History

Swing City was founded by @Robert Chapin and @Jessica Cail in 2010. It gestated out of the community at the @Original Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, CA.  The goal was to take the vibe, sharing culture and acrobatic fun we have on the beach, to Black Rock City. As Black Rock City (aka BRC) is a gift economy, we thought it would be a great way to gift what those of us love about the beach to the greater community on The Playa.Robert Chapin designed a rig structure that we create in such a way that we could build a reasonable facsimile of the traveling rings we all know and love, to share with BRC. You can see the structure of the rig & the vibe of our camp here and here: ::embed[https://Playa.Robert]{provider=playa,type=card}
