I am so grateful to have been able to take a car across 8 diverse states over the course of 10 days! I only got footage of a few of the many locations I went to visit. If anyone out there is thinking about doing a road trip like this, I 100% recommend! I was able to find dispersed camping almost every night which gave me experiences I will forever remember! Thank you for watching! :)

My First Time Rowing a Single!
Просмотров 58 тыс.Год назад
I've been rowing for two months now, but never quite expected this from a single. Doubles and quads are definitely more stable but I have to say, I had a super fun day out on the water! If you enjoyed the video please hit the like and subscribe for more!
5AM morning routine

Being a High School student, I'm always trying to get a good morning routine to start my day. A good breakfast with a good workout before school always makes me feel more energized and ready for all my school work. I hope you feel a bit more motivated to start your morning earlier to get that good, energetic feeling throughout your day!

    Brings back such great memories! I flipped my single quite a few times when I was starting out on the canal in Milan (naviglio). There are a lot of tourists in that area and they of course get their phones out and start recording as you're trying to get back into the boat. You're on YT within the hour. But love the way this fella just keeps smiling - great attitude. Keep it up and it will all start coming together.

    I loved this POV, thank you! 😂 I'm a Masters newbie (8 months in) and after my 2nd time out in a single, Coach decided that's where I belong. Which terrifies me. I want to be back in a stable boat! haha (that same outing I managed to stay upright the entire time... until I got to the dock. Oof!)

      I must say, after rowing in a single for a while now, there's definitely something beautiful about learning the balance and technique! (Even though I do agree that other boats are much more stable 😂) But I'm glad you started rowing and I'm wishing you the best in your journey!

    All that gear but no idea how to use it. You should start in a less competitive boat since they are often more forgiving than the 100% carbon with backwing racing shells.

    Man, I sooooo happy to see that I`m not the only one struggeling hard in a single. ;) I had been rowing previously (5 years ago) in a 4x but stopped and went back into rowing three weeks ago and my coach threw me in a Coastal single the first few sessions and today into an actual single pretty much like yours. But in contrast to you, I was scared to death and almost peed my pants for the first 10min before it got slightly better. So funny that I came across your video today. Brighten my mood tremendously and I hope you are sticking with rowing. The fun in your voice at least made it look like you are having a lot of fun.

    Oh dear - we have all been for a bath or two over the years. I remember finding out how quick release my quick release riggers were when they were not not locked on properly - SPLASH! Dude I think is trying to run before he can walk - shorter stroke particularly at the start, crisp even exits from the water, hands, hands , hands. And never ever let go of the blades - they are your stabilisers and supports. Needs to work on the technique and building up on the strokes over time.

    So I have not done a single, as I am currently in a college that does all sweep rowing. I sculled a Quad over the summer, because local rec team was cheap to join and got me my water time I needed, and man that compared to a 4 is heaven! But I've basically done 4, quad, and 8... I'm on my last year of eligibility, so i'll be done after this year. Maybe this summer I'll get in a single. Only problem is our rec team isn't in a nice lake. We're in a river that's an active shipping channel (albeit, a part that's under used and sheltered by an island). But It'd be cool to learn and take a single up stream on the same river and put it in further up. It's a nice long stretch where people tube and kayak.

    • @nicolaspokusa
      @nicolaspokusa Год назад

      That sounds amazing! I've definitely gotten better with rowing the single since my first time... Thankfully!! And it is probably my top boat. The feeling of being completely in control once you learn the technique and balance is like nothing else, and I'm sure that would be great rowing up stream!
