Had the DF at 205 today. Darn hard to pull. Quickly tiring. Have no idea if Conibear stroke being used. In all actuality there's hardly two cents difference in the various strokes. They all employ legs, back, arms in a coordinated fashion.

Geez Ranger, there are a whole ton of amazing women in the sport of rowing that could probably kick your ass up and down the block. What’s with the sexist bull shit?

The four basic rowing styles are Adam, DDR, Rosenberg, and Grinko with greater or lesser emphasis on legs or trunk and on consequent or simultaneous movement. Where does the Conibear style fit admidst those four?

I think you'll find Ranger can't reply to that as his lifetime ban has been re-instated.

I'm amazed by how excellent some of the women rowers are. Absolutely outstanding, and I'm more than happy to be beaten by them, as it's all done on merit.

Those who lobbied for him to stay here can still find him, totally uncensored, on his own facebook page under the name Richard Cureton"

If you like to engage him, I'm sure he'd welcome you. If you just like reading his insults, taunts, and criticisms of those who actually compete and who coach, it's there is spades. Don't look for him on rowing groups on facebook, because he's been banned from at least two of them also.

There, he can rest-in-peace as I don't have a Faceborg ID.

Danger, one only needs to row OTW on a team to validate what you are saying. If you go to any regatta, there are probably twice as many bad ass women as there are men. And it goes from masters down through youth rowing
