One Giant Leap- Dundee Jam Review

Hey Guys,

Here is a little recap from the One Giant Leap jam we held in dundee.
On Saturday the 26th of September DUPK held a jam for the One Giant Leap campaign, in Dundee. It was supposed to be the biggest coordinated jam in the world with more than a hundred cities participating worldwide. Ours was probably the smallest with only 3 people attending. ( ...Bitches, lol) :-X

The three attending traceurs were Rustic, Andrew (ASK) and me. We gathered at Baxter park for a little warm up before heading over to the high school right next to the park.
We found a spot to practise different movements such as dive rolls, precision jumps and kongs. After some very amusing attempts at chain surfing we grabbed our bags, got some drinks and wandered down towards town. To our amusement Rustic side tracked us into a music store to play the piano for a while.

Later we found ourselves at a familiar spot behind the Overgate. A very nice security man told us we had to clear off as we had no permission to film on their property. He did tell us where to go to ask for permission which is more than most of these villains would do. Prior to this incident though; Andrew mastered a giant leap of over 12 feet after launching himself of a wall. Amazing!

Overall it was a great day. We got some good video that we sent off to the One Giant Leap Campaign people to be edited into a compilation video for the whole event. Here is hoping andrew's leap makes it into the cut!!
