Welcome to Overflux.com,
the southeast usa parkour community

(est. 2004)
Parkour, or the art of movement, is moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible using the abilities of the human body.

(click here to learn more)
It is meant to help one overcome obstacles in the surrounding environment—from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls—within rural and urban areas.

As a not-for-profit, community-driven organization, overflux is dedicated to the advancement of member traceurs (parkour practitioners).
As partners in training for parkour, we set up regular sessions open to everyone all around the southeast.

Alright so I'm taking that the agreement by most people is that Auburn is up for out annual jam session.

The Date is..... Undetermined!
****This needs to be discussed, so lets start doing that. I'm proposing a weekend in April or May. So if we could get Amir to post a poll for all the weekends in those months. Maybe vote on what weekend WOULD NOT WORK.

2 Day Session would include:
-Chewacla, Sweet Chewacla's natural landscape and boulders....

-Tons of Campus Exploration

-A big traceur party at my house with:
-Large amount of food (catered? or possibly cooked in home)
-Parkour Video Viewing fun (50 Plasma Tele in the Living room)
-Great fellowship with your old friends and a chance
for the newer guys to meet the old timers.

-Possibly a night gym session in the Auburn Gymnastic Gym. Stay tuned for prices....

-Sore-day training

-Chiniese Buffet!!!!!!



What I need from you guys is basically when you can make it.

**Also to the scene reps, we need to schedule another planning conference call sometime to talk about how we are going to structure this jam and improve on it from last time.

YES!! Perfect plan. As far as food, that could be determined (catered or we cook it, ourselves) depending on the amount of people attending. I'd say 25 or less, especially if Amir and John come and don't mind directing us, we could do it, otherwise maybe catering.

For time, April would be my preference only because that involves less waiting.

Greetings from NC! I couldn't care less when this jam is held but definitely give us a heads us when you decide. I would be more than happy to grab some guys and head down to AL!

Well, April 26-30 is finals week for me. Early April or May would be best for me. I'm excited!

Yeah, I don't really care when it is either, but I know I'd love to come. I'm sure at least a couple other NC guys who would like to go as well :)

This sounds Amazing to me, I like late April would be better to may would be best.

I'm not too hopeful that I'll be able to come, which sucks cause I've STILL never been to Auburn.

04/27-05/07 is bad for me. I've got exams, followed immediately by graduation. There might also be a vacation with the folks in the mix somewhere too, which could knock out one of the other weekends in May.

Mid-to-late April would be no problem, but anytime in May looks doubtful.

I'm free for jams starting May 15... which is a long time from now, so I'll probably miss this one and make the next. School is a rollercoaster till then. :(

I'm in and am good for any weekend in March or the last three weekends of April. Also I can drive there if anyone from athens needs a ride.

Well right now I'm unemployed so I could make anything. But I hope to get a job ASAP but who knows when, where, and if that will happen, either way I'm going to do everything I can to make it out.

I'm so glad to hear everyone's enthusiasm on the next jam. It appears already that no matter what date is chosen for the jam especially pre-graduation will work for some and conflict with others. After the Auburn crew meets up to discuss best possible dates to host, then maybe well post some options as a poll and see when we will be able to get the most people.

Maybe mid to late May would be a better date..even though I would like this to happen sooner than later..hope to see some polls soon.

uhhh. if it's possible to at least figure out the month that would be good. I will plan a back trip to China in summer so if this up before May that would be perfect

I would probably prefer April because it won't be so hot out, but I think anytime would be fine for me. Maybe not the first week of May, because I have exams then.

We sure can set up a pole since everyone's got different things going on. Auburn guys can come up with a number of weekends that'll work and we can go from there!

I'd prefer maybe early May or mid-May because of finals and such in school as well as Baseball for school ends in late April so after that would be fine.

Mmm.. the taste of sweet, sweet pickle juice.

I definately cant make it early april.
This should be a grea jam, it seems like there will most definately be a large turn out, even with the many complications

hmmm. Actually March is a no-go for me, but anytime in April or May is fine.
