Best 3 calls i have heard in ascending order: 1 "punch it Chewie", 2. We were at a college called Imperial College (IC), Cox shouted: "Lay down the IC law" with a rival crew next door.3, from GRB Olympic VIII, Sydney 2000: Harry Mahon (NZ legend) was coaching them with metastatic colorectal cancer and managed to survive till the games. With about 300m to go in Gold Medal place the cox called: "If Harry can coach you through cancer you can hang on for one more minute"
"Let them go" as another boat was making their push at 1000. Our stroke then screamed "F*** YOU!" at our coxain and our boat took a length and a half in 20 strokes hahaha.
My favorite: our boat was just coming up on another, and our coxswain said "Alright, come out of half pressure in two; one, two." Everyone increased pressure and the other boat just lost it.
Some of my fave things that I've said/heard coxes say: "I wanna see EYE TO EYE with that cox in the next 200 meters!" "See that 1? You have 1000 meters left. That used to be a 6!" "BIIIIG LEGS" "POWER TEN FOR SATAN" "Do you fucking want it or not because you better make me FLY"
Shadowwolf TD5000 bahah that was me. i was coxing one of my best friends and she hates taking power tens but admits that she needs to take them sometimes so i was just like "we're taking a ten. 1-for your seat. 2-for satan. 3-" (thanks for the high five)
I love 'here comes the BOOM!' im gonna try that, my best call ever was, leaning back so they could all see me i said 'push to break your footplates boys, next stroke.. [bam]... ow!" turned out to be a good tool
I'd say my favourite calls were probably the ones we had in my pair last year. They were "Hulk" and "Akinfenwa" (in that order) to signal the last charge. On a different note, I once played a rugby team that had the call "KFC ball"
We were up against 10 other really posh schools costing £25000 a year to attend and the cox shouted "you're faster than them, you don't need all the money, SHOW THEM WHERE TO STICK THEIR 25 GRAND A YEAR!!!!"
I have two - one I was in the crew - other not. I went to Imperial College (IC) - the call was "lay down the IC law". That got us about a length :-) The best was the GB Olympic VIII men 2000 - Harry Mahan (Kiwi) had terminal Colorectal cancer. They didn't think he would survive till the games, the boat was named after him. He did survive to the games and with about 350m to go the GB crew were dying - the Cox called out "If Harry can coach you through cancer you can hang on for 1 more minute".
As a cox my favorite call I’ve made is either calling us passing a paddle boarder during a piece or when I called “you’re LENTHS up on the other boats, that’s like 6 boat lengths or something”
@topgearfan1234567 That is peerless. You easily win the best call contest! It's a shame it didn't inspire your crew in the manner you had hoped for but I suppose the circumstances were against it from the beginning. I'll refrain from asking if you've had more "effective" results using that call since then. ; >

"FIND WHERE YOUR PAIN LIVES"
props to my assistant coach for screaming this from the launch
I think the best thing our cox has ever said would be "FEEL NO REMORSE IF YOU HIT A GOOSE." (with your oar) Our cox is pretty awesome.
I felt no remorse after hitting a boat as a rower (they steered into our lane and made us stop our race)
"Let them go" as another boat was making their push at 1000. Our stroke then screamed "F*** YOU!" at our coxain and our boat took a length and a half in 20 strokes hahaha.
+Mario Gaggioli You win
Why your coxswain fucking said to let them go omggg
My favorite: our boat was just coming up on another, and our coxswain said "Alright, come out of half pressure in two; one, two." Everyone increased pressure and the other boat just lost it.

"BIIIIG LEGS"
"POWER TEN FOR SATAN"
"Do you fucking want it or not because you better make me FLY"
+Jaya N.S. "Power ten for Satan"? Who came up with that??? (please give them a high five on my behalf)
Shadowwolf TD5000 bahah that was me. i was coxing one of my best friends and she hates taking power tens but admits that she needs to take them sometimes so i was just like "we're taking a ten. 1-for your seat. 2-for satan. 3-" (thanks for the high five)
'SUSPEND FOR 10'
'LEGS ON HANDS OFF, GOO!'
'SEND THIS BOAT!'
My favourite ever was 'bow 7, you are out of time'. I was at stroke, naturally.
I shouted once “BE YOUR INNER SWAN” I can’t remember why but we won the race
National championships and we were on the start line, as soon as 'attention' was called the cox yelled "we are already up by two seats". It worked.
“Put some mustard on it!” and “launch from your foot plates! This boat’s a missile, demolish them.”
Cambridge bumps races go wiiiild. Best ive heard yet was my cox screaming "RED SHELL!!!"
halfway through a race, long time to go, my cox shouted 'I CAN SEE THE FINISH!' 5 minutes later, we finished...
Most honest coxswain
"Embarrass their families"
Whenever we were winning it was always "pile on the misery."
Racing head of the Charles, 'Let's show them British Beef! Give me their bowball'.
"we don't negotiate with terrorists"
I'm a novice, and the best thing I've heard was "Way enough! I wanna look at that sea lion." or "Imagine how many fish we have accidentally killed."
I love 'here comes the BOOM!' im gonna try that,
my best call ever was, leaning back so they could all see me i said 'push to break your footplates boys, next stroke.. [bam]... ow!" turned out to be a good tool

On a different note, I once played a rugby team that had the call "KFC ball"
Shadowwolf TD5000 back when I played rugby, I was mac and cheese
"Legs and leaver, 30 strokes! Come on lads, shit on them! I want their souls!" O.o My cox in every race. :)
moviewizard471 omg the 'I want their soul' actually killed me, your cox is dope
My best call is a command to sprint. Whenever my crew should begin a sprint i scream RELEASE THE KRAKEN. It alway gets them moving
"RAMMING SPEED!!!"
keep it lean, keep it mean,row that shit and keep it clean
I Really Like The Video Rowers say what the best race call they have heard From Your
my coxin said in a race "I WANT THEM". i was stroke and was laughing the whole time
“HANDS IN THE BARBECUE!!”
"your rowing like novice boys"
"Slow up the recovery, and fist it on the drive"
Our coaches bribe our top boat with karaoke, so naturally, one of the calls in that boat is “ten for karaoke”
We were up against 10 other really posh schools costing £25000 a year to attend and the cox shouted "you're faster than them, you don't need all the money, SHOW THEM WHERE TO STICK THEIR 25 GRAND A YEAR!!!!"

"STAND ON IT"
last 500m "DROP THE BOMBS"
As a cox my favorite call I’ve made is either calling us passing a paddle boarder during a piece or when I called “you’re LENTHS up on the other boats, that’s like 6 boat lengths or something”
im a cox and once in a race i shouted "**** the bananas" (we were against a crew in yellow)
Rae Bomb I hope that wasn't us, we have yellow boats
Wish I'd used that one.
" 3rd 500, break them motherfuckers down "
One time I told my crew that they were men not boys, and to prove it to me. We lost because one of the guys fell out, he was pissing himself -_-
the best call is there winning what are you going to do about it !! thats gets everyone pumping it.
coxswain ought to be the most awesome job that ever existed
Johnny Varga I SWEAAAR
It is. Just have to make sure not to be too repetitive.
"Be the anomaly" (Bow of scull boat)
"Stick the Knife in"
those singles with the 1:00 girl..... I need an empacher
Then you must be in the Atlantic County area, right?
@topgearfan1234567
I take it you are a lady coxswain w/ a male crew? Did the laughter slow them down?
One time my coxswain had a panic attack during a scrimmage at practice and yelled "GO LEFT!"
FINISH THEM!!!!
Blackout 20
FUCKING ROW!!!!

@topgearfan1234567
No, no, there's no water here. It looks awesome tho. Cheers.
We say in the last 250m of the race "Unleash HELL"
"ten for swag"
power ten for satan!
well none of this was funny
