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.
