woo! represent! lol.
i'm friends with G-Luck's sister, it's kinda funny.
alright. what school do you go to

[2nd Chance]

Well next year Ill be going to MA, and ranar goes to... ?

do you go to tam with g-luck? and hows he doing, by the way? lol get him back on the forums!

[2nd Chance]

ranar says he goes to sr high. by the way ranar, how's ur school for pk? MA sux.

[Mozez]

oh, are you an 8th grader/incoming freshman?
and i don't really talk to g-luck. but yeah, we both go to tam.
i wish there was a gym minors could go to to practice. my house is really small and i have a downstairs neighbor, so i can't do anything.

[2nd Chance]

yup incoming freshmen.

i kno! im so sick of all these age restrictions!!! agh!!!!

as well as there not being any gyms in marin we could practice in anyway... well see.

[NoSole]

Have you ever looked for one? I know there's a gym in Novato, which is only about 15-20 min away (which, ironically is way closer to you than Berkeley is to me! Haha!)

[Mozez]

Really? Do you have any more information on that gym, NoSole?

[NoSole]

Ask and ye shall receive!

Novato Gymnastics Center (http://www.ci.novato.ca.us/sports/Gymnastics.cfm)

I know Crossfit sometimes does classes there and they have PK classes as well, but I'm not sure how current that data is. This is a fucking sweet facility, and it's huge! You should def try to make it up there if you can. Your best bet is to call up and find out when they have open gym.

[Mozez]

Thanks! I'll look into it. I would hella need to find someone to come along, though. Unless they do have those PK classes.

[2nd Chance]

il come!!!

[NoSole]

Yeah, I actually don't know if they still do the PK classes. That issue came a few months ago when people on APK were concerned they were teaching improper technique. So I can't exactly endorse their methods, but if you have no other option it's better than nothing.

[2nd Chance]

i didnt see an open gym either...???

[NoSole]

Like I said before... pick up the phone, call them, and ask.

[2nd Chance]

good point.

[Mozez]

i found out one of my friends it taking PK classes there, so yeah, they still have it. i'll probably have more info on it next week, because i asked my friend to give me details.
sorry i haven't been on in a while. summer school mixed with five random consecutive injuries isn't very fun.

[NoSole]

Let us know how it turns out. I'm always interested on how people teach and how effective they are. Kinda wanna go there and act like a noob just so I can see what they are doing. I'd rather not go in there with them knowing what I can do... it always changes how they teach you and eliminates the objectivity. What are the details? I may just show up.

[2nd Chance]

sweet! id totally go.

[Mozez]

My friend got a packet for me about it, but he keeps forgetting to bring it with him, but I was able to find out today that the lessons are Tuesday, Thursday, and I think Sunday nights from 8:30 to 10:00 or something like that. I'm trying really hard to convince my parents to let me go to it, but living in Mill Valley, it's hard to talk people into taking you to Novato and back three days a week. I might just end up taking the bus, if I can get my parents past the whole "If you mess up, you can hurt yourself very badly" thing first.

[Mozez]

I went back to the novato gym site, and I found out a little more about the class. It says:
"CrossFit Parkour/Street Stunts Class: Beg./Int./Adv. Ages 5-12, 13-95 y/o
An exuberant combination of free running and stunt-man style tricks, this class will teach you to move through your environment fluidly and acrobatically."
It's not much, but at least it's something.

[2nd Chance]

well if we get good on our own we may just become teachers! lol

im actually considering this. i very well might go, once i get back from my trip.

[Mozez]

first i've got to get my mom to remember what parkour is, because i swear, every time i talk about it, i need to describe it to her again.
i'm like "oh, blablabla parkour" and then she's like "what? what's that?" and then i tell her about the class that i've been talking to my parents about for weeks, and she's still clueless.
in other news, i saw parkour in a K Swiss commercial today.

[2nd Chance]

haha i hear ya on the parent thing... sorry ive been gone. im back now, for good. at least for a long time. we'll see about the class...? im basically saying yes, if my mom says ok.

[2nd Chance]

actually, i just looked at the site again, and i see nothing about a pk class. mozez, can u clearify?

[evilknny9]

Add one more for marin :P

[Corndogg]

nice! and welcome. id recommend also adding "Marin" to your profile, so others can find you easier. youll def have some people to jam with up there!

[2nd Chance]

sweet! dudes, im thinking dominican college. a friend told me it might not be bad. told me theres a creek with pk possibilities. ill see if im free anytime soon, but my aunts in the hospital and my grandpas here, its gonna be a while. sorry. :'(

[G-Luck]

my bad 'gain about the long wait for a reply alex.
but you'll have to wait until spring break for me to be able to drive. I'm one of those who took driver's ed but didn't get the permit. basically, my parents' don't trust me with a car.

[2nd Chance]

dont worry, itsall good. but good to see you again!

[kingtheking]

Location: San rafael (Lock Lomond)
AIM: bloodyboxer926
Name: Alex

[kingtheking]

[2nd Chance]

so... anyone around in marin still active here?

I'm down to jam next weekend if anyone's free.

[pyromike]

Hey I'm new and alex's brother Mike i doubt he has said jack about me cuz usually he dosn't like me very much but I've seen him do a lot of parkour and hes taught me some and I wanted to learn more so I might come to some beginners jams ad stuff.

[2nd Chance]

anyone mess with my bro, you die. that simple.

just thought I should give the heads up ^_^

[pyromike]

^_^

[Beretta]

Hello Marinians, er, uh Marinites? Marinades? Mariners? I like that one, Mariners, almost like Namor.....

Uh, anyway, tally-ho, cheers, salutations and otherwise merry greetings from Santa Rosa! Saying hello and inviting y'all to come up this-a-way if ya wanna. That's pretty much it.

Word.

[pyromike]

Anyone in marin still do parkour or is it basically dead???

[2nd Chance]

go to crossfit. other than that there aren't many marin jams, go to the one's in the city.

[pyromike]

Alex you dont need to tell me over the website we live in the same freakin house

[Beretta]

We should seriously get some North Bay unity going on. If a few of us from Santa Rosa come down, can you take us to all the good spots?

[2nd Chance]

O_O good spots? hm... can you guys drive? lol. yeah, but it'd have to be a traveling affair.

[Beretta]

A traveling affair, eh? Well, one of the guys has a station wagon, if he's down we could pile into that and hit a few spots. Are there any spots clustered together? I know that from my apartment in Santa Rosa I can walk out the door and go from place to place and hit a spot every few blocks. Anything comparable in San Rafael? Like a few downtown plazas within a mile of a school?

Anyway, I'll hit up the crew and see if next weekend (7/26-27) or sooner might work for us. Would that be good for y'all?

[2nd Chance]

um, I'm actually gone this week and the next. however, check this out: http://www.crossfitmarin.com/

there's a phone number in there, ask for neal, set up a jam with him one of those weekends. seperate from crossfit, as your own thing. I'm sure he'd be down.

[FillTheAg]

so is there still a group here or what.. my gf and i just moved here and have been walking around looking for any sign of life and other then a few youtube videos and the fitness center it doesn't seem like there is much or if there is we are just not looking in the right spots.. if anyone can help or if there is meet ups and what not im definitely looking for friends and buddies to go with on a daily basis so send me a message or something

[AeroSFCity]

im up here. i live in Nicasio and work at the Crossfit Gym teaching Parkour. Alot of stuff in Marin is far apart. So unless you are jamming in downtown San Rafael, everything should be driven to.

there is going to be a BAPK Sunday Beginners Jam in San Rafael pretty soon so check that out.

[2nd Chance]

Yo, I train in Marin all the time. There's actually a pretty good group here, just not very active on the forum (I'm more or less the Marin ambassador). I'll pm you some details.

[FillTheAg]

nice i was walking around marin today we passed by the gym i havnt stopped by there yet cuase were still looking for jobs and what not so we dont have enough money to sign up for the classes or anything but we plan on it and are very excited after seeing the videos on youtube and hearing good things about it. we just moved here from alaska so its a huuge difference
