| It's
summertime - time for travelling. Everything is packed
and the fingers are burning for rock because it's time
to use some friends and nuts at the beautiful bigwalls
of Scandinavia. But we also brought our crashpad because
there are wonderful virgin Boulders far up North.
We will travel over the polar circle all the way up
to Kvaloya and the wonderful Lofoten islands, to small
village Hell, into the Setes- and Nisedal and will stop
whenever we feel like it.
So stay tunde we will keep you up to date... |

The Red Bull X-Alps 2007 featuring Michael Gebert |
| |
Since 2003
Red Bull organises probably the hardest paragliding race
in the world called X-Alps. Since the beginning at least
one member from SoG was part of the foto- and video team.
This year they are shooting a documentary in cooperation
with the Sichtzeit GMBH for the famous TV Station Pro7.
They go along with one of the toughest guys the German
Michael Gebert (26) to film him at the hardest experience
he has ever had in his life. He somehow has to make his
way from the Dachstein to Monaco (more than 850 km) either
with his glider or on his feet. |

| |
| |
| |
| |
| Even tough, Michael had
to give up because of a leg injury at the 5th day, he
decided to accompany his fellow athletes to support them.
For him this race was still a personal victory. He was
happy to congratulate the winner in Monaco. |

Enlightenment |
| |
enlightenment [in'laitnmnt]
Format: 16:9, black and white, DVCam
Audio: Stereo, 48 khz.
approximate length: 12 min.
The topic of an extreme, or maybe even narrow minded
way of life (like many extreme sportsmen live it)
has been criticized and dealt with many times.
Enlightenment is a movie, which does not judge or
favour a climbers life over a "classic job-life"
which has high acceptance in our society. Still this
film should
motivate you to think about your own way of life -
whatever it may be like.
The film tells the story of a young climber, who's
life is entirely focused on his great passion - climbing.
After having done his hardest climb yet he is suddenly
confronted with another
way of life: a normal job.
The movie project is supported by: Cine
Styria

In the
event of global warming also the glaciers
of the Himalayans have been retreating drastically.
A team of motivated scientists of the Dresden
University of Technology took a trip into
the region of Mount Everest and Lhotse, Nepal,
in order to gather information about global
glacier retreat which stands in close relation
to our drinking water supply and has a strong
effect on the future of our planet!

The Dachstein
Southface cave, Austria, may turn aut to be
one of the biggest caves on earth. The goal
of another team of scientists from the Dresden
University of Technology was to find out how
big the whole system is. This was realised
with a brand new 360° rotational laser
scanner. The size of the cave is important
for the scientists to find out how much water
can be stored during snowmelt.

On the
frequently used routes of the North sea there
are many wracks lying on the sea bottom. Because
of the movements of the wracks there exists
high danger for all ships. It is the job of
the boat called WEGA to keep the data of the
maps of the German bight up to date.

| Portable camera
support |
| Filming under extreme conditions means
that you need light and flexible camera equipment. Even
though different companies offer a great variety of camera
support you still sometimes do not find what you are looking
for. S o G got creative and started to construct and customize
its own, very special gear… |
