We could also make it easier to facilitate this: adding profile slots for Facebook/Twitter links, subforum for local training, etc. What would make it easiest for you guys?

An unofficial meetup calendar would be great.

We've already got a calendar installed but not used that allows this type of thing. Would anyone else use it?

Sounded like an excuse for me to go to the city on a Sunday, do some gymnastics and then go hang out with friends in the area.
Dunno how convenient it is for you, but I believe the Berkeley gymnastics club has open practices during the week; might be worth looking into.

Second.

I would!
I think that perhaps starting with local meetups and, perhaps once or twice per year, organizing regional meet-ups where we could get more people together and really have some fun, would be great.
This will probably be slow to start, but give it a few years and I think it will grow quite a bit.
A calendar would be cool. Right now this community subforum is fine i think to organize meetups. AS the number and frequency increases we could have a meetup subforum or something
I second the local meetup sub forum. We're so spread out that I think that would be best, so we can each post individual threads for different areas to just see who lives closeby whom.
I'd prefer it be separate from the main Community forum, so it can stay more organized and not flood this forum with extra posts. Then we could also sticky the post popular areas for ongoing reference.

I vote for adding profile slot for facebook and subforum for local training!

that sounds bitchen. i'd definetely fly up every once in a while and would be more than thrilled to host anyone down in the caribbean.
Billabong, QuickSilver, Lost, Fox racing, Oakley, Redbull and etc always do trips over and we usually show them around.(surf and tourist related)
I'd be stoked to fly out and about though. the Sept Seminar is right now on my calendar.
Daniel Burnham said:With that said I will be organizing another meetup in may in Atlanta. As of right now these are just fun meet ups. When people start getting GB certified I suspect there will be more organized sessions.
I know i'd definitely like to be tested at some point, so I'm down for this for sure!

In case you haven't noticed, Cory added a Facebook and Twitter profile slot. Go to My Profile > Edit Profile to add.
Hari, I actually used to work out with the UCBerkeley NAIGC club when I worked at GoldenBear in 2011. Sometimes they work out on Sundays at night. But to be honest, I don't really want to go back to Berkeley much. Walking up that hill is a pain in the butt.
But I left Norcal during the first week of April. I generally lift or work M-Sa, so going out during a weekday would not be possible and I could easily just go to Davis or West Sacramento to go to an open gym (or just do floor rings stuff at Midtown while I was there).
It remains to be seen if I will be going back to Sacramento this summer. Possibly, which pretty much only leaves the weekend to do anything gymnastic wise per my schedule.

I'll pass this on to Cory, thanks for letting us know.

The Invincible Sun said:Cool. One of my crewmates is in Delhi. Since we are mostly a dancing crew and m nt sure abt the gymnastic facilities in Delhi I ll enquire around. I live in Jalandhar, Punjab and the only one who engages in gymnastic bodies here. However I do share the info with other crew members but they focus on the dance aspect more.
I ll try to be in Delhi around that time.
PS: Good to see one more fellow from India
