I will try and be there. Any specific place I should look for or anything? Like a specific park or JUST downtown?

There are times when you want to break down and rage at the heavens. Don't. Stay calm, and let the emotions flood in, accept them and then rise above them. Never dwell. Don't fear or worry. Anything worth thinking about is worth talking about. And... Good luck.

Are you referring to where you should meet?
If so, we usually meet under the Arch at the top of the steps.

If you want to look for pictures of specific locations within downtown Saint Louis, I would suggest that you look for Kiener Plaza and Citygarden. Yes, Citygarden is in fact one word in this case.

Quite a few. We are probably looking at roughly 30-35 people. We are trying to get permission from Bob Cassilly (owner and creator of The St. Louis City Museum) to use his property called Cement Land located pretty close to the downtown area. If it's approved we may try to carpool over that way during the jam and if we do get permissions, it's expected to be the biggest jam yet. A standard jam here is roughly 20 people. Most people don't come up from Springfield. This is, however, being hosted by MOpk and not STLpk, therefore the reach is wider and people from all sides of the state are expected. We are hoping to pull KC people over.
I always face north, therefore I have no guides other than my body and mind. By always facing north I am always moving forward and up, regardless of the obstacle in my path.

Cool, I'm from Arkansas (right at the north border) but I can take a few hour drive for a jam with that many people.

Hey Jesse, whether or not I'm going to be able to go is still up in the air, but I'm sure SOME people from Springfield are going, and if so then you could drive here and then carpool the rest of the way.

That's a great idea, Eli. I hope most of you can make it to this jam!

I think I can finally give an almost definitive I will be there. I also found three people that may be interested in coming so hopefully I will bring friends. But I can't wait. This looks to be the first jam I'll be able to make t too.

I'll try to go, it would be fun to actually parkour with a large group of people.

I'm glad to see this many people interested aside from the normal groups. If any of you are on facebook you can search MOpk and join the group as well as RSVP for this. For anyone closer (most people know so I won't make a separate post) there is a jam on April 24th but don't come from far and wide for that one. It's not nearly as hyped, but, if you're close, why not?

You can always train with pxc. Go to stlpk.com and sign up over there.

What skill level do you need to be at to go to this? I'm guessing I don't have enough experience to hang with you guys haha
