Christo1985,

When you say, "...over there...", I'm assuming you mean the United States. If that's the case, then yes, there is a fantastic place to take a First BASE Jump Course. Several of the BASE gear manufacturers and a few experienced jumpers host courses in the state of Idaho. There happens to be an object there quite suitable for this type of instruction.

Do a couple quick searches here and you'll find some information.

If, however, you mean in the vicinity of Chicago, then no. There aren't any good places to learn the basics of BASE in Chicago.

Cheers,
