The Boogie That Never Happens

— Days postponed and counting
Register anyway Why is this a thing

The legend

Seven years. Zero loads.

The Manchild Boogie was conceived in a packing tent in 2019 by three jumpers who agreed on everything except the date, the dropzone, the aircraft, and whose cooler to use. It has been rescheduled every season since — a perfect, unbroken record. Registration remains open, because hope, like a snivel, takes forever to end.

It is, by every measurable standard, the safest boogie in skydiving history.

FAQ

Frequently avoided questions

Is the Manchild Boogie real?

Historically, no. Spiritually, more real than most boogies you've attended.

When is it happening?

Dates are TBD, as they have been since June 21, 2019. Register below and you'll be the very first to know when it doesn't happen again.

What should I bring?

Nothing. Stay home. Hug your rigger.

Can I get a refund?

Registration is free — like our promises.

Who's behind this?

The crew at jumpslut.com. The boogie is fake; the merch, the dropzone directory, and the live winds-aloft tools are very real.

Can you build a site like this for my (real) boogie?

Yes — that's the punchline. This whole page is a working demo of the boogie and event sites we build at skydive.studio: schedule, registration, sponsors, live weather, the works.

Be first to know
when it doesn't happen

Free forever. One email per postponement. Occasional merch drops from Jump Slut, because the bonfire runs on something.

No plane will be harmed in the making of this boogie.

No purchase necessary. One entry per person. Skill-testing question at draw time: what altitude do you pull at? (any answer accepted).

This boogie is fake. This website is real.

Schedule boards, registration, sponsor decks, live winds — everything here is a working demo of the boogie & event sites we build for real dropzones and organizers at skydive.studio.
