California Jam Spring 2010: March 20 & 21
« on: December 13, 2009, 02:56:10 PM »
Who: You are invited!
What: A jam to celebrate the beauty and diversity of the California parkour community.
Where: Northern California, in the Greater Bay Area, specific locations TBD (suggestions welcome)
Why: If you can't answer this for yourself...
When: March 20 & 21, 2010 Let's kick spring off right!

How: This will work best with your help!  We'll need help coordinating places to stay, rides for people during the jam, info sharing on carpooling from other parts of the state or country, cheap airfare, etc., etc.  This is not just an opportunity to train and have fun, but a chance to deepen the connections with traceurs from other areas, as well as develop leadership skills within the community.

After Shane Daniels set up a big California Jam in October, several of us from all the communities involved in that thought it was too awesome to not happen again.  Hopefully 2010 will be a great year for California, with a Spring and Fall jam and another Massive West Coast Jam.

We'll try to set up an efficient means of communication for all those willing and able to step up and help lead on this (I need help on that), but for now you can email me directly at beretta@sfparkour.com (or respond to this thread) to let me know you're interested in helping.

I'm going to have to talk to my parents on this here I want to meet some California Traceurs here because there is virtually no scene here in my area in Kings County.

Don't hold your breath.

But maybe.

WAIVER:

Please print out the waiver, sign it, and bring it to the jam! If you are under 18, please have your parents co-sign. We will have some extras at the jam as well.

What a blast!  Thanks to everyone who came, hosted people, traveled hours or spent hundreds to get there, gave someone a ride, took pictures, had fun and just was a part of it.  I'm really pleased to have been a part of it myself and I can't wait for the next one!  I hope some of the local guys are inspired to go visit LA, Indiana, Hawaii, Denver, etc. having met traceurs from those places this weekend.  I know I can't wait for this summer's National Jam season, and I'm really grateful for all the friends I have from all over.  Over the course of the weekend I had I think 8 people from 3 different states stay at least a night with me and it was more fun than a barrel of monkeys at my tiny little apartment... in fact it was a barrel of monkeys.

All my friends from LA, CO, IN, HI and wherever else, the PK couch is always open to you!
