Great To See there is Interest! So here is Info, thus standing, for the Memorial Day Jam '09 in Fort Collins, Co.
What: MEMORIAL WEEKEND JAM - STORM the FORT 2009!!!
When: Saturday 23rd May @ Noon. Some of Us will be there by 11.30a.
Starting Where: Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Co, meeting @ the Lory Student Center & Bus Depot.
Who: Every Traceur You Know Should Come!
What's Happening: Starting with a Good Warm-Up, Continuing with a Great Parkour Jam through out the Day. Also, We will be featuring a Parkour Game or 2. The Main Game you should know about before hand so you have time to prepare; so here it is:
Parkour Relay: This is a Relay race designed for teams of 4. The Relay is to be set over a specific & limited area filled with unique obstacles. The "Baton" is a light-weight backpack that must be passed off. Just like in a Traditional Relay, The Baton Must NOT be Dropped & it may not be passed to a teammate by throwing it. Unlike a Traditional Relay, a runner must perform 3 parkour-type movements in their sprint. Any Runner who does not disqualifies their team. This is for 4-person teams so get with you Traceur Buddies & start practicing!
What is meant by Parkour-Type Movements: Running & jumping is a part of Parkour but
that is basic, required, & doesn't count. What I am refering to is Vaults, Underbars, Rail to
Rail Percisions, QM & maybe even Rolls. General Stuff like that.
Purpose: to Practically apply Parkour skills, Work on Flow in motion, Teamwork, & have
a lot of Fun! More on this Game Soon!

Take the Mulberry Exit in (3rd exit in if from Denver).Travel West on Mulberry (toward the Mountains) till you hit College Ave (approximately 4-5 miles ish?)
