Bridge Day 2011 Introductory Course

The Bridge Day Introductory Course is intended for experienced skydivers making their entry into BASE jumping. This course covers only the basics and includes six to eight hours of training by Apex BASE in a larger group format on the day before Bridge Day (October 14, 2011). This course typically attracts around 70 jumpers who want the basics at a reasonable price (or those with tight schedules) and includes packing demonstrations, Bridge Day logistics, malfunctions, launch practice via the pendulator, and a landing area tour. There is no instructor supervised packing in this course and you'll probably require assistance packing your own BASE rig after the class. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to BASE jumping and will not discuss any considerations for jumps aside from Bridge Day. This course is intended help students make successful Bridge Day jumps with confidence. Time will be provided for jumpers to check in with the BASE organizers and pick up their jump passes during the day. This course covers training only and jump passes must be purchased separately. Further instructions will be provided to all Introductory Course attendees prior to Bridge Day.

Attendees must meet all Bridge Day requirements for gear and experience. Refunds are not available if you can't attend the course and your credit card will be charged upon checkout. Rental gear is not included, but is available through numerous BASE gear vendors. If you have questions, please contact us.
