PROGRAM
Currently there is a strong need for
training advanced techniques in the sport of BASE jumping. The problem is there
are a few people who can do it and few places to do it safely.
Due to an overwhelming
request for training we have decided to begin a new methodical approach to
developing the sport at higher levels by running the first ever workshop in
advanced techniques within a legal and safe environment. We
hope this will increase knowledge and safety within the sport and develop training methods
for use by others.
The trip will be tailored to a group
of six individuals and will run through three countries in 12 days. These
individuals will be trained at the highest level and will hopefully then share their
knowledge with those they are regularly jumping with in their local areas.
