I really need to find somewhere to train for the Jumping Spider. That and I need to get shoes that have some traction.

I would seriously sell them if: A. Someone was willing to pay the money for them. B. I didn't like feeling like the white Bunpei. I would consider buying them if the price wasn't 3x what it would take to buy the materials myself. Because, you know, the shipping would be a b****.

B. I didn't like feeling like the white Bunpei. I thought all Swans were white Because, you know, the shipping would be a b*tch. Buy in bulk and just pay for one truck to ship it all in. Course, you'll need a bigger closet.

I would also charge you the labor it takes me to rip the Salmon Ladder, Spider Flip and Jumping Spider out of the ground. Cement can be a b****!
Quasikoz, most shoes other than TredSafe work well. If you can find a shoe with a smooth, rubber bottom, chances are it will work fine. As for your nowhere-to-train dilemma, BUILD ONE!

I'm moving to an apartment early August, so I wouldn't have anywhere to place to put if I built one. I did find a couple street alleys that would be a good start. But you get better grip with brick than plexiglass I imagine.
I think the only other route would have to be to join the student Gymnastics Club here at Penn State but who knows if they'd let a 27-year-old geezer like me in it. At least then I could make a Jumping Spider out of some tumbling mats or something. Plus ropes! The only ropes I've been climbing have climbing ropes meant for belay. Those suckers have quite a bit of give.
