It's time.

Every year the world stops on Waitangi weekend for one reason and one reason only....The New Zealand Parkour National Gathering, hosted by the New Zealand Parkour Association. An eventful weekend involving the world's greatest people. There will be lots of jumping stuff and bags piled in rad stacks. Expect your muscles to ache, the grip to be worn off your shoes, and your mind to be blown from witnessing incredible jumps. Start getting amped now.

Time: Saturday, February 4th - Monday, February 6th
Location: Wellington

We have some sweet stuff lined up for the long weekend, including:

  • NZ's biggest gathering of parkour and freerunning practitioners.
  • Free workshop hosted by NZPA instructors.
  • Great training spots all over Wellington, NZ's parkour capital. They're also the best spots in the entire southern hemisphere ;p
  • Natural training out at Wellington's finest bouldering spot - Turakirae Head.
  • Games of capture the flag and zombie bull-rush. Parkour skills allowed.
  • The NZPA Annual General Meeting. Have your say in a pivotal moment for the NZ parkour scene.

xx HamJam 2011: Great Success!
December 10, 2011, 06:50:06 PM by NZPAdmin


HamJam was, in the immortal words of Borat, "great success!".

The weekend was spent gallivanting around the Waikato University and the centre of Hamilton with much carry on back at the Clandon Parkour Reserve.

Friday started with a bit of uni orientation and games, a beautiful evening. The rain threatened to quell the fire of the people on Saturday and Sunday but as it is with Parkour, there is always a way forward and thus new locations and routes were found and the annual HamJam BBQ was relocated to Clandon where scaffolding and veggie kebabs were-a-plenty.

Can't wait for next year!
