In February 2006 Carlos Pinto developed the endorphinum.de platform, offering a free service where sport enthusiasts or people that only do sports from time to time can save their archivements online.
Instead of offering the standard community-targeting tools like a messageboard, guestbook or chat, he aimed for something that boosts the online sports community into the 21st century: BETA-SWAY was born. This was the first monthly scheduled online sports magazine offering new forms of content a generation X urban athlete seeks inside a magazine of these days. The name was a derivate from BETA-ENDORPHINES and the sway sports can have to each one of us. The first 8 (!) issues appeared at the first of each upcoming month and while the first 3 issues were designed and filled by Carlos himself, after the 4ths issues Boris Hoffmann, Oda G. and Philipp B. lend a hand on the project.

Afer a long break, the ezine returns in September 2009. But this time not anymore with the so called Flash flippage effect but as a simple PDF ezine offering a better distributional way.

Please be aware that all 2007 issues were full of interactivity due to the possibilities that the Adobe Flash plugin comes with. As we have changed these issues into PDF files, you will find a lot of pages in there looking strange to you and having no real function. Now you know why as the interaction is missing.

We are continously gathering all the old info together to update the photographers in the "flickristas" section.
The issues from October, November and December 2007 are still missing in here, but will get back in here as soon as possible.
Just in case that you would like to know how the old ezine looked like, this is the path to the digital wonderland....
