A Different Approach to BASE Training

Most BASE courses focus primarily on getting you your first jump. My training is different. I build real preparation, technical skill, and — most importantly — the ability to think clearly and make smart decisions under pressure.

My approach is built around how you think, how you respond, and how you adapt when things don’t go as expected.

Training is structured to develop awareness, control, and decision-making under pressure — not just execution when everything goes right.

My goal is not to move you through a course. It is to change how you approach every jump that follows.

Rather than rushing through a checklist, training is built around developing control, awareness,

and judgment that extend beyond a single environment.

  • Small, focused training environments (max 3 people in a group)

  • Emphasis on canopy control and reaction speed

  • Honest, experience-based instruction

  • No shortcuts, no unnecessary risk

What Students Are Saying

★★★★★

You won’t find a better first jump course in my opinion. Super stoked to have completed my FJC and object avoidance with John. The course structure and the on going mentorship and advice post course is awesome.

Joe Kindellan, Google Review

★★★★★

I did my FJC with John and couldn't be happier with the training. He has a comprehensive course which prepared me really well for the base environment. If you are looking for a course that balances classroom theory with practical hands on training in a real world environment I would hit John McEvoy up.

Joseph Macintosh, Google Review

★★★★★

I’ve worked with John for my FJC and obstacle avoidance. Would highly recommend BASE guiding for all your needs. Very specific personal training for any style of coaching needed. If your brand new or a seasoned jumper looking to fine tune skills this is the place to be.
