All of you have to Metra it down Chicago this spring/summer.  There's weekly jams downtown and Naperville and Arlington heights have jams every few weeks.  I'd be more than happy having a few come down to Naperville, jamming for the day, staying overnight at my house, then heading to Chicago the next day.

i live in waukegan.... and btw antioc is about 10-15mins away from kenosha(by bike probably 30-50mins).

as for lake county i've found a few good places in Lake Forest, Libertyville, and CLC in Grayslake(one of the best I've found) ... but that kinda sums it up from where ive been in Lake County

i haven't been out to antioc or Fox Lake in a couple months

P.S. I would love to jam when it warms up

for you fox lake area people, there is a gym in Grayslake that i sometimes go to along with a few Traceurs/Freerunners
it has parkour only open gym also
It's called Gymnastics Factory
it's open Fridays and saturdays
i think you might have to call for the times i forgot the specific time, but i think its 7:00 - 9:00 friday $10
and 6:30 - 8:30 saturday $8

For Friday if i'm there, i can probably convince the owner to stay open for an extra 4 hours or so
we're good friends lol

I like Tricking and Free Running, i don't think i actually do parkour, because i do it for fun and self expression, which would change the term to free running.
