- Forward Rowing. A poem.
An exponent of front-looking rowin’,
When asked by onlookers unknowin’,
Explains with a grin
That it really suits him,
‘Cos he likes to see where he is goin’!
Sure it’s not quite the way oars are seen
Articulated and facing aft of beam.
But with standard oars the view
That confronts you anew
Is of everywhere you have just been!
So despite the occasional stare,
Like all thinking people who care
He likes to see -
Just what confronts he;
At each bend, at each snag - everywhere.
Do you walk backwards in life he exclaims?
It would be silly and daft he explains!
Why not be like me He announces with glee -
I always arrive - where I aims! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
This was a really nice video, I loved the explanation.
where can i buy a forward facing rowing system?
An exponent of front-looking rowin’,
When asked by onlookers unknowin’,
Explains with a grin
That it really suits him,
‘Cos he likes to see where he is goin’!
Sure it’s not quite the way oars are seen
Articulated and facing aft of beam.
But with standard oars the view
That confronts you anew
Is of everywhere you have just been!
So despite the occasional stare,
Like all thinking people who care
He likes to see -
Just what confronts he;
At each bend, at each snag - everywhere.
Do you walk backwards in life he exclaims?
It would be silly and daft he explains!
Why not be like me He announces with glee -
I always arrive - where I aims!
Well Harvey, this is not what I was expecting. I thought I would see an ancient fisherman standing in his boat and rowing gently with his oars in a back-to-front way. But this looks like proper powerful rowing, but facing the direction of travel. It must take a bit of getting used to, and the very clever pivot system is bound to rob you of some of the feel of the oar that is one of the joys of the sport, but I am curious enough to be Googling the manufacturer for more information. Fascinating. Thanks Harvey.
