BASE Beginners

Hello
Hello, I am a 40 (ish) year old ex-professional motorcycle racer from London. Ive been skydiving for a couple of years now and did a Snake River Base Fundamentals course last summer. Ive booked their Object Avoidance course this July.
The reason for the intro is I’ve just received my new BASE gear and am looking for UK jumpers who would be willing to impart some of their hard-earned experience on my undeserving, rookie ass – even if I just come along to watch and learn and help in some way, any experience would be awesome. The DZ I’ve been using doesn’t have any BASE jumpers so it would just be good to know some UK jumpers.

Have you looked at any FJC’s closer to home?
If you’re on Facebook look up ‘DTMBASE FJC’ or here’s a link to the website:

Learning with someone local will increase your chances of finding locals to jump with.
