Hey everyone,
I have several updates. First of all, noone really showed up for the Dundee Autumn Jam, due to the heavy rain that we had all day. if only it was a day earlier, or a day later, we would have had a nice sunny day...but yeah, we're re-scheduling the jam to a weekend at the end of September sometime, so stay tuned!
We now have a twitter account, on which we post our major updates, so please follow us on: http://twitter.com/DundeePK
Today the Street Devils came down to Dundee to train, as it was James' 15th birthday. Happy Birthday James! We started the jam with some tricking, at the church outside of the overgate, and continued the jam on several new-found spots in Dundee, and just basically all over. We trained from 12:30pm until 5:30pm, and had a very good session to get warmed up again for university to start.
But anyways, everything seems to be getting back on track, and I really hope that more people will start coming to training sessions now..for now we just always train on Sundays, and we meet in town at 1pm, outside of the Church by the Overgate.
On fresher's week we're going to be about campus, so if you are interested in joining us for some training, please find us! We'll be the people who do random flips throughout the week..you might even get to see some breakdancing if you go out in the evenings...
I wish you all the best, and train hard!

ps
There will be a jam in St. Andrews this coming Saturday, so please feel free to come along! It will be a good training day, as we will try and concentrate on training tricking on the beach. Just send me an email at: dundeepk@gmail.com

August 23rd - Dundee Jam!
Hey everyone!!
We are announcing our "Back to School" Jam, which will be held in Dundee, on Sunday August 23rd. This event will focus on training and motivation before we all go back to our universities, schools, and before our community slows down a bit for the coming winter months.
The jam will commence at 12pm, at the Seagate bus station. Bring cameras, water, and money for food, as we'll be jamming until Sunset, if not later, and will then wrap it all up with a trip to either Pizza Hut or Jimmy Chungs. This event looks really promising, as we have learned a lot about running a jam from our last Dundee Spring Jam.

This time around, we will also get to see some newly discovered hotspots, so come ready for an awesome and fun day, and we hope to see you there!!

The Midgie Magazine
Hey everyone,
On Sunday, May 24th, we had a journalist from The Midgie Magazine, a travel magazine which is published all over Scotland, come and interview us/take pictures for an article that they are writing about Parkour. They are focusing on the Dundee Parkour community, and therefore the article will be all about DUPK! These are great news, and will hopefully raise a greater awareness of our sport here on the East side of Scotland, and will help dispell some of the negative publicity we have gotten in the past.
The article should be published in August, so please keep a lookout! I will also keep you updated..
Train Hard,
Rustic

Great video with good flow, from the guys over at PKFR International:

International Parkour Day
APK (American Parkour), DUPK (Dundee Parkour), and PKFR International are declaring the first Saturday of June to be INTERNATIONAL PARKOUR DAY.
This will be a day when groups across the country get together to celebrate the art we all love (Freerunners are invited as well). We chose the first Saturday in June because there are no conflicting national holidays, and unlike dates like "David Belle's Birthday", it will always be a Saturday.
We'd like the day to include an important element in the parkour community, a "Leave no Trace" cleanup. We hope you'll join in on what we hope will become a tradition of celebration of Parkour and Freerunning. We'd also like to emphasize bringing new people out on this day or taking extra care and time in interacting with the public and curious onlookers. Please check this thread for links to local jams and events. Please email your events for that day to m2@americanparkour.com or dundeepk@gmail.com and we will post them on our sites.
DUPK,
Rustic B

This article was actually written by Syn from PKFR International, I just changed it from national to international by confirming our participation.

Dundee PK Jam Video
Hey guys!
The video for our first ever parkour jam hosted in Dundee, is up! Please check it out. As you know, we had traceurs from all over Scotland come down for a day of training here in Dundee, and we received both news and radio attention. As I was leading the jam, though, I didn't get most of the good PK footage, so the video consists of mostly tricking, I think..but it's a good overview of the day, in my opinion.
If the other guys DO finally end up sending me their footage, I might make an actual parkour video for the jam in the future.
But for now, enjoy! :D
