Intro to Terminal
Terminal BASE is not about falling longer.
It’s about thinking further ahead.
Higher delay introduces new variables — speed, separation, body mechanics, tracking precision, deployment timing. Small inefficiencies compound quickly.
This course is designed to introduce experienced BASE jumpers to terminal environments deliberately — not impulsively.
We use Monte Brento as a structured environment to build control, not chase numbers.
What This Course Develops
Over five days, we focus on:
Delay awareness
Tracking efficiency and increasing separation
Start angles and airspeed control
Deployment timing in terminal environments
Situational awareness during deployments
Conservative decision-making in higher-consequence settings
Day one establishes baseline standards — the following days adjust according to performance and judgment.
Terminal is earned, not rushed.

I recommend Camping Daino (close to landing area, multiple budget options, early morning friendly).

All jumps take place from the main exit at Monte Brento, Italy.
The site operates on a structured load system similar to a dropzone. I handle all manifesting.
Each load costs €20 (cash, paid to the driver).
Typical day:
• Early morning loads (as early as 5:30am)
• Two morning jumps
• Optional afternoon load depending on weatherEach load requires:
• 1-hour drive up
• 30-minute hike
• 10–15 minutes to gear up
• 10–15 minutes to exitExpect roughly two hours per load.
Terminal environments demand precision and discipline.
