comparing times is BS. think about mental strength. SI was one of those rare crews that just didn't lose. they refused to. they new they could beat anyone out there. and so they did. the '04 U.S. 8 holds the world record, but no one says theyre the greatest of all time.
My junior boat at PennAC rowed a 5:35 at St. Catherines in 2003. I can safely say that SI would have beaten our PennAC boat, even if their best was a 5:50. Comparing times is ridiculous.
Props to Derek Johnson, a most deserving champion.
the best time this SI had in '06 was 5:51, but there are so many factors that can affect time that i don't think we can decide who is a better crew by comparing times
Yer you were awesome! Good job! Not particularly balanced on 'easy oars' though! Anyway not taking away from your season! Unlucky at Henley 2007 GB schools obviously just had a bad year in 2006!
WELL WELL WELL, the aussies finally get their mouths shut. I would just like every one here to know that the varsity eight from this school in Australia didn't even make it to the semifinals of the Princess Elizabeth ( which this st ignatius won last year) so we can now conclude this argument knowing that they are completely full of crap. Once again USA wins just like wee win everything else.
No ones disputing that this is a great crew- i mean u did clean sweep pretty much evrything- but to say its the best crew period is a bit grand...firstly our crew we sent this yr was a composite of our 1st and 2nd viii, so not our best crew. 2ndly it is a very long way for aussie schools to go so the countries best crews dont always go- and when they do both times theyve won, last yr in fawley. Btw did u guys compete at marlow last yr? and also why did SI send a crew this yr?
u guys are so gay. anyone see the rowing news greatest junior eights of all time?...whos the first crew with two pages dedicated to it?...when ur balls drop, come talk
rowr 45 i think you will find that was only american crews in that article. obvioulsy the 06 SI crew was outstanding but too call them the greatest junior eight of all time is pretty rich. The 1996 shore school crew held the worlds best junior time of 5:42 whilst in 2006 the Kings school won nationals in 5:40.
id be willing to say that SI's 06 crew never got close to those times
thing of like this folks: say you have a race between a lexus and a mustang... now the lexus is gonna ride a lot smoother than the mustang, but the horsepower in the mustang will get the victory
Anyone in top four at hotr 07 would hammer you. The taps are shocking, not even j's, the balance is off at calls, and the hand heights are crap, look at the junior world champs four when they race at Beijing in 90 days, those a four 17 year olds from Sydney in gps who will destroy any other country. Keep your outside shoulder up!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that I'm taking any sides here, but I've been to the GPS Head of the River's for the last couple of years, and we do actually look alot better then this crew. And I totally agree with the top four at HOTR 2007 comment. We'd totally dominate.
Mate, our fuckin 2nd VIII is going to Henley 07... you going to be there? Which one of these cats are you? whats ur ergo like? your actually really shit...
Ok, well from what i see...they sky at the catch then row it in, have no ratio, break their arms at the on the beginning of the drive instead of hanging on it with their lats, don't have fast catches (though better than other hs crews), and open up at the catch. BTW i am no part of hs crew anymore, however, i am pretty sure with crappy blade work like that, Thomas Jefferson would have smoked them.
When? To my knowledge TJ and SI have never raced each other. Jefferson got knocked out in the 3rd round at Henley 06, and has never been to Cinci's. That said, I think SI probably would have won anyway, since TJ seemed to peak a month earlier, but where do you get off making stuff like that up?
wait a second ironsonly69: this team won the US nationals and destroyed the field at an international championship, and you're suggesting that their level of competition in their region is weak? Hahaha idiot
Any way yanks better stay their side of the atlantic as this season its going to be a white wash for a four letter word from Windsor, no point even competing
pwnd19 ur in denial and its a shame too because a crew that has someone who is so insecure about themselves shouldn't have their parents forking out thousands of dollars and practically purchasing ur beloved trophies. that brings me to my next point, all u yanks think about is trophies for winning, which is extremely depressing since the only future yank rowing has is little bitch kids just wanting material possession and not glory.
you f*cking moron, they went to henley in the eight thats in this video, not a quad. and not only that, but the team they beat for the cup in the final round WAS THE KINGS SCHOOL, AND THE BEAT THEM BY 3 BOAT LENGTHS, so get it right you f*ckin idiot before you even think about talking trash, because you have obviously proved you dont know jacksh*t about this SI crew.
u need to understand that u "wildcats" (laughing at stupid yank names) rnt the best crew, in fact im just gunna say it ur shit, i take two strokes in the time that it takes u "rowers" put the blade in at the catch. Im sorry to break it to u but its shit rowing.
HAHA Pwnd19, ur obviously getting a little bit upset... are u even in this crew? Which one is u? or are u scared to say? We might be taking some crews to the regattas before henley and henley, it would be a pleasure to see ur terrible rowing just to make us feel good... Our VIII would smash your tiny little crew
You all have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't rowed for SI, nor am I even from california, but I can tell you whatever high school crew you could have put against the 06 SI crew would have been smoked. No question. Stop talking.
Besides you wouldnt last two seconds on a race course in America ( that is if you havent already choked on our sweet American air) so stop you bitching you have noting to prove. USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!!!!
bahahaha u seedy yank... sweet american air? haha.. full of fat people and pretty sure that everyone in the world hates your country and ur people... haha. By the way, ur standard is nothing on the australian crews, ur have no size, power or technique,come back when u dont sky ur blades haha. which one is u?
And you CANNOT leave out the fact that they also won the PRINCESS ELIZABETH CUP at Henley ( you probaly dont know what this is since you suck and have probaly never been there, but its where crews from usa, europe and africa even australlia go and race eachother) and that proves that we are better than just the america.
WOW HOW PATHETIC, one little riverview faggot that cant take the shit someone proves to him, so he has to get all of his little butt buddies to join in with him, how cool. Saying that one crew sucks and "WANKS IT" and that another is good means absolutely nothing when the crew that qoute WANKS IT has A FUCKIN TROPHY TO PROVE. And saying that being the best in the USA is nothing, IS A CROCK OF SHIT. SO WHY DONT YOU GO "WANK IT"
These crews are terrible... Literally everything u do is wrong.. Your competition must be shit! best of the best in america means nothing, all u do is wank each other off about how good u think u are...
WOW HOW PATHETIC, one little riverview faggot couldnt take the shit some proved to him so he had to get all of his little but buddies to join in, how cool. IT MAKES A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE TO TALK SHIT TO A CREW THAT HAS A FUCKING TROPHY NATIONAL TITLE TO PROVE IT, WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING THAT PROVES YOU ARE GOOD. AND SAYIN THAT BEING THE BEST IN AMERICA MEANS NOTHING, IS JUST A CROCK OF SH*T. SO WHY DONT YOU GO " WANK IT" YOU F*CKIN AUSSIE PANSY
and by the way i go to St Ignatius high school ( and am on the rowing team), and we had foreign exchange students....FROM ST IGNATIUS RIVERVIEW AUSTRALLIA, and they said their team wasnt even that good. Even one of the guys who was on the team said that.And they certainly said that they were not the best of Australlia,... so we all know you are full of sh**.
bahahaha ur a joke buddy... our exchange students go to san francisco and are the rich nerds or people from america. this ignatius crew lacked any competition and are a joke... get some real rowers, none of this soft yank shit.... hahaha ur a joke crew
you are absolutely pathetic fella234, you have nothing to prove.... St ignatius was the best of the best that year, no on beat them period...not even your faggot little riverview Australlia team beat them, so u can go suck it
u think ur amazing, u americans can row for shit, hav a look at St Ignatius College Riverview, Australia. Those guys r far superior. Hot tip for yanks do some drills or something cause u look technically stupid.
jus wanna let u know that just because the boat sits up for u when u drop ur hands as low as they go doesnt mean ur good at striking. u should hop in a scull and give that a go, maybe even watch st ignatius college, riverview, australia. that is true rowing
0.1 sec is the difference between been number 8 and number 7 in the world at rowing 2000m.Today I am number 7.See my profile and videos for details.
