First-rated Instructor and Owner of Tandem BASE, Sean Chuma.

Sean Chuma runs a school, I-D Base where he teaches base jumping.

Sean, the first-rated instructor and owner of Tandem BASE, helped develop the new sport by making the very first TandemBASE Jumps during it’s experimental phase, adding more unique and exciting activities to his full-time parachuting career. He has over 4,000 skydives and 7400 BASE Jumps (the most of anyone in the world), and also runs a world-renown school, called I-D BASE that teaches experienced skydivers how to BASE jump.

Sean has an impeccable safety track record of over 900 tandem base jumps and is, undeniably, the most experienced, commercial tandem base instructor in the world. He’s so safe that in 2013, the 102 yr-old Dorothy Custer asked him to take her for a jump off the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho. She landed soft and safely. Sean believes that if a 102 yr-old lady had the courage to experience the thrill of parachuting from Idaho’s tallest bridge, that anyone can do it.

Sean shared about:

• How he ended up having a career in base jumping.
• What motivated him to run a school that teaches experienced skydivers how to BASE jump.
• How it feels to influence others to have courage experience the thrill of parachuting.
