Ben Verde is firmly a member of the new generation of WS BASE jumpers who have embraced a more calculated approach, using laser-inclinometers and GPS tracklog history analysis to make better informed decisions in the mountains. With more than 800 BASE jumps since 2011, his experience ranges from urban to alpine and everything in-between. Ben’s BASE courses are thorough and relaxed, focusing on the technical aspects of BASE jumping and embracing a spirit of good judgment and humble self-awareness
