I think you were effective because you took a sport that isn't insanely popular in Canada, and you made it relate-able, not by telling us what they do, but by telling us why they do it. I think anyone can relate to wanting something so bad that they need to make sacrifices (be it time, money, energy etc). It can inspire anyone who wants something bad enough to go through the rough parts. I play for the Canadian Field Hockey team and we're trying to make a video like this - you inspired us!
This is outstanding. Have to admit that I don't care about rowing, but I appreciate the hell out of the amount of work you guys put yourselves through to represent our Country well. Keep up the great work boys.
A comment like this means so much coming from someone that's not interested in rowing--if i can create a piece that appeals beyond only rowing enthusiasts, I know I've done my job! Cheers
Mr. Sylvester, I would like to inform you of your amazing talent. You produce the best rowing videos on the internet. I wish that someday I could produce videos of the same caliber. Keep up the amazing work!
I remember when I started rowing. Its pain and sometimes no motivation but we all create our motivation. The guy behind me or next to me in ny motivation. I would not give it up for anything even if i broke my back for my guys.
what is the name of the music!!! and the video is just pure inspiration!!! anyonde who wants to win in sport or in life!! this video is such a big boost!! :D
@IsleyNumber1 I know what you mean. I can't tell if they're in lbs, kgs or a mix of the two. That said though, when I rowed crew, we'd be doing stuff like 5x20 every morning for a week during 100% weeks and ergs in the evening, so you can't do 5x20x100kg+ every day. Olympic athletes train up to 3x a day all year and some of the guys will have been lightweight rowers (they look like it at least), so you wouldn't expect someone who is less than 70kg doing that every day.
they have made shoes that pop in and out like the ones high performance cyclists use, but they arent comfortable to walk around in as far as I could tell

this year canada made a record in the mens heavyweight 8+... hopefully they can break it again in the London olympics.
Great short. What song starts at 1:19?
I've watched this video so many fkn times. Its just really inspiring
Mike Spracklen is the embodiment of unapologetic grit. I am sad to see him go.
The shoes are addias power lift trainers.
@SenorPestie Last time i checked, 7th to Bronze was a positive progression.
That awkward moment when a rower picks up a weight and it's really light...
they would need another strong tailwind, but its possible
really awesome shot at 3:36!
That double at 3:47.. Damn.
AWESOME!!!!
I want those shoes at 2:13
that one guy..... 13 years :O
Does anyone know which Adidas shoes the guy is wearing at 2:11
why are they doing so much upper body crews about leg strength
Anyone know what shoes the athletes are wearing at 2:12?
are these weights in pounds or kg
what is the name of there trainer?
@csylvester123 I think that's spam Cam!
they really aren't though... which country has won the men's 4- since 2000?
0:13 i think i died and went to rowing heaven
