LENINGRAD is CATCHY TUNE ALSO

Thanks 😊 🙏 Michael

I like your work Mike.

Very Nice, thx for sharing

Thank you for this journey down memory lane. Wonderful .

I've sent the clip to Neville Howe, still alive, from the Australian 8. He might know. To me, it doesn't look like the Australian 8.

At about 4:00 in the video, there is a crew of 8 that passes a powerboat in this film... anyone know if that 8 is the gold-medal-winning USA team, or one of the other countries?

May I add to the crew, cox - David Pitt (my father!)

Increíble documento.

loved it thankyou Michael

Loved the scenes around Mildura in 1965, loved the old Riverboats, all those kids are probably Grandparents now? And you know what I loved best of all, no one is glued to a mobile phone! Happy Days!

Hi! Do you happen to have any other videos from this race? I am looking for videos with my father, he took part in this competition and won in men 4x (the Soviet Union team). Do you know where could I look for them?

John Driessan taught me lessons in the boat which I use regularly in daily life. He's also top bloke. Many thanks John from Freddie.

Interestinng to see some of mildura 1 yr before i was born.... Not into the regatta boats but bringing back good memories of the old mildura bridge, rio vista and the pump and roller across the road that as kids we used to play on quite often before h&s made it disappear.... Anymore footage of this period would be great to see!

BEST VIDEO CHANSON GOOD

Excellent.

By any chance do you have footage of the lightweight men's 8 race? My dad was in the US boat for that race, and it'd be a killer surprise for him to see his big race. (And I'd love to see it too!)

A remarkable film.. can't wait to buy the book.

Nice voice, great idea !!

All time best rowing video!!

Nice one Michael!

Nice

Sally McKenzie Nicka, This is an absolutely wonderful and sentimental trip down memory lane. Fascinating to watch the MUBC boys pack their boat in a crate and ship it off to Japan, then unpack it and row off in their terry towelling hats. Who amongst us has not worn a terry towelling hat?? I know I have! Well done! October 24 at 8:02am · Unlike · 1 Angela Turrell Nice you got our Flav in the film!!!! October 30 at 8:30am · Like

To Mike Nicholson, ‘Longevity in Rowing’……a Mike Nicholson film….. My special thanks for the KZbin which editing was done like a professional and left fond memories of Ballarat and Melbourne. Smiles shown by everyone as if they are enjoying every moment of the stay was great. Thank you again and best regards. Takenobu Sato WK Masters

It is a wonderful movie covering activities of and exchange between the Melbourne University Boat Club and the Keio University Boat Club in 1956, 1969 and 2014. Certainly this is a great gift to our Melbourne-kai members who will be thrilled to watch it. Thank you very much. And you have completed it only in 10 days after the morning row which was on October 13th. I must say speed of your production is amazing! I must let all the members know immediately. I will come back to you after finding what they have to say. Tohru

thankyou for making me famous...I saw the flashing sculler that went past with the red top and it brought back some good memories...dreams are the stuff that life is made from...hope to see you at the club

interesting style! They're all taking a lot on the arms, but it's consistent across the boat, so clearly what they were aiming for.

Fantastic video!

Great Nicho - well done

Great music and video - live rowing drama!

Wonderful Idea ! Next step: local govt permission. Then sponsors.

Great idea.... Looked like the kayak won ???

i love these old movies/videos. the wooden boats and oars are beautiful, its sad in a way that wood has been replaced by high tech materials. the piantedosi oars i had in the 80's were works of art. the same can't be said for anything made of carbon fiber in my opinion. .there's just no life, character, or individuality in manufactured materials.

check out how the oars flex! great photography, especially considering the camera equipment available back then.

wooden boats and oars seem to have life. a characteristic modern high tech boats will never have in spite of their light weight and other advantages

Great rowing in a glorious location. We will have to do it again.

Is that Tom Simpson, Johnny's son? Why would you comment on this film??

Thanks for the memories Mike Dawn scrabble player extraordinaire!

Hallo Michael. That's a strong Video. Perfect!!! That's rowing!!! Greatings from Switzerland. Go to the Rotsee.

woah 6:47 bow coxed 8 ahah

yes i know that and also the brit 4 also had a bad lane but my comment still stands they are the best technicial lightweight 4 i have ever seen and their gold medal the previous year was a credit to them, and i believe is the correct way that all rowers should aspire to

Australia had the best lane in london...

I thought this was technically the best lightweigh 4 i have ever seen bar none its a pity london was such a tossup withthe lanes

how do you concentrate on rowing with that kind of scenery

I LIKE!!!!
