Overview
The Bridge Day 2011 BASE Jump Course is intended for experienced skydivers making their entry into BASE jumping. The course includes three full days of instruction, offering more comprehensive training than the 6-8 hour Bridge Day Introductory Course, and is taught by Apex BASE during Bridge Day week (October 12-15, 2011). This course typically consists of 15-20 jumpers who want advanced training and the ability to pack by themselves. In addition to the basic skills needed for a successful Bridge Day experience, such as packing, exits, and canopy flight, this course covers malfunctions and object avoidance theory. A Bridge Day BASE Jump Course manual, technical handouts covering topics like static-line tie-off knot, a T-shirt, and a packing DVD are also included. Launch practice via the pendulator and a landing area tour are provided.
Attendees must meet all Bridge Day requirements for gear and experience. Upon successful completion of this course, all students will receive a discount coupon good for 5% off the price of a full set of Apex gear. This course combines in person training with simulated exits and some home study. Participants will be expected to review (and practice) study materials received after signing up (sent to you in early October), prior to arriving at Bridge Day. Primary emphasis of the course will be on a successful Bridge Day experience with additional material covering further training for your progression in the sport of BASE.
Class size is limited to 20 jumpers. Since instructional materials will be sent to you prior to Bridge Day, your credit card will be charged upon checkout. Refunds are not available if you can't attend the course, but we may be able to offer credit for a future class. Rental gear and jump passes are not included in the price of this BASE Jump Course. If you have questions, please contact us.
