No Man's Land is a 4 day downhill skateboarding event in the middle of the Alps by the emerald Soca river. The project aims to bring to the community a wholesome and a memorable downhill experience. It strives to raise awareness on negative impacts of wars and of national borders. The venue is an important historical site. The road lays on a ridge of Kolovrat mountain which is riddled with WW1 trenches, hence the name of the event.
We're non-profit sport's association Soldat from Slovenia that are well established in organizing downhill skating events in this part of the world. Downhill skateboarding or longboarding, is considered a dangerous sport that is usually practiced on open roads. That's why these kinds of events are invaluable to any skater, as we do the road closure and secure it with hay bales in order to secure it for the riders.
WORKING ARRANGEMENT
For the needs of the event we are looking for 12 volunteers or course marshals, 2 cooks, 2 waitresses, and one DJ, for a period of up to 8 days, starting from 31st July till 7th August, including.
The cooks should know how to prepare meals for around 20 people. We also need 2 waitresses (experience is desirable) and a DJ with variety of music genres.
Course marshals tasks description:
Each morning after breakfast the volunteers or course marshals will be bussed to their respective positions along the 3 km road. They will be equipped with radio communication devices, water, chairs and umbrellas. The freeride starts at 11 and lasts until 18:00 with around 10 short breaks of half hour in between the runs. The lunch packs are delivered to the volunteers. At the end of the day the volunteers will be bussed back to the village where they will be provided with a dinner.
Volunteers are expected to help us securing the track with hay bales. This takes a physically demanding job that can last 2 days. After the event the hay bales should be stored nearby (1 day job).
We're flexible in terms of days and type of work. It depends on your availability, your skills, and your fitness.
LIVING ARRANGEMENT
We will be lodged at a campsite in a village of Livek, near Kobarid. The camp contains all the usual camping facilities. Please note that camping gear is not provided. The cost of camping and tourist tax is covered by the organisers.
