After 4 years my mindset finally changed. I worked for all those years thinking of get to University via Crew. Kept with it got top 12 at US Youth Nationals. We don't know where life will take us, keep trying and pushing limits but keep an open mind, don't tunnel all of your energy into just Crew, what will that accomplish in the long run? A degree, mental sanity and an expanded mind is much more useful to me. For those who can balance it I commend you. BTW it's more useful for women.
The song was written and performed by a member of the Rhode Island team during his novice year; he's made better songs since. Most of the footage is from around 2004. Yes, some of you are correct, the rowing isn't all that pretty. Even I look back at these videos and cringe at some of the technique, but for a non-EARC program, they could move a boat respectably.
@ROLDY10FUN You push equally on both legs, so no imbalance there. Only imbalance would be on the arms, as the outer arm does more work than the inner, but it would hardly be noticeable as only 20% of the stroke power comes from the arms. It's easy to correct if it did happen, your coach would switch you to the other side so you would be pulling harder on the other arm. But the difference really would be negligible.
its a motivational song listen to the words!! so its not a chart topper but try to put your self in the situaion of that team the blood sweat and tears they have put into their sport can you imagine how much they ache after a race or even training but they get right back on the horse or in this case boat lol and go for it again this song was written for them to give them motivation to remind them why they do this sport you should try it but maybe your arm would fall off lol
@ROLDY10FUN skulling cant (you got a skull in every hand) because you got the same work on the left and right side. Rowing (one oar) can, especially if done wrong so you often first learn to skull and at the age of 16 you usually start rowing because the one sided work is worse if you are still growing. Rowing itself uses like 80% of all your muscles and because the legs are needed aswell as the upper body in this regard it doesnt produce imbalance but an overall stronger body.
@laz0rer They certainly didn't used to. This video is from what I'm guessing was 2004 and they were the tits back then believe me my coach was on that crew. He's the really big one.
This sport is more about trying to prove who is the toughest in my opinion then a sport you do because you think, "Hey lets just do this so I can say I do a sport." It is a sport you do to do for the rest of your life the second you start in my opinion.
haha true that. but i guess this song was written/performed with rowing and rowing related things (such as lactic acid) in mind the whole time. as you can kinda tell since its not the MOST professional song ever. love the video though
The unity is most sensual in its intensity, and one forgives one's crewmates everything, all their annoying little quirks and habits, for those moments of bliss. There is in short nothing quite like it and those who have not been throught it have missed a life-enhancing experience. ,,, " The ERG is mental masturbation,,, On the water is to LIVE/DIE for,,,
This crew has the same oars as my highschool crew. Except that this crew is better. Haha. Eh, the song isn't THAT bad. Could be better though. Good video though. Like it.
fruit,,,,he looks more like a STARboard, filling in on Port. jassaoNO,,NO-rushing, it is the Camera angle. the bow mans PUDDLE is at least 1/2 down the rear deck!!!
Man this song is terrible....you deserve about a thousand dislikes just for the song. On the rowing side, it seems I can relate, rowed in nationals and stotes, 3rd place in both events...double sculled. I beasted it up a little bit
That isn't a real song is it? Because that is the most ridiculous and stupid sounding singer I have ever heard. This song has to be from SNL or MadTV...
This song is really talking!!! Rowing never come easy... But it is good feeling!! Rowing
I love this! Talk bout serendipity...
Thanks!
I hear "..set the pace faster..." - and I love the song :-)
You just took the dignity way for such a honorable sport next time I go Erging I am going to imagen I am influcting the Pain I feel onto you !
i actually really enjoyed this song, as a rower it's entertaining yet inspiring :)
Haha, I love it. The song is great.
it was about time someone made a song about rowing... i just wish it had been a better one ^^
I just wanted to say thanks for the shirt URI!!

@michiganmoocow a good sweep and a good sculler are synonymous ... it is a good oarsman..
and it seems as though he's rushing the last bit of the slide, the 0:24 guy
but its cool how hes actually rapping about rowing-sweet as video

Thank God for the mute button.
who ever came up with this song better not consider making a career out of song lyrics. this is how rowers get a bad name....
Nice oars hitting the water at 1:20...The 14 year old novice four that I coach looks better than that
good rowing footage, but im sorry, the song sucks!
