What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Low-Profile Parkour Training Shoes
RequiredGood parkour shoes are flat-soled with thin, grippy rubber and minimal cushioning so you can feel the surface beneath your feet. Look for climbing approach shoes or parkour-specific models.
Wrist Wraps for Training
RequiredWrists take the most stress in beginner parkour vaults. Light supportive wrist wraps help prevent strain while your tendons adapt to the new demands of the sport.
Lightweight Knee Pads
Slim low-profile knee pads protect against scrapes and bruises when learning new vaults and landings on SLC urban surfaces without restricting movement.
