I felt the guy closest to the host had the best form, and the instructor gave good instruction as well. Of course he did considering as the leader pointed out he is a national champion... :lol: That was a cool video... I'm glad it was posted. :) The leader, Josh Crosby, has quite a record himself: ...

I go for information overload... during my long pieces I turn the TV on with closed captioning activated (I generally try to setup enough programs in my guide to fill the entire piece) and have an Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) with upbeat random music. (its tiny/light so I can clip it to my unisuit and it ...

It is interesting to see some of the responses.

I'm trying to keep my split b/w 2:07-2:08. At the lower stroke rates I...

I discovered Crew in the latter part of my college career (I did it as part of club crew for only a few years) and after graduating I bought myself a Concept2 because I've not always been close enough to water to make a boat purchase be a viable option. I also enjoy the instant bio-feedback (being a...

Where would you find a USB connection? Comes with the software? Buy it online? If your Concept2 has a PM3 or PM4 then it should have shipped with a USB cable.
