heat and sand of desert - in short,
extreme sport events in extreme conditions
for "the actor" and for technical
equipment and staff....

streams, live coverage and much
more...
Unfortunately,
most of this sites are down and dead by
now, they were meant as short time
project support and then SiOL recycled
the servers...
