WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY

Hareth Abdulla
I had looked into the different options of doing a FJC and wanted to approach BASE jumping with someone who was very experienced and renowned in the BASE world. Johhny fitted the description and with some of my friends we all attended the course in 09.....
David Farmer
Johnny's BASE course was an experience I will always remember. His approach was methodical, fun, and focused on important basics. What was the most important part of it though? He CARES about his students. If bad weather rolled in, he had no problem saying no to jumping, and educating us on why it wouldn't be worth it. Take Johnny's course. You'll love it.
Michael Koser
Definitely the safest way to enter the most dangerous sport. It's not a course it's an experience and I'd say it's the best I've had so far. He'll teach you what you need to know, then he'll climb out on the bridge and rage out right along side of you. Maybe my favorite aspect of canopy sports is the ease of access we have to the professionals and even more so their willingness to share their knowledge ...
Matt Robinson
I attended Johnny's course way back in the summer of 2004, and remember it like yesterday, thanks to Johnny's friendly and professional manner I knew from the start I was in good hands, the course lasted an entire week and was left feeling confident and inspired when I got back home, the fun has continued over a decade later and cannot recommend doing this course enough.
Nick Barson
When I decided that I wanted to get into BASE jumping I approached it cautiously. I knew the risks were much higher than with skydiving and as such wanted to do a proper fjc with someone I knew.....
Ben Lowe
I did my FJC with Johnny back in 2005. I still remember everything 11 years later. He has a wealth of knowledge and has the experience to show it. I highly recommend his course.
Jamie Serchia
Johnny took me out back in 2004, "Have fun, don't die," was his motto. 13 years later I still am, and haven't yet e Any chucklehead can teach you to pack, and point to the edge, but some ......
Jason Kennon
Awesome first jump course and loads of fun and information. I highly recommend anyone wanting to learn BASE to learn here.
Josh Cook
johnny utah's BASE camp changed my life FOREVER!!!
Sheldon Sedlar
I took Johnny's course and it was nothing short of the epic highlight of my life. If you are serious about BASE, I'd definitely recommend learning from Johnny Utah. His course is very complete and I love his teaching style. We did about 15 jumps during the 3-day course. I learned to pack without clamps which really cuts down the amount of gear I have to lug around. Johnny is very experienced, and now he's also a great friend.
Vincent Broccolo
So much knowledge literally decades of experience/skills that he passes on to you and the BASE community. If you wanna live, Johnny is the guy! he is detailed and ultra safety conscious !!
Abbie Mashaal
I've lived in Twin Falls for 18 years, been BASE Jumping for 20 years. The Johnny Utah® BASE CAMP™ is the longest running BASE FJC I know of. All of Johnny's students that I've met are heads up and I have watched Johnny put a lot of real care into the jumpers he produces. Not only that but Johnny has been to, or organized, almost all of the the BASE invitational events. He's a wealth of knowledge and I hope you enjoy taking his BASE CAMP.
Jake Hemmerle
Did my FJC with Johnny in 2021, banging fun course. Recommend it and his bridge day course. > Did 12 jumps, bunch of handhelds, sick safety and carnage footy, learned a ton.
Mike Kiloski
I went through Johnny Utah's BASE camp at Bridge Day in WV. Bottom line - excellent course and highly recommended. Johnny Utah is an awesome instructor with so much experience and love for the sport that kept the whole class motivated and inspired....
