I want to play! I have been sequestered for far too long, it's time to get moving again.

If you're still in DC (or back in DC) over Thanksgiving, join me for a Jam Saturday the 28th at 2pm. I can't decide where to go, and am taking votes:

Gallaudet
Meridian Hill Park
Dept of Labor

Let me know if you're planning on coming!

Check out the thread here: http://www.americanparkour.com/smf/index.php/topic,22373.0.html

kharvilak is visiting from Caroll County + we haven't been is Silver Spring in a while = Silver Spring Jam!

I suggest to meet behind the Metro exit (the spot with a nice wall run, some good rails, etc, just on the back of the Metro) at noon. I expect people to move on slowly toward Zen park around 2pm, which is when I hope to join the party.

Hey everyone, this is event was created to help get a lot of people to go to the sports and learning complex for an open gym. It's happening because my mom and i pestered a chair person so we have an open gym happening.

But we need solid number of people to actually show up to keep them going!

Feel free to come, even if you have no previous experience or anything! Also, try to tell anyone who you think would be interested about it and send them an invite!

Thanks so much for your help!

P.S. Ill try to get the waiver out as soon as i can!

From Triphopx's post:

Its that time again.  Last year this was quite possibly my favorite parkour outing (see old thread http://www.americanparkour.com/smf/index.php?topic=12541.0) and we had upwards towards 25-30 people show up.  This has also been cross-posted to Facebook http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=153314016804&index=1.

We will meet at Primal Fitness (219 M Street) at the crack of dawn time of 5:00 am to caravan out with an arrival time of approximately 7:00 am at Old Rag.  We are going so early because we were contacted last year by volunteer Shenadoah guides who were concerned about the impact of our presence during peak season (e.g., gawking tourists, kids trying to emulate tricks, etc.).  Earlier is better anyway because we avoid the glut of slower folks and there are certain areas that people can only pass through one at a time.  We'll have more space to play.  Also, please remember to stay as close to the marked trail to respect the environment and the vegetation.

We will spend a good chunk of time at the top to play so plan on being out for most of the day.  If our numbers are as big as last time, we will leave it up to each car to do any post climb food (there are some nice places in Sperryville closeby or Warrenton which is a ways down).

Drivers, please let us know if you can drive.  Riders, please let us know if you need a ride.  Everyone be on time because we will not wait for stragglers.  Remember the metro and buses do not run that early.  Consider crashing at someone's house who lives nearby (e.g. I live fairly close to Primal and have some crash space) or crashing with someone who has a car and is going to meetup at Primal.  For those who prefer to meet us at the trailhead, aim for 7:00 am, but note that coordination may be difficult at that point.  We found that those who came separately didn't catch up to us until the very end or missed us.

UPDATES: There is a possibility to sleep over at Primal, please inquire with Travis; we need a headcount of riders vs. drivers, 'cause no one wants to run that far; best place to post your answer is the forum!

I'm tired of working on my dissertation, so I'm going to go play outside.  Join me at the Mt. Pleasant school, 1pm this Sunday. 18th st nw and newton st. Call 202 257 9496 if you get lost.

Logan put it thusly:

"So I managed to get accepted into a school trip to Africa. I'm gonna be leaving on the 26 of October. I wanted to do something awesome before I left and thought "Hey, I should throw a awesome jam before I leave". So, I am trying to organize a jam along the lines of Rob's Conditioning Jam from last year, and if Rob wanted to contribute to the planning that would be pretty awesome. Info below.

Place: Gateway Park, Rosslyn
Time: 10 AM to 4 PM
Date: October 18

Notes: Depending on how many people come and what we do, the jam may go alot longer.
You can take the Orange/Blue line to Rosslyn..."
