Dundee Jam A Success!!

Hey guys,

I just want to thank everyone for showing up yesterday, despite the "light" rain, and making our event all it was cracked up to be! I wasn't expecting it, but during the course of the day we had 5 reporters and photographers following us around our favorite spots here in Dundee. This morning, an article was printed about the event, in The Courier, and you can find it here:

I would also like to thank the guys from Glasgow, Edinboro, Kirckaldy, etc. for making the trip over to train with us.

Our day started off with a quick stop by Caird Hall for some photos and interviews, after which we made our way up to and through campus, and then back to the Overgate to finish the day with some Pizza Hut and McDonald's! :D (not the healthiest of choices, but excused by the 7 hours of exercise prior) Then after some people caught their busses back home, we stopped by the DCA for a cool-down session. After a short discussion on the glasgowparkour.co.uk forums, we were glad to find out that everyone had a great day, despite being rained on from time to time.

The jam video should be out within the next few days, just as soon as we get hold of everyone's footage to compile one good video..

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this event as awesome as it was!

Also, I would like to thank everyone involved with the media, for covering our event in a good light, and for helping us get more known amongst the parkour community.

April 26th - First Annual Dundee Jam

Hello everyone,

We will be hosting the first annual Dundee Parkour Jam on Sunday of April the 26th.
This will be the first ever big event for dundee and this part of Scotland. You might call it an awakening. Media coverage should be present, in the form of several reporters for a local newspaper, and DUPK will be filming several videos. Bring your cameras!

We will be meeting up with everyone at the Seagate Bus Station at 12pm, and will then hit the streets. If you`re not from here you might be surprised, but Dundee has some pretty crazy hotspots to offer.

Bring cameras, water, and money for food. We will jam until Sunset, if not later.

Get ready for an awesome and fun day, and we`ll see you there!!
