I'm in Pittsburgh, but I'm a bit of a beginner.  By a bit, I mean I am a beginner.  I've been doing the APK Warm-up for the past month or so to try to build back up my strength, since I haven't done any sort of weight training or that sort of thing for about 3 years.  I've just begun working on rolls also.

Spiff, shoot me an email at jrainey@andrew.cmu.edu.....maybe we can work out to do some training.  It'd be nice to have someone around who can point out why my hip bone keeps getting hurt whenever I roll on a hard surface.

I live like 20 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. 

I've been into parkour for a while and have been training but I'm getting more into it this summer than ever before.

Hey, I go to pitt and I'd love to get some jams/regular training sessions together.

My AIM is rolandsxenocide, so anyone in the area interested in getting together lemme know. Theres tons of great places around the pitt/cmu campuses. If anyone happens to also go to pitt, I'm trying to start up a club for next year, so contact me if you're interested as well.

im about 30 minutes from downtown.  I go to central catholic in oakland, and i am a beginner at parkour, just started right now.  Pitt has a bunch of sweet spots up on the hill a little below the pete.  I've rode bikes up there, theres some sweet walls and rails and stuff.

I haven't been over to the galleria or south hills village for parkour at all but my high school isnt bad.  Do you and your other people want to set up a training session downtown some day next week or something.  Where exactly is Jefferson Hills is it near Thomas Jefferson or what??????

the closest place would be either the stop in library or the village, isn't that only like 1.50$ for down and back?

i dont know but as long as your not gone for more then 4 hours you can get a transfer and the whole cost is probably under $5, yea just wondering when you say library do you mean as the township cause if so theres this awesome abandoned school right next to the main trolley and if your into urban exploring i recommend going and exploring it, its awesome
