How to progress

Progress with LMSD at your own pace

There’s no single path in BASE. Your goal might be a first slider-down jump, big walls in the Alps, urban exits or wingsuit BASE. We’ll help you get there safely, with a club and a network behind you.

Progression routes

Everyone’s route looks a little different, but the building blocks are the same. A typical route with us looks like this.

  1. 1

    Start: the First Jump Course

    Your first slider-down jumps from a forgiving 500 ft bridge in the south of France. You’ll cover ground school, gear, packing and the fundamentals, and leave jumping safely and independently.

    Get current: progression trips & UK jumping

    Numbers, confidence and judgement come from mileage. We run club progression trips and jump regularly in the UK, so you can consolidate what you learned on the FJC and keep building with people around you.

  3. 3

    Club support along the way

    As a member you get mentoring from experienced jumpers, group jumps, our members-only exit database and people to jump with.

    Go bigger: the Big Wall Course

    When you’re ready, step up to tracking and slider-up freefall from the big walls of Brento (Italy) and Lauterbrunnen (Switzerland).

    What comes next

    Big walls, wingsuit BASE, urban exits or more technical objects: whatever you’re after, we keep supporting you and bring in coaches and experienced jumpers from our wider network to help you get there safely.

Partners & network

We work with gear manufacturers and a network of experienced coaches and jumpers to support you at every stage.

Gear & dealers

We’re dealers for Atair and Exile BASE, so we can get you set up with the right, well-fitted gear as you progress, and tell you honestly what suits your jumping.

Coaching & network

For coaching beyond our own courses, we’re affiliated with SliceOfAdvice, and we can connect you with experienced jumpers across our network for continued mentorship and progression.
