City Jam (13-nov)

Going for a run through the city next friday !
Just another random jam dedicated to going for a run, getting to know people & show off what we have learnt in the past week.

Will be meeting at center stage, having a quick warmup & chat then heading around the city. I have got 9 really good spots to check out, so we should get around 10-15mins at each place

Going to be a Freaky Friday Jam, so start getting your costumes ready
Will have prizes for best costume & pic of the day & other stuff

Jams open to all, so be sure to tell all your mates ! ! !


WHERE: City Mall ( meet at center stage )
WHEN: (13-11-09) Friday the 13th 3:30pm - 6:30pm


might wanna bring a spare set of clothes if your coming in a costume
also we'll be hitting the clubs afterward (still in costume) all are welcome to join us
if you have any problems or are late and can't find the group: 0466 461 067

I'll be coming. As a Tracuer. lol.
Nuh. I not sure yet.

I found this website/club this week and I was wondering if there are there any requirements, like age etc...... I'm 15 years old.....

Welcome to the forums mate & looking forward to training with you in the future. Feel free to start a topic in "introductions" and tell us a bit more about yourself & how you got started into parkour

nope we have quite a few 12-16yo's training with us
And as i always like to say "Parkour, even a 5yo can do it" !

Cool! Thanks!

Just because you did parkour when you were 5. xD

WERE you doing parkour when you were 5?

You should see if you can come to the jam, The C

The 1 on Friday? I probably will.

Awesome.

Lol. I was born on a friday the 13th.

December 1996 Friday the 13th. BAD LUCK TO ALL!

HAHAHA suck

What does Séparez votre esprit à libérer votre puissance! mean?

Separate your mind to unleash your potential

Josh. What are you coming to the Jam as?

HA HA !

you'll have to wait and see

nah mostly structured training session, we defiantly have to get another one going though. Riverway would be pretty good but might have problems with security.
I had a few regular jams down apleins weir ( witch was pretty good ) but not to many people come.

City's probably the best spot but not to sure on everyone's thoughts, anyone got any good spots they would like to train at every week ?

I reckon the place you found would be good Josh. Round the back of Tobruk was it?

Schools are usually great spots for parkour. My old school Belgian Gardens has heaps of stuff to do there. Ocassionally there are teachers there but only one that live near the school and theres only two. And some people do go to the school grounds on weekends.

That was buggered.
Step mum picked me up late, when I got there
Everyone gawn.

It was fail. Josh did something to his ankle

hmm i thought it was 4 o'clock, but id have missed it anyway

So sorry guys, yeah found out i have fractured my ankle :S
Doctor said to keep from jumping around for a few months.

I don't think that's going to happen , but i think i might take it easy for the next few weeks, will come check things out still, but don't expect us to do much

So yeah, not good =/
How'd it go/ what cosumes/ any pics ?

Most events i throw together are purely based on 'whenever i got some spare time' so probably can't change time around to much although i'm sure we can have a nice 30min warmup around the same area we meet to kill some time & allow others that are late to catch up, or you could just give someone you know that's at the jam a ring ( my numbers everywhere )

On the good news my foots going alright, feels heaps better but still hurts a bit when i walk on it. Can still vault, but have to take-off & land on my other foot lol,

TGS! WOO. How did you stuff your foot, Josh?

not to sure :S
I thought i twisted my ankle, but the doc said something hit it ( both i think )

oww. How long till you can do pk again?

lol i haven't stopped

Lol?

Guys I want everyone to see a lesson in this...

Josh's ankle is sore, really sore. It's probably going to be sore for quite some time, certainly a lot longer than it would have been if he'd gone to the doc straight away and then gone home and followed the docs instructions and iced it and kept off it for a few months. Call me an old man, call me un-cool or whatever but I'm the one who's fitness, strength and usefulness is increasing rather than being stagnant or going backwards...

No offence Josh, I'm sure you know you're doing the wrong thing, but it's stupid. It's also not a great example to others, particularly the younger Traceurs on here, who look up to you when you're laughing about continueing to train while injured.

none taken mate, can see where your coming from.

it's not as abad as i first thought ( still should be off of it for a while ) but guys, if your have an injury the last thing you want to be doing is parkour or some sort of sport that's going to put stress on your injury.

When i go out and train over the last few weeks i have been training my foot, not parkour ! Light jogs, pressups few vaults, been keeping my foot active & landing on it really softly.

It's pretty good now, i went out for a decent train yesterday after work, so back in action, just dont expext us to do to many big things

Anyways guys, Train hard, Train safe & Cya's @ the next Jam !
