Rowing is the most underrated competition sport at the moment... I don't know any other sport where I had such an awesome teamfeeling on my way to the limit... it's just incredible how everyone gets motivated again on the last 200m even if the 1800 before were hell
@strokeseat1 Their socks look like shoes! We don't wear our socks out when we walk the boat to the water. We keep them in our pockets so they don't get full of sand or dirt. This is the first time I have seen this. Thank you for pointing it out! Even at that, our cox's don't wear shoes either - Just life in California I guess!
@polsonking yeah I usually have them tucked up my zootie but I suppose they are not going over mud and grass to get to their pontoon, as well as that, it's a commercial, probably had to have it that way for aesthetics.
@Badchoicesmade thnx for the info lol, didn't know that we germans are more or less the only guys who are doing this :D I just learned it from my first lesson and we do it every time, no matter if its a skiff, 2x 4x or 8x.
i fucking hate crew, blisters, early mornings, back problems, i honestly don't know why i am still doing it after 3 years, every rower moans about it but deep down there is a LOVE for it, that is the only thing that keeps us going. It's hard to explain
@jm338 yeah hard. I hate my crew, but I love rowing too much for them to get to me about it. All the mockery I get from them all seems worth it when you win races and get fast erg times! :)
I think it is because of the masohism and the intensivity of the sport. lts an ambivalental love that is really hard to explain but is custom to every proffesional sportsmen. You have a feeling that your progressing and you probably like the constant strugle with yourself and the feeling of triumph when you achieve your goals.
Seeing this just makes me glad my college is club and not team or I'd never be able to row, only cox (I've a coxswains build.) As it is I get to do both and adore it.
@kbelle011 and what ever junior or senior that lost their seat to you hates you with a burning passion. no one wants to loose to a fucking 8th grader dont rub it in.
@EllTarrant every person who joins my club gets individual sponsorships if they are good enough (like 75% do) ask locally thats where all of ares are from.
ivenevr actually seen a different colour empacher, only ever yellow, and ive never actually seen crews which are sponsored except olympic crews and the cambrigde and oxford crews
@EllTarrant Have you really never seen a sponsored crew? In NZ school rowing most schools even private schools are sponsored. My school is sponsored by BMW and some are sponsored by real estate agencies, etc.
I though they only come in diluted piss yellow...I could have sworn it was a vespoli millennium until I saw the riggers =\. I will never forget what a millennium's rigger looks like, that's the last thing I saw before being knocked the fu** out right on the dock lol
Sexy boats! I row with fermoy in Ireland and were stuck with ancient janouseks! And we wer givin 2 wooden fours dat are 30 years old cos nobody else wud take em . . We suck:-(
its called a German push-off, if you row practice it, when you do it at a regatta in a double or a quad (and don't flip) the other crews jizz themselves
thing is, they oars aren't hitting the water when the square it, so technically they have less wind resistance that whole time on their oars. p.s. lets see you do better ;)
wind resistance from oars is basically zero unless you are in a monster headwind. and if you look at how flat the water is, that is clearly not the case.
p.s. funny that you should challenge me to do better ;-)
it totally depends on the club/school which you learn first. Some focus only on sculling, but on the other hand, it's not unheard-of for kids to have rowed for 2 or 3 years and not know how to scull. In my experience, except at sculling-focused organizations, it's actually more common to start with sweep rowing.
also depends on your age. I first started off as a junior rowing, then club policy changed and they decided it was bad for teenagers (especially girls) to sweep row so made us all scull instead. Something about sweep rowing twisting and wrecking your back while you are still developing. they still let us do weights though, a bit illogical seeing as that can screw up developement and joints in teens!
I don't know. I guess its good because it forces people to actually workout. (Thats cool how you can workout by yourself) But it still completely kills.. I really cannot wait till we go out on the water again. Ergs absolutely suck.
Man I dont start winter training for two weeks! So I am basically doing hours of power in the gym almost daily along with lifting, to prep for it. Lucky! (or unlucky, really its a combination of both)
what song is this? thank you :)
