I used to go to this event every year, especially when James ran it. It is a great event, but the fee is way overpriced unless you take advantage of all the great coaching and organizing talent all week long. The "free" jumps justification used isn't quite the truth since those jumps are paid for by the sponsors. Although boogies are never cheap to put together (most jumpers don't realize the logistics), it is still amazing to me how the Falling Gators can host a boogie, with pre-reg for $30, and they provide all the food, some beer, organizers, an extra plane, and good times for so little.
Not knocking the boogie itself because it is a great time, just can't afford 3 jumps just to get in.
