Rowing SUPER FAIL - Sculling - Regatta 2014

Watch as these rowers fail over and over and over

I have literally used this video as an example when trying to explain to people from California how high strung and hyper competitive New England parents are.

[@tankmaster1018]

@@quisp1492 I would be heaving a nervous breakdown if I was on one of those boats, getting screamed at by all those parents. You can tell they're all already freaking out that they can't get out of the way, then on top of that all you can hear is "COME ON! MOVE! YOU RUINED IT!"

Real fail is having those parents

[@AbrahamNixons]

What complete *Losers* the folks on the sidelines are! How about you take it easy with all the yelling? Can't you see those poor women are having a crisis? Listen, as a member of *r/TwoXChromosomes*, I'm no stranger to manufactured crisis so I know very well that sometimes when faced with a minor amount of adversity, your faculties just shut down and you freeze. If my time at TwoX has taught me anything, it's that no amount of heckling from the sidelines is going to helpful, what these women need are gentle and encouraging pats on the back followed by a chorus of patronizing sympathies, "Oh Sweetie, I'm so sorry that happened to you!". Why do we have to berate them for such a simple mistake? Freezing while under pressure could happen to anyone. For Pete's sake, it even happened to Eminem in the critically acclaimed Film "8 Mile", and even he didn't appreciate the heckling, in fact, it bothered him so much that he ran away! Well you know what? These women didn't run away. They stayed put and they took the criticism, regardless of how soul crushing and self esteem shattering the experience was. In my books, that makes them more resilient and brave than Eminem. Ciao.

I suppose this is what happens when you row without coxswains or the awareness of a spoon. Also, I'm fairly certain a good portion of the spectators are in fact, literal cancer in human form.

[@dkeith45]

I've never rowed one of these, but used to be in a canoe brigade that had a ten man canoe and used to race with them against other teams. There were plenty of female paddlers. What I see in this video is bad coaching. Whoever thought it was a good idea to take untrained rowers and have them race, was a damn'd fool. Unless the teams know how to maintain complete control at all times, there should at least have been one trained adult in each boat to direct them. Stupid adults are at fault here.

[@abcdefu359]

dkeith45 That's a lot of bad coaches.

[@liamthedevastator]

You would be shocked how dangerous this shit is. Granted, the parents yelling doesn't help much, but those girls were violating a LOT of common sense. I guarantee this is novice though, so that's part of it I'm sure.

[@DanDanDoe]

How can there be such a clusterfuck of everyone making mistakes in one single regatta? As if nobody here has ever rowed with or against another boat and no-one has felt the need to tell the coxes and rowers how to deal with that. Just... how?!

[@hippo1854]

I love that the only time the parents applaud is when a boat succeeds in ... backing out of the reeds.

[@duanedonovan1789]

Tried rowing once, spent the first hour learning just how not to fall out of the damn thing. Great deal harder than it looks.

[@SocksAndSalami]

In the first clip, the coxswain should have had 7, 5 and 3 seat square to get off the course of the dock. If that didn't work, add in stroke to square. Yes, that may be overkill, but it's better than careening into the dock and nearly killing your rowers (their heads were SO close to hitting the edge of the dock.) They should have also had starboard row with more pressure, which they might have been doing. As a coxswain, I respect other coxswain and know that the job is very hard, and especially with tall rowers in a sternloader, it's hard to see stuff. But when you see it coming that fast, you CANNOT fix it gradually, you have to be immediate. I think everyone was pretty inexperienced though. The coach should have been there telling them to stop, but they were probably drowned out by the hordes of screaming moms screaming the most useless things...

[@elementsk84life1]

Pretty much a perfect visual representation of why I quit team sports forever. Having to deal with dumbass teammates who have no idea what they are doing l, mixed with crazy coaches/parents yelling out you taking the whole thing way too seriously. Never again, No thank you.

[@FishyTheHook]

Those boats cost anywhere between 10k-50k. What a joke that these team's coaches thought they could do a race with the experience I witnessed. The boat team during my highschool, I don't think anyone was allowed in an official race until they had at least a year of practice out on the river. We did mock races against other schools during practice ever now and then, but nothing which involved a multitude of boats. It's scary enough during a race when you catch a wave during choppy water conditions and almost get pulled overboard. Deer in headlight syndrome with all these rowers.

So nice to hear parents backing up their children remembering sport is suppose to be fun.... !!

[@stampersmedia]

I remember doing crew in high school and I was in a boat of 4. We had just finished a huge workout, and we stopped for a moment to take a breather before docking in. And when the time came to dock in, and when we heard "ROW" we pushed, but then we started tipping over (bear in mind, a 4 person boat is pretty hard to keep balanced) so we just expected to keep balance. Sadly, we started tipping over, water started filing up, and we tipped over. So yeah, moral of the story, I feel so much better after seeing this video xD But yeah I'm sorry for all those teams in this video, I know the struggle! No worries man!

These parents should be fucking ashamed of themselves for being so damn abusive on the sidelines.

Harassing them into crying and panic attacks because they are making mistakes is asinine and frankly pretty disgusting.

[@fltraxal]

That was honestly so funny to watch but literally nobody there knew what they were doing, especially that coxswain in the middle of the race course lmfaooooo
