How do you base jump?
You must first learn to skydive from much higher altitudes at a skydiving center. Take an Accelerated Freefall course at Skydive Hibaldstow near Leeds. once completed, you will need to rack up your jump numbers to around 500. Learn how to do formation skydiving, freefly, tracking, fly your parachute. After this you may be ready for a BASE First Jump Course. All this should be possible in about 3 years if committed and properly resourced. Most importantly, do not compromise on your training, or you will not be prepared for BASE and your likelyhood of an accident will be higher.

Where can you get Base jumping?
If you mean, "Where can you get into BASE jumping", then the answer is all over the world! First, it is best to start with skydiving. Take an accelerated freefall (AFF) course which is 8 jumps. Then buy your first parachute and begin to rack up the jumps. You need around 500 to really learn how to fly your parachute and know something about freefall. After that if you are really interested and have accepted the increased risks, go do a First Jump Course. There are some in Norway and some off a large bridge in the USA.

How can you join skydiving?
First you'll want to find a dropzone near you. The United States Parachute Association website (www.uspa.org) has a tab on their front page directing you to a page where you can put in your zip code or city and find dropzones near you. Then you can give that dropzone a call and find out about their rates and what they offer, or just drive on out and see for yourself. For your first jump you can make a tandem jump where you are strapped to an instructor who is wearing a parachute. This allows you to get the thrill or skydiving without having to worry about landing or anything else since your instructor will take care of everything. For those who want a bit more control or those who may want to continue skydiving and get their licenses most dropzones offer an Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) course. The course starts out with 5-6 hours of classes teaching you everything you need to know to make that first jump safely. For your first AFF jump you will wear your own parachute and two instructors will jump with you and remain by your side holding on to you and keeping you stable throughout the freefall. After you pull you will fly and land your parachute by yourself (with an instructor over radio walking you through it.) If you like skydiving you can keep going through AFF and once you have enough jumps and have demonstrated the necessary skills you can get your skydiving license.
