Parkour, the urban acrobatic sport, has been growing so strongly the last few years a dedicated Saskatoon gym has kids on waiting lists, eager to try out the sport.
“One of the best things about parkour is the community around it. Everyone is always there to help each other and even if you go to another city for a jam, you will have friends immediately,” said Tyler Harder, who co-owns the Empire Parkour gym.
“Everything you do has risks, but in parkour, knowing your limits, starting easy and knowing how to fall helps a lot to mitigate that. Not many people get major injuries doing parkour, precisely because we build up to bigger jumps and flips,” Robertson said.
