Adventure Boogie 2021

Bovec, Slovenia

It’s all happening! Registration is open.
Read about our covid-19 guidelines further down.

Imagine spending a week in magical mountains, where each morning you can choose to spend your day skydiving, or try out one of many other exciting mountain sports under professional guidance…

This is an event where you can do exactly that. You get to enjoy the spectacular Slovenian landscape from the sky, from the water or underground. You can challenge yourself physically and mentally in many different ways. Or you can just come play with our top skydive coaches. Your choice. And the best thing: you’ll have a magical week in any type of weather.

We have two planes (PC-6) available this year and registrations are  limited.

Can I join?
The event is open to anyone. This year, skydivers will still make up the largest part of the event (freeflyers, wingsuiters, canopy pilots or other) but mountain bikers, kayakers, canyoneers, cavers, paragliders, speedflyers and nature lovers are also very welcome.
If you want to come skydiving, you need to have a skydiving license and be signed off to jump with other people. For most of the other sports, no minimum level is required. To join a mini skills camp (see below), you need to be able to safely join a group of four skydivers. For mountain swooping you need minimum 500 jumps.

How does it work?
The idea of this event is that you come to practice your own sport or passion, with the opportunity to try out or learn others. Whether you’re skydiver that wants to try canyoning, or a mountain biker that wants to learn kayaking, this is your event.
When you sign up, you pay a basic registration fee (“skydiver” or “non-skydiver”) which includes a certain amount of Adventure Tickets. During the event you can buy as many extra Adventure Tickets as you like for 31€ each. These tickets function as event currency and can be used for skydives (1 ticket to 4000m, only in combination with a SKYDIVER package) and other activities like kayaking, canyoning or a yoga class on a mountain top. For example, on Tuesday morning you go venture deep into the canyons of the Soca valley, descending with ropes and jumping off waterfalls, and then you come back to the DZ around midday for a couple of jumps over a beautiful mountain scenery. For most sports and activities you can sign up on site. Sometimes we have a special course or adventure for which you need to sign up beforehand. We’ll inform you about that via email.

The complete outdoor program will be announced later, but we can promise you this:
– all mountain sports are guided by professional instructors or guides
– most activities are for a half day, morning or afternoon
– the price for an activity is usually around 1 or 2 adventure tickets, depending on duration
– there will be lists at the DZ where you can sign up for activities every day
– you decide your own skydive/outdoor adventure mix – only skydiving or only mountain sports is also possible
– with most of these mountain sports, you experience the world slightly differently when you return

Skydiving and coaching
For dedicated coaching and high quality jumps we offer a mini freefly skills camp, which you pay for on top of your basic registration fee. You sign up for 12 jumps over 2 or 3 days in a small group of 4 or 5 participants. We will try to find the perfect group for you, and if you come with a few friends you may book a private coach. Besides that, we also offer 1-on-1 coaching. Both can be reserved through the registration form.
There will also be an LO around to scramble lost people and organise a jump here and there. However, they will not have time to jump with everyone so you should not expect a coach to organise your jumps unless you book a mini skills camp.

Suitable for relative newbies and absolute ninja’s. Minimum requirement in head up: being able to safely join a 4-way head up jump. That means you need to stay in head up for a full jump, be able to increase and decrease fall rate and move forward and backward.
Minimum requirement in track/angle: being able to safely join a 4-way track or angle jump. That means you need to hold your position for a full jump and be able to increase and decrease forward speed and adjust your angle to match the group.

Mini wingsuit skills camp – 625 euro
If there is enough interest and matching skill level, we can form a few wingsuit groups.

1-on-1 coaching
15 Adventure Tickets for 5 jumps all inclusive.

Mountain Swooping
Everyone with 500+ jumps may join mountain swooping. You’ll have to sign up at the DZ and attend the mountain swoop safety briefing for that particular run. We always fly in small groups with a guide. The price for mountain swooping is 2 Adventure Tickets per jump (includes guide, ground crew and return transport).

Innhops
In cooperation with Even Rokne and Petter Stensvold we organise magical “innhopps” around Bovec. An innhopp is a jump into an unknown landing area. There will be an array of easy and more challenging innhopps during the week. These are jumps you won’t easily forget. During the week we organise three Adventure Nights, where you can jump into instead of taking the bus. These evenings include a meal, a video, a party and a bus ride back.

The location
Slovenia is a spectacular country, in some ways comparable to the landscape of Norway, Switzerland or New Zealand. The Soca valley is one of the most beautiful areas in the country, and on top of that, it has a dropzone right in the center of it!
The airfield is situated next to the mountain village Bovec, in a green valley bordering the Triglav National Park. It’s surrounded by mountain peaks and right through the middle of it all runs the clear turquoise colored Soca river, famed for its world class kayaking and rafting possibilities. The village is a lively outdoor sports town with plenty of little restaurants, where a drink is still affordable.

Accommodation
Accommodation is not included. There are several affordable sleeping options. The cheapest one is the nearby campsite (Kamp Polovnik – 8€/night), at five minutes walking from the DZ. Through booking.com or Airbnb you will find affordable apartments and hostels all over town.

Getting there
You can fly into Ljubljana (1h45 from Bovec) or Venice (2h30 from Bovec) and rent a car or take a bus. You can also take a train to Most na Soci and a bus to Bovec from there or ask someone to pick you up. You can find information on bus schedules here.

To reserve your slot you need to pay a non refundable registration fee and agree to our GENERAL BOOKING CONDITIONS which you can find here.
