BASE is an acronym made by the four principal spots used to jump ( Buildings-Antennas-Sppans-Earth). Differently from a skydiver, that jumps from airplanes or other vehicles, a BASE jumper jump from fixed spots, that can be natural as in the case of mountains, or artificial as in the case of bridges, buildings, and antennas. BASE is a discipline that differs from skydiving due to the materials used, the altitudes, the free fall times, and the dynamics of the jump.

Dependently on the type of course and on the engagement of the student toward it, on average are necessary between 4 to 6 days to complete a basic FJC, and between 8 to 10 days to complete a full course, taking into account meteorologic conditions.

BASE jumping is one of the most free and democratic discipline someone could do. You could easy take a parachute and jump from a mountain, but very easily that could be the first and last jump you do if something goes wrong, but no one can say no to your choice of doing it. The only thing that will help you to avoid that situation is knowledge and self love. Thinking of BASE jumping as a game for kids, or assuming that is enough to have a good experience as a skydiver are two causes of many victims in the past. But again, no one will say no to your beliefs if not yourself. On the contrary, if you participate to a BASE jumping course, organized by competent and recognized people in the international BASE jumping circuit, you will be able to calculate the potential risk and avoid situations in which you will not be able to manage unforeseen circumstances. We will put you in an optimal condition of quickly learn correctly the proper way of doing, staying into the threshold of acceptable risk. Furthermore, it will open the doors to the BASE jumpers community, a tribe with unwritten rules but with strong ethics. On you the next move!

Potentially, BASE jumping is a dangerous discipline, like many others outdoor activities, or like driving a car or a motorcycle in particular conditions. BASE will never be a 100% safe discipline, at the same level of any other sports conditioned by high speed performed in short time. Surely enough, a good technical, physical, and mental preparation, could make the difference between playing Russian roulette with your life and engage in an dangerous risky activity well prepared to handle it correctly and lucidly.

Generally speaking, BASE jump materials do not have a secondary reserve parachute, this is due to two main reasons.The first is because of the lower altitudes and the high speed involved in this discipline, which automatically exclude the possibility of having the material time to apply the standard emergency procedures present in skydiving. Secondly because of the nature of the BASE jumping parachute itself, which is already an improved version of a reserve canopy. Once a famous manufacturer of BASE parachutes said “We don’t jump without a reserve, we jump without the main parachute!

For sure not with BBS! We strongly recommend to NOT consider the idea of BASE jumping without the right experience in skydiving. Be aware of who does not take this point as of fundamental importance. BASE jumping without any skydiving experience could easily expose you to serious and unnecessary risks. Becoming a competent and well prepared BASE jumper requires time and dedication, there is nothing positive in taking shortcuts.

Once the student has completed successfully our BASE course, he or she will be in possess of all the fundamental technical abilities, and the proper mental attitude , to start and build his or her BASE jumping carrier. It depends entirely on the will of the BASE jumper, to fully take advantage of his or her own potential, in his or her own time and way. Without never loosing sight of the fact that this discipline is an activity on the limit, where every wrong decision or action could result in serious consequences. The courses, advanced camps, and coaching offered by BBS, will follow you also once you finished your preparation with us, structuring for you a post plan that better suits your exigences. We never leave our students on their own , it is a genuine pleasure for us as a school and as BASE jumpers to built an everlasting relationship based on friendship and trust with our students. We believe in mentoring rather than the standard course concept.

During the course are not been used track suits, wing suits or other subsidies.It is in the belief of the school to teach first how to walk and then how to run. Once the basic course is accomplished successfully, and the student wants to progress further in the discipline, we will be very pleased to advise and help the student to reach his or her goals. It is for this reason that we developed intermediate and advance courses. We prioritize the development of individual abilities one at the time, a priority that we have as school, that gives optimal results. We don’t want to teach advanced techniques to beginners who are taking the first steps into this discipline.
