Great race, set was fantastic, power was on and in that old Empacher we charged up the Charles!

Fun to be back racing 8's!!!

After 7 years, it's crazy that this doesn't have more views. The sound of that finish is crazy! It's so satisfying watching PoV in such a balanced and powerful boat. Also gotta get this crew an Empacher for next time. It looks like they were rowing in the Millennium Falcon.

me tried ... no working

This video is funny, but why so many dislikes?

I already tryed that it Didn't work

7 8s battling side by side in practice. . . so fun.

What was your time Phil?

Good rower

singling... one of the hardest boats to do pieces in mentally, its way too easy to just stop half way when it starts to hurt!

What distance is this?

just the lens illusion. . . I would like to think I was bending them during the stroke, though!

Isn't using curved blades a little unusual? ;)

Yes . . . time comparisons always are taken with a grain of salt. Our race was end of the day Saturday and we did have some chop. Conditions were not as good as earlier in the day, but I will yield that conditions were a little more favorable than Sunday.

Excellent result. But to be fair, Saturday conditions were much more favorable than Sunday conditions.

Nice work fellas!

Time was faster than winning time in Mens Collegiate 8+.

Coxswain is great. She got us 8 golds and 2 silvers in 10 races.

Thanks Wade! Not sure where it is next year, but hopefully we can make it, too!

GoPro camera has a fishbowl lens which kind of distorts the image. It looks like my oar is bending the wrong way!

Really bending those oars! Oh, wait ...

Great race guys. Texas Rowing Center. I'll be in the Asheville boat next time. Looking forward to it.

Vid is great but the best part is the sound of pistons firing! Cox'n call is instructive too! (your pride is on the line!). Woof.

1k race. From the video, the time is 2:56.47.

Yes, it is one of the best ways to exersize! Get the rowing machine from concept2.
