BAGJUMP are coming to Norway and setting up camp here in Morgedal. 2 jump coaches and 2 technical staff working on the bag plus a team of volunteers here in Morgedal are going to give you amazing opportunity to jump, practice new moves, set up photo shoots etc with a safe and soft bag which is getting rave reviews from people from all over the world. Beside the main attraction - we will set up other small hits and features so that there will be plenty of jump action while waiting to use the bag. Skare Farm is the location for the event - a historic farm, home of ski jumping legend Svein Sollid... there are no lifts here but a wide open field full of jumps and features and a renovated barn with several awesome cinema viewing rooms where you can review your film and photo material after your session. There will also be great food available all BAGJUMP days, music and lights set up for night sessions. On Saturday night Autokarmawill be making a guest appearance in Morgedal for our BAGJUMP party at the village hall. The relaxed atmosphere of the farm and the world renown ski history of Morgedal make for a unique location for this event.

IMPORTANT - all those who jump need to sign a liability form and if you are under 18 this needs to be signed by a parent or guardian before you can jump. Download this form here - so you can bring it signed to the event.

How can I be part of it?

Number one get yourself to Morgedal! The Morgedal Hotell is offering excellent super cheap deals during the whole winter holiday week to all bag-jumpers so book yourself in there. We will be offering a number of open sessions including high drop sessions from a lift. There is also the opportunity to book a private session for your group, club or just as a bunch of mates wanting to have the bag all to yourselves. These sessions are typically 2 hours in length and can include coaching, photo / video shoot, food and viewing afterwards - let us know what you need by contacting us here. Check the programme tab on the right hand menu to see what is happening when. As well as these sessions - on Monday the 22 February we will be running a jump camp... for a limited number of keen jumpers. This is an amazing opportunity and any keen jumpers should sign up for this quickly! For those who want to learn and practice - here is your best chance of getting heaps of good time on the bag.

Morgedal BAGJUMP is for everyone!

Sure we will have some "pro / demo" sessions which will be awesome to watch - but we there will also be sessions for everyone - from younger kids to "has-beens and wanna-bes" - old guys who are keen to pull some old school moves and prove they can still go big!

BAGJUMP VIDEO:

Now it is Norway's turn to host BAGJUMP and what better place to debut here than Morgedal - birthplace of ski sport and home to world champion skiers and jumpers.
Ski jumping was revolutionised when Sondre Norheim started demonstrating massive jumps on much steeper landings than previously used- and his telemark heel attachment meant he could jump huge distances and stick the landings. This was the new school of ski jumping and it started here. Now we are bringing the new "new school" back to Morgedal.

Important info: BAGJUMP require that all jumpers sign a liability form down-loadable here before they jump so that means that all jumpers under 18 years of age will need their parents signature on this form and then bring it with them.
