About

The Big Splash is a mad extreme sports event for people with a screw loose! The main event consists of a large 14 foot ramp on the side of the River Spey from which you can launch off in a variety of contraptions from wheelie bins and shopping trolleys to bikes, skis and snowboards.

This is the fifth year of The Big Splash which started in 2005 and returns every couple of years due to popular demand.  It is Aviemore’s true community event bringing together all the outdoor disciplines in and around Aviemore such as mtn. biking, skiing, snowboarding, skate boarding, kayaking and climbing.

This year, we have an awesome line-up of bands travelling to entertain you from all corners of Scotland, the very best locally produced food and drink and a host of exciting surprises that will be revealed as we get closer to the madness so watch this space! So, if you are not bonkers enough to take part then don’t worry – there will be plenty going on to keep you entertained throughout the weekend.
