the ground course
You ask - we deliver! Our LTBJ BASEic Skills Course is designed to deliver a solid foundation of knowledge and experience leading up to your future in BASE jumping.
BASEic Skills Courses are often followed by our BASEic Canopy Course. This is the perfect combination, since the BASEic Canopy Course offers an extension to the canopy work you will touch upon during the BASEic Skills Course; so these courses can be combined into 4 days of invaluable pre-BASE BASEic training!
Whether you have already booked your BASE course or you are thinking of heading in that direction, come and join us for some hands on introductory training, from the ground up, with our instructors.

What Can I Expect?
This comprehensive course focuses on providing you with a solid foundation of BASE specific knowledge, along with the chance to jump a BASE canopy from the plane. We want you to leave the course with a greater understanding of BASE jumping both practically and ethically, so that you can return to the dropzone with a training plan and clear goals in mind.
Topics include:
- Basic weather
- Rigging & packing
- Gear checks
- Ethics & Respect
- Environment
- Site evaluation
- Body awareness
- Exit technique
- Mental & Physical fitness
- Preparation & Visualisation
- Malfunctions
- Emergency procedures
- Canopy & Landing accuracy (BASE canopy from a plane)
(We will do our best to make sure all topics & jumps are covered but remember, this is a weather dependent sport and sometimes we don't get all the jumps done... that's why we offer to come back whenever you like.)
