Australian Rowing Pair Training May07

[jeshiblah]

you guys make this look so effortless and like it's the easiest thing ever! hehe i've just started rowing a few weeks ago and have mostly been learning in a coxless pair, finding it hard to find balance in the boat, there's so much movement in it!

[slutbucketism]

240p for a change.

[burnt2toast]

I row in Pittsburgh and the weather and river this spring season has made practice on the water impossible. In my four we may have totaled about 5 hours of water time this year. Needless to say I'm losing my rowing morale. But every time I watch this video I get it right back, truly inspirational rowing. I'm a big fan.

[redtubeisutubelol]

The person who disliked this video lost to this pair at the olympics :) Btw nice rowing!

[ugukennedy1]

its just fukn wicked boat im a kiwi and i admire that mens pair aswell as their olympic double and most aussie quads they know how to ge that crucial boat and make it look soo clean!

[SW360]

Hate Bungys

[slotsload]

Im interested. What is a bungee and how do I put one on a boat?

[homerman001]

is this anywhere near bond university? it looks very familiar where we row (somerset college)

[NIRower]

awesome, rowing, awesome location, awesome music, awesome video :)

[objob12]

this is where i train, i saw Duncan Free this morning.

[danieee10]

tehehe

my school trains on that canal :)

we're always trying to not get in Duncan's way.

[blueduderanch]

they dont have any body swing.  at all.

[AxelPRC]

@blueduderanch they do have body swing its quite obvious that they do. They actuall have more body swing than most international crews. Body swing in some cases is overrated

[nightime247]

To the person who said bungees didnt do anything for him - You obviously wernt pushing hard enough :)

[danmaestro06]

Whoever said Bungees don't work is a plonk. Had the biggest bungee ever on my pair the other week! I mean seriously fucking huge, and we had to do 10k of paddling including 2 2km pieces at rates 24 and 26. Fuck me I felt so knackered, but when we took the bungee off, honest to god I've never felt a boat move so nice in my life it was incredible!

[Larenose]

honestly bungees dont do too much for me. I dont think they are effective

[AxelPRC]

international crews wouldnt use them if they didnt work

[ondjcywnbd]

Has anyone else noticed that they have bungies wrapped around the boat?

[seandougfan]

its called resistance training, i believe, they may have tennis balls attached to those bungees to make the load heavier so they can feel the boat better, and feel the load at the catch and all that good stuff...

[sladkar]

The second song is Gelbison - The modern station.

[smul1980]

I can't find this song on te web, and the CD is not for sale any more in de Netherlands. Does somebody know where to buy/download this song.

greets

[ethicomm]

When I used to row it was always singles or doubles. I'm not sure I would have faired well rowing pairs and probably couldn't adjust that well from sculling to rowing.

[ptahiii]

what a technique?

soo nice!

[yannaunl]

what is this music please?

the video is very nice...!

[cazc47]

That is the type of rowing it takes to win Gold! Well done guys.

[ollys1018]

[ssouvall]

Can someone tell me what the name of the band playing in the video is?

[mitchtickler]

[smul1980]

Cheers

[djraimundo6]

[pieterkars]

Periscopes

The Beautiful Girls

[Rowingheart]

Dear Mr Ginn,

It's always a magical moment to see u race and compete against the rest of the world with ur partner...but unfortunately the german media doesn't transmit rowing by tv:( so please go on postig videos:)

A very big fan

[sirhendrik]

I honestly never saw such a formidable, almost magically rowed pair like yours Mr. Ginn (with Tomkins)in St Catherines 1999. But when I see you train (ok. different partner, but still) I must say: You only cook with water! just like everybody else! Please take this comment as a compliment, your magic unfolds during the race, and that's good.

Sorry to Mr. Free, but he can't complain, he is World Champion '06 and '07 :).

Keep posting videos, t'was nice typing to ya,

a german rower (retired).

[garvas1212]

[taniwha33]

[forceflow1231]

Powodzenia w Monachium.

[Gazza6469]

Good luck u 2

[worcestor]

well well. haha drew ginn and the duncan free. see you at henley.

[paulluslourenco]

Looks so easy, the way you apply the legs and swing to the final is so fast. The boat is always asking for more and more. Great job.

[ericgc01]

Thanks!!

[rilel662]

also love those new sykes pairs great boat to row

[rilel662]

you dont need to buy much just cut sme rope and a bit of garden hose and bam youve got a bungy. you can also do it with a bucket with large holes in it but that often puts alot of stain on the boats

[wdgfdhdfgdg45dg654g5]

cheers, we just do power strokes with the boat as it is, probably cos my club is tight and wudnt buy anything!

[wdgfdhdfgdg45dg654g5]

wat is that that is dragging along in the water?

[Sircian]

thats a bungee or a tie, its wrapped around the bottom of the shell at both postitions for an exercise called power strokes. Well thats we what we do anyway.

[keepitquietau]

very smooth......when are you headed to europe?

[dcginn]

We head over from 1 July to compete at Henley, Luzern then Worlds.

[keepitquietau]

good luck & great racing...I have really enjoyed your vids Drew

[djraimundo6]

[dcginn]
