Testimonials
When researching courses, you shouldn't take our word for it, here are some quotes from emails that students have sent us about their experience at our course:
"Hey Marta and Jimmy!
Thanks a bunch for giving me the time of my life!, you guys rule! thanks for taking the time and giving me a ton of great information for me to use in the future. the course you guys put on was amazing, and i will never forget it. I cant thank you two enough. and i cant wait to see the dvd."
-Dillon
"Thanks again for a great FJC! I know I speak for the entire crew when I say you guys made it an unforgettable and absolutely positive experience. Much to my woman's chagrin, I'm already trying to squeeze in another weekend in TF before I head to Argentina in August to feed my ski addiction."
-Fritz
Thanks for the superb training! I was impressed with both your and Mick's expertise, your eye for detail and experience.
And of course also with your personalities.
-Antoine
"Just wanted to take the time to thank you for a wonderful experience in my FJC. Your staff excels in all areas from basic customer service, to ordering products from the site, answering questions, training, to the actual jumps. I was a bit nervous but Jimmy and Marta's professionalism and expertise in BASE put all my fears to rest. They were so helpful and were able to pace the course with our mixed group (# of skydives ranging from 158 - 3000) so everyone had a great time and we were even able to get 6 BASE jumps in. I did ALLOT of research before I selected a course and APEX base is by far the best option in my opinion! Read the reviews, ask your friends and I think you will agree...Thanks so much and see you at Bridge Day!"
-John
"Hey Jimmy and Marta, Many many thanks for being the amazing people you are bringing something as amazing as BASE safely to people looking for that kind of rush. Nolan, Kelly and I are still on such a high from last weekend. Nothing could have really been better about our trip and the course. The pace at which it was led was perfect and the way information was communicated left us all feeling confident in ourselves and each other once you left and we were on our own. We are all amped for our next trip down."
- Derka
"So i wanted to say thanks again, i came back home and felt more alive than ever! when i started out on that trip, i didnt know what to think really besides i must be crazy! going to idaho to base jump with complete strangers, but it was the best adventure i ever been on in my life! and i have this strange feeling that this journey into base has just started, u guys treated us like family and i was really proud to be in your course and hope u guys know u will see me again soon, u didnt get off that easy..lol i am filling out my order forms for some gear this week and faxing them in monday but in the mean time take care u guys

I am not all that sure if I can explain to you my gratitude. You guys are amazing people and this weekend was absolutely amazing. You guys kept me in the comfort zone throughout the class. You are both very down to earth and I really like that. Skydiving has so many "sky gods" and I am not a very big fan of it. You guys have taught me a lot and I thank you very much for everything. I am sending a picture of me and Zoe. I hope the two of you and Lua are doing great. I hope to see you guys in MOAB some day. If you guys need anything at all don't hesitate to ask!

"Hi Marta, Jimmy and Mick!
First of all, a sincere thank you for bringing me to base jumping! This week-end marks a important milestone in my life and I was truly happy to have you as instructors and companions on this adventure.
I got home safely on monday night, thanks Jimmy for waking up late and making sure I get on that bus. The good news is I did not have to pay for my ride since the driver did not care...!
Back at the tunnel, I have trouble realizing what just happened, the trip went so fast and seemed so unreal that my brain refuses to acknowledge the truth. Though, the smile on my face wont go..! -) And for all that, I will be back!! ...do longer delays, master stowed jumps and try those soooo cool roll-overs!
I can't wait for the dvd to convince myself this wasn't just another dream. But no rush, patience is a great virtue. If you have some time though, I would appreciate if you could send me some meaningful pics of the exits and the group at the bridge.
Again, a true MERCI to you. The course was very professionnal yet very friendly, it answered my questions and gave me confidence in pursuing base on the good side. It made me feel part of this great sport, and this definetly was more then I was expecting.
Keep on communicating your passion!
See you back at the bridge or at some exciting exit point soon!

To Jimmy, Marta and Lua
I would like to thank you all so much for helping to introduce me to BASE. It's such an incredible thing! I haven't felt this alive in a long time. I had such a fun time and it was such a pleasure to meet you all. I can't get over this feeling of not only joy but an exhileration I've been looking for. I can't thank you enough for opening my eyes!
Thank you again. And hope to see you soon.
Amy
I can't wait to see the videos. I had such a blast! It was every bit as informative, entertaining, and utterly mind blowing as i thought it would be. I can't wait to jump with you guys again.
Chad
Thanks again for a great ambience and giving me the confidence and training to do something that I had wanted to do for a long time. Whoa!!!!!!
Ken
That was a superb course. Your attention to detail and safety was notable and you both kept things fun and extremely educational at the same time. I had a wonderful time and couldn't imagine a more positive way to get introduced to the sport!
David
I am at home now in England and thought I would drop you both a line to say how much I enjoyed the course at Perrine Bridge, Twin Falls last weekend.
The 3 jumps we achieved were a lot of fun. It was a pity we were not able to jump on Sunday due to the winds but that's the way things go sometimes.
I was looking for a safe, structured and well organised introduction to base jumping and I certainly got what I wanted.
Your attention to fine detail, knowledge of equipment and emphasis on the safety aspects of the sport was much appreciated.
Once again, many thanks for the course and I look forward to meeting you both again.
Paul
I really enjoyed the course and getting to know you guys a little. My initial reasons for choosing to learn from you were based on my perception that you guys are down to earth, good people with extensive knowledge of, and a positive outlook on, the sport. The course definitely proved that to be true. Thanks for a great introduction to BASE jumping!
Sol
Thank you Marta and Jimmy - you guys tought me so much in the course - it was awesome!!
Aussie Mike
Thanks so much for introducing me to the world of BASE. I had heard a lot of great things about you two and you definitely lived up to the hype. The course was well done (even though the weather didn't want to cooperate) & I appreciated your time & patience...can't wait to catch up with you guys again to see what we missed!
The Chad
This is from a past student, this is why we love to teach.
Hey Jimmy, Marta (and Lua), I just wanted to take a quick second to really say "Thanks" to both of you for introducing me to BASE. I did my first A last night (1100ft climb, full moon, perfect winds) and it was far and away one of the most amazing things I'll ever experience in my life. Thank you again for taking the time to teach us and to guide us, I appreciate it more than you know.
Sean
Thank you so very much! I was so happy to see you guys and Lua at Bridge Day. I wanted to ask if you remember that my goal was to do a gainer at bridge day. Well I didn't do one, I did four and it is because of you guys and your class. You instilled a lot of confidence in my ability to save my own life. I have no doubt that you guys run the best first base jump course.
Eric N
I just wanted to send a quick thank you again for all your help. For just being a weekend course I feel I learned a tremendous amount. I went from having really no idea of what to do, to feeling 100% confident in jumping on my own form the bridge. The packing is overwhelming at first, but how you guys taught it, I seemed to catch on real fast. Its not all that hard if you just break it down step by step, I guess I'll see how I'm doing the more I jump with what kind of headings Im opening at.
Anyhow, you guys are awesome people and you put on an awesome course - Thank You -
If the weathers ok in Dec. I'm going to try and make it down again.
