I came across a really nice French Website

Listed below it the hyperlink to a French website that has an archive of rowing MPEGs. Especially nice is the footage of a single sculler performing tricks in his boat. The other footage that I like is of the men's double scull Olympic Champions.

This is great footage of Olympic gold medalist Niko Riinks

In this footage you see the view of a coxwain steering the dutch national team. The crew races down the Bootsbahn in Amsterdam. The weather looks less than comfortable.... Nothing like the sunshine in California!!!

Bob Spenger in his eighties, a rowing friend of mine.

This is Bob Spenger. He lives in California at five thousand feet of elevation, somewhere in Lone Pine off Highway 395. The first time I met him, he blew me away by rowing a world record for his age category at the Iron Oarsman. His time was in the neighborhood of 8 minutes for 2k. He came to see me for some technique feedback and to have me witness his 2000 meter piece so he could be selected as a US rower to the Eruopean Championship. At age 79 he had open heart surgery. One of his valves was replaced.

The story of a blind rowing friend of ours!

Aerial Gilbert is a friend of ours. She is one courageous tough lady. She is very inspirational. I am very thankful to know her.

Another form of indoor rowing at the office. No need to change saddle, except for the coach.

I have seen this clip a trillion times but I am sure that not everyone has seen it. This is a good idea to stay fit when working in an office environment.

A thank you note from Larry S. He is 65 years old and will compete at the Crash-B next February...

Larry blazed a 1:33 for 500 meters after a pretty hard workout. I have no doubt that he will clearly break 1:30 for 500 meters when well resteted. He was an inspiration yesterday for the Corona Del Mar high school tennis players. They saw his power, it was good for them to see. Below is today's email to me. Thank you Larry for your kind words.



Hi Xeno,



I just want to thank you for your evaluation and other help you have given me this past year. You are always upbeat about my ability even when I have doubts and you inspire me (and I’m sure many others) to continue and to try to excel in the sport.



You are doing a great service with your enthusiasm about keeping active with rowing. As your word spreads, many of us oldies who are sliding down the razorblade of life will take heed and enjoy additional years of productive and pain free living.



Thanks,



Larry S

A scene from the not too distant past.

My friend Shaggy is the main character in this clip. He used this video to win the high school contest to determine the dorkiest male student is. He is not dorky, very smart and a good rower. I am the "dance guru/master"... Enjoy

Mike O. (photo) sent a Testimonial about the Iron Oarsman and Xeno

This photo is of Mike O. He came down to the Iron Oarsman and took a workout with me. Thank you you Mike for your compliments.
Hi Xeno,
Thanks for a warm welcome and a great class the other week. Rowing on slides was a not only a blast but taught me a thing or two about proper technique. The way that you broke down the complete movement really helped me get in tune with what was right and what wasn't. I was so pumped that I went out and got a pair of slides and have been following your DVD sessions. Next time I get down to L.A., I would like to schedule a session with you! Thanks again!
Mike O

Thank you Mike for your nice words. It is a pleasure for me to help others enjoy indoor rowing to greater levels. XENO
