Interested In Jams? POST HERE!

Adam

Welcome, all, to the new forum! I was away and unfortunately missed the great creation! Anyway, this thread will hopefully be sticky-ed, the idea here being if your interested in jams/sessions/hurting yourself doing stupid things, then post here with a brief description of your current skillz0rz if any and where you are located I guess.

Once we get the numbers we can start organising meets!

To get the ball rolling, I have NO EXPERIENCE per se. I am crazy though! So you dont need experience neither ya hear?! And I'm located in Cavan but would spend my free time in Dublin City (the probable location of meets).

So what about you?

Diarmsquid

I'd be interested!

Skills: Not a lot. I can roll when I fall and jump over stuff. I can do a "monkey", a "dive" and I'm working up the courage to try more. Hopefully a jam would offer me inspiration to try more stuff.

Location: Marino, Dublin. So anywhere in Dublin is cool for me.

Anyone know of any particularly good spots?

Hi, great to see a forum on this.

Parkour's something i'd love to get into. Like you two i don't have any experience but ain't afriad to try. Any idea's how to get started??

Im a student in UCD, supposedly it's a great place to do it because of all the concrete buildings and walkways.

I'd be up for it, never really "done parkour", but I enjoy jumping over things, down steps, vaulting over obstacles in different ways etc..

Dave!

Go on my sons! I'm not into parkour (well, just watching), but if ye start getting jams going then it could really take off in Ireland!

Diarmsquid

Do we have anyone on boards.ie who has experience in parkour?

Fuzzy_Dunlop

im not too interested in taking part really but my friend does do it and he is always going out to dun laoghaire doing it so that my be somewhere to start, i think there a fair few of them. i would of thought there'd be soemone here with some proper experience.

Mr_Roger_Bongos

Yeah, see this is the thing, you really need someone to show you at least what they're doing so that you can copy it until you find your feet.

There is a group of kids who run around the corporation building, maybe we could kidnap one of them!

Hey Guys

First up great to see something like this being set up!

Secondly im one of those kids that goes running around the corporation building!
My name is Andrew! im the spokesperson for Urban Ghosts we are the first Big Dublin Parkour group and have been running together for almost a year now!

Id be more then happy to help anyone interested out, me and the other guys in my group are always happy to help new traceurs!
Dun Laoighre is really nice place to go for a run! UCD rocks when you dont get moved on also a good few places in the City Centre but of course you should be able to do Parkour everywhere like just walking down your street!

Look forward to hearing from some of you guys!

Also check out www.parkour-ireland.com its where most of the traceurs of Ireland gather to exchange information and arrange sessions!

P.S me and another guy from my group where actually thinking of doing a run in Carlow sometime during the summer! i dont know the area but he does and says he found some nice places!

bishopLEN

I yust to do it alot when I was in school, thinking about it now makes me smile.

Just noticed this forum, I'd love to get into Parkour. Live in New Ross at the moment, but going to be living in DUblin next year for college. Absolutely no experience though =/

Alex-Face

Hey guys, Im Alex, and me and a few mates are startin up a crew, but yeah i made a forum and all so i was wondering does someone wana come to a meet some time, like in stephens green? great general place, im in clontarf.

But yeah, I have minor experiance in Parkour, but i can do a few basic things.. but just a tip for reflex kinda, when im walking down o'connel street, or henry street, i run instead, and no matter how big a crowd, just run and try and dodge people, and run jump and roll to get from a-to-b and its fun too.

but yeah anyone interested in a meet? like sunday week, 25th of june? its a sunday. It will be in Stephens green park? Just to try and give the parkour community a boost and share and show off your skills

Psykobolik

What time and where in the green? I know its not huge but it is big enough that two moving groups might not find each other.

Teq

To be honest my major draw back is my stamina. I don't run a lot at the moment, so keeping up with a group of speedy people's would be more of a challenge than climbing/jumping/hurting myself would be... nevertheless I'm willing to follow Psychobolik there into humiliating myself anyway :P So Dublin city is good for me too. And I hope you guys aren't being modest, because I really need to get back into the bounciness of the whole thing... :cool:

((by the way, I'm amazed UCD doesn't have a society for this...))

Too old for it, but would love to come and watch. A friend is into giving it a go though.

What time is proposed for it, and whereabouts in the green?

ANarcho-Munk

I don't have too much experience in parcour but I do quite a fair bit of rock climbing which is some boost. I'm based in Kerry and there's really feck all places to do a nice bit of free-running.

Does anyone know of any good spots in the south for a bit of parcour?

Black Jack
