I would like to get in touch with people who are doing street climbing, urban climbing. I am doing a video documentary on urban sport.
Thanks

Rumor has it that there is a crew using abandoned elevator shafts to practice jumaring somewhere in Brooklyn. If you find them, let me know who they are. I need to practice too.

Thanks, Kim

Look in the holding cells at various precincts throughout the city. :roll:

Are you kidding? People might do it, but the cops are cracking down so hard that I'd be amazed if you found anyone willing to be filmed doing it.

wow, the brooklyn navy yard would be AMAZING. the problem is that they keep pretty tight security. there are probably also some nice spots along the guanus (sp?) canal but I suspect if you started climbing those factories they'd crumble under you

it'd be just like skateboarding:

cop: "you're filming yourself committing a crime. Do you see something wrong with this?"

skateboarder: "no"

I was walking down W. 22nd st. today and on the south side of the street somewhere btween 5th and 6th aves there is a gap between two buildings that would be perfect for a fist jam\open hand jam. people gave me odd looks as I stoped and started putting my hand in it. hmmm maybe some day soon I will wear somthing other than flipflops and try going up a few feet.
