Bazair2air 0 #1 March 27, 2006 I just completed Jimmy and Martas Apex BASE FJC course last week. The course was extremely educational and covered much more than I had expected. I have been doing research for several years on BASE jumping but I learned more during this course than I did from years of research. All of the questions that I have been saving up were quickly answered. The best part about the course was that it was great fun! Jimmy and Marta are a very friendly, high energy couple and they are always fun to be around. I feel very privileged to have taken their course. I highly recommend the course to anyone considering an FJC, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Jimmy and Marta!!! Also, special thanks to Adam Foster who additionally assisted me with packing and jumping technique. You are the greatest, Bro! I truly appreciate it. What I did not expect during my trip was the warm welcome I received from all of the TF locals. They invited me to their homes and gatherings as if I were family. We had some great times, the dinners were absolutely awesome and I learned a lot from them also. Thank You!!!! That was the best vacation I have ever had. It was great to meet you all and I hope to see you again soon. If you are ever out Colorado way, let me know. My home is your home. There is no way I can compete with Tom and Cheris incredible Tri Tip dinner but my spaghetti is not too bad. Have Fun! Chris Bazil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bazair2air 0 #10 March 27, 2006 Hey Justin, how are you? Plan on having a great time! As far as advice, the course is non stop from am to pm. If you are proficient at packing before you get there, (which I was not) it will free you up for additional learning. Other than that, plan on having a smile that will last a long, long time! Have Fun! Bazil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
