Sean621 0 #2 September 19, 2005 there is a guy operating at your home DZ but you should speak to other jumpers and gain a more rounded idea on what course suits you before you go opening your wallet. go to www.basejumper.org and see what answers you get on the forum there.http://www.extreme-on-demand.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #3 September 20, 2005 Definitely ask around on the UK forum. The only BASE course I know of in the UK has a very sketchy reputation. Be aware of what you are getting into. With Morpheus (previously mostly preferred by the UK BASE set) sitting out of the instruction business, I'd say Apex is your best bet, but you're going to have to travel to the States for that.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeatlast 0 #4 September 20, 2005 Hi there Definately ask around before commiting yourself. You need to be 100% that the people who are teaching you are acting in your best interests and are suitably qualified. Remember its YOUR LIFE in THEIR HANDS. Ask plenty of questions before deciding on which one to take, preferably find one which is reccomended by other (experienced) people that you know and trust. I have relatively little experience of BASE and you should ask as many of the more experienced guys as you can and then make your own decision. Having said all that, I have been to two different courses based at the bridge in the USA and can say they were both good courses !!! So if you can go there it's a great and (relatively) forgiving object. There are several courses run by Tom A, Apex etc based there. Alternatively, nearer to home, you could have a look at Paula and Ulli's course based in Spain see www.baseeuphoria.com James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
