BASE Jumping
First BASE Jump Course
Your first BASE jump is only the beginning. Our First BASE jump Course is designed to give you a strong foundation in BASE – not just the skills to make your first jump, but the knowledge and decision-making needed to continue progressing responsibly.
BASE stands for Buildings, Antennas, Spans (bridges), and Earth (cliffs) — the four types of fixed objects we jump from. Unlike skydiving, BASE jumping introduces you to lower altitudes, subterminal jumps, complex environments, and variable weather conditions. Because of this, the stakes are higher, the margin for error is smaller, and your preparation must be rock solid.

Going into the FJC with scotty and Julia brought some interesting challenges being a larger person in the BASE world (6'6 and 245 lbs) but they took a bunch of measures to secure gear for me to use and make sure it was as safe as possible, I learned more in this course than I even imagined I could going into it, and the whole time was a blast, I dont think any other course could have been so perfect for myself, they went far out of their way to hook me up, help me order gear and answer every question I could think of, absolutely recomend this course to anyone looking to do an FJC!!

Base with the bobs is the best way to get into the sport. From getting measured to all the pre-course instructions to the low instructor to student ratio I’d do it all over again.

Julia and Scotty were great coaches, I learned a lot and definitely recommend them to start in the Base environment. From the beginning they helped me set the logistics and prepare the course, with packing proficiency and canopy drills in a skydiving environment. They prepared me through the course to be a responsible Base Jumper and assess every jump. Having completed 15 jumps during the course and 2 by myself, I feel super stoked and happy of this new experience and family. Also a mention to my teammates, all of them humble and skilled skydivers, I am glad we shared these days together.
A big hug!! I am looking forward to jumping with all of you again soon!!
