VA State Jam - UVA

So today was the Virginia State-wide Jam (first annual!) in Charlottesville, which involved a long drive and an overnight stay. We woke up early, got some breakfast in, and got to the meeting point. After a nice warm-up (that was pretty grueling for some of the kiddies), and then began a few simple jumps and rolls. A little child started imitating us! It was adorable. And the kid was fearless, to boot. Jumping all over the place!

There was miles upon miles of walking around, as the University of Virginia is a very widespread campus. The spots were all pretty amazing, though, offering uniqueness in movement. QMs, balances, vaults, density and sparsity, walls of varying sizes.. Pretty much anything you could hope for. We had a ton of great guys (and one gal!) out and jammed, socialised, and had a blast. Was about really.. just being a community. And sharing a love for movement.

I'm proud of Virginia. I really am.
