What people say about learning and jumping with us, in their own words.

• Joined LMSD two years ago and the team have been a constant support throughout. My introduction was on the FJC course and it was clear, considered, concise and intensive. The tutoring and instruction did not end with the course. The team became my sounding board and long term mentors. Since taking the initial course I have progressed to the big wall course and actively take part in the activities they advertise. I cannot recommend LMSD enough. Not only for their support and constant safety briefings, but also the lifelong friendships I’ve made along the way.

• LMSD and their FJC were my choice. Only once I had met the team was I able to understood how much of the perceived risk of BASE is mitigated: through good drills, awareness, and attention to detail. The LMSD FJC is a comprehensive week-long course designed for those with a range of canopy experience to develop into independent BASE jumpers, with mentorship thereafter. An intensive experience from start to finish - I enjoyed it all. Tailored guidance and feedback are provided throughout the course. The team is three-strong with an obvious passion for BASE and are wholly supportive of their students. Each member has extensive knowledge and experience of the discipline and are willing to impart that at a moment’s notice. Their preparation extended beyond; advice, packing practice sessions, and study materials - all offered before and after the course. LMSD set clear expectations to the students in order to start the course. This was helpful to me - I knew what I had to do to pass the course. The course content addressed all aspects of an introduction to BASE, all from the foundation of safety. Advanced elements were referred, and the required training was explained. Having completed the course, I feel competent, confident, and proficient to jump without instruction. This is what the team wanted to achieve. I write this while still attempting to reconcile what is - to me - a life changing experience, with everyday life. I cannot express my level of satisfaction with the team and the course; any superlative will be an understatement. Highest recommendation. Thanks, LMSD.

• I’ve recently just come back from my FJC with the LMSD team. Arguably the best experience of my life so far and I genuinely could not recommend them enough to anyone who is thinking about getting into BASE. These guys have clearly put a lot of time and effort into developing a course which is fully comprehensive from start to finish. Before even getting onto the course I was given the opportunity to meet the team and also do intro jumps to check this was the right choice for me (it was). They also organised packing courses prior to going out to make sure we were fully prepared to get the most out of our week supplying all the main kit you’ll need. The course itself is a mixture of practical and classroom based learning with a huge emphasis on safety, good drills, understanding your kit and how to do this sport while mitigating the risks as much as possible with a learning style which is tailored to each individual as naturally everyone learns at different speeds. It’s a hard thing to do making an environment where it feels safe and professional while still being fun at the same time when doing something like this as naturally it’s a dangerous sport and very intense but the instructors managed to maintain this ethos the whole way through the course. But it didn’t just end at the course, after getting back LMSD have made sure that theres still after-support putting us in touch with other jumpers who are local to us in the community that they know and trust, helping with any questions and advice needed from planning our jumps to getting the correct gear. I could go on but you get the idea, I’ll always be extremely grateful for everything these guys have done and could not recommend them enough. Thank you 🪂🤙
