pretty badly. I'm officially not allowed to run on my ankle for at least a month or so. (4-6weeks according to the doc) and that definitely means no parkour.
I'm pretty bummed out about it but I know if I try to test my ankle too soon, I'm going to hurt it further. I'm probably going to continue working my upper body and doing oth… Continue

Ankle update - I'm going to be out for a while
I managed to re-injure my ankle at school today while it was raining. I twisted it and it popped even worse than I did at Acro. I can't even walk on it now and I'm pretty sure a visit to the doctor is in order now. I'm pretty sure this means I'm going to be out from doing pk for a while.
Just in time for my twenty-first birthday, tomorrow. Lame.
I might make it out some jams just to take some video footage. My dad gave me a digital video cam for my birthday and I'm itching to make some of my o… Continue

Injured and feeling like an idiot
First time I've been to the gym in more than a month, extremely happy that I got myself out of the house and looking forward to doing pk to get my mind off of the impending finals I've got. And I roll my ankle on the first run I do across the floor, popping something in my ankle. It's swollen up and now is bruised up the bottom part of my calf.
I'm super annoyed at myself right now. Let this be a lesson for all the kids, make sure you know exactly where you're putting your feet at all times. Al… Continue

Random thoughts
I'm still new to parkour, I definitely admit that. My first session was literally a month ago at Sloat, one day before my archaeology final. (Which I know now was probably a bad idea since my quads were so sore the next day I was almost crying when I had to go down stairs, so sitting in a desk for two hours and ever time I moved, I winced...bad.) I remember seeing those parkour videos on YouTube and in movies/music videos, etc. and thinking "Wow...that's amazing. Too bad I'll never in a million… Continue

Yeah...I'm sore.
Kaos was right. I'm sore. Great idea to do the day before my finals. Owee.
I had a lot of fun though. I'll be at the beginner training jam the sunday after next or maybe sooner.

These write ups are good stuff.....A lot of the times I mean to do the same kind of thing, but I'm terrible at getting around to it. Keep it up, it's really interesting to read about other people's experiences.

Practice "Controlled Hazard" - expose yourself gradually to more risk, get used to danger, be prepared for when something goes wrong, because it always will.
Welcome!
I am in San Francisco, so a lot of other people. What neighborhood do you live in, and what days/times are you looking to train?
-Alex
jason's on vacation and i may be running late and sick :[ but if any regulars show up, they know the drill!
Check the events calendar- there are groups training in some part of the Bay Area almost every day of the week.
