Get ready for one of the most spectacular skydiving competitions of the week during Ekstremsportveko.
Right in front of the festival tent, swoopers will come flying in over Vangsvatnet at high speed, carving powerful turns across the water before aiming for the floating landing platform. Expect aggressive approaches, water drags, spray flying through the air and some of the best canopy pilots showing what swooping is all about.
With the crowd gathered along the lake wall and the festival atmosphere at its peak, this becomes a true show – both for the audience and the pilots.
And this time, the crowd is part of the judging.
The crowd decides the winner
Spectators will get the chance to help crown the winner.
Using the Peers voting app, the audience can vote for their favourite swoop of the show. Style, creativity, precision or pure aggression – you decide what deserves the win.
