If you are joining us here for the first time,
my name is Shane Farmer this is Dark Horse Rowing
and we are all about fitness bringing you guys
the rowing machine, helping explain how this thing works
but also talking about broader concepts of health
and fitness so if this is your first time here guys
make sure that you like, subscribe and share.
God, I hope you like this cause this is a douse.
Let's go have some fun.
What's up guys?
Today we're at Kwaay Paay Mountain,
here in San Diego, California and we're going to
take a rower to the top of that mountain.
Why? Because we can and because it's going to be awesome.
There is no reason that we can't just get outside,
be fit, do things with our bodies.
There is an awesome opportunity to mess around
with fitness and have fun with it.
So let's get up that mountain.
Now typically we consider these things pretty light
and mobile because we can break them into two pieces
and I can move it around pretty easily.
However, I feel like that's probably going
to change like 200 feet up this trail.
So we are here at the base of Kwaay Paay.
We're going to carry this err to the top,
I want to say it's about 2000-ish feet of elevation gain.
Normally I can run this in about 19 minutes.
I'm guessing this is going to take us,
I don't know, near an hour maybe.
The Concept Two Model D, out of the box weighs 57 pounds
plus my bag which is a nimble four pounds
compared to the err.
We're taking like 60 pounds up the mountain
and then we're going to do a workout at the top.
All in an effort to get you guys excited
about going and doing fitness.
My goal is to maintain a bit of a jogging pace.
We'll see how that goes...
The jogging pace, not as bad as I thought.
It's just grind-y so far, surviving.
- [Ben] Camera there.
So this is the infamous Kwaay Paay Falls Peak,
we're through about half of the elevation gain,
but distance wise we covered three quarters
of the mountain so in the last quarter
we had half of the elevation gain.
We will see how that goes but look at this.
This is why we fitness...
Cause nobody else gets this view
except those of you that earn it.
This is what's worth it. It's to be the ones up here.
We made it, here we are, top of Kwaay Paay Mountain.
I think that probably took about 29 minutes,
not as slow as I would have thought.
Listen the whole point of this is simply
to show you that fitness is everywhere.
It doesn't belong just to a machine,
it doesn't belong just outside.
You can make fitness whatever you want it
to be so we're going to work out
here but really get outside.
If you love the rower, go use the rower.
If you found us because of this rower,
stick with us we're going to show you
even more cool stuff with this thing
and we're going to take this all sorts of places
and this mountain is just the first.
So we just climbed Kwaay Paay Summit here in San Diego,
got a work-out in at the top and we hiked it back down.
The hike down was so much worse.
Can you see my shoulders?
I was worth it though so guys this has been
rowing in inappropriate places with me
Shane Farmer and Dark Horse Rowing.
Make sure that you guys like, subscribe, share
if you enjoy this video we'll bring you more.
We'll take this thing to even weirder places
and more inappropriate places,
do more inappropriate rowing for you
but in the mean time have a great one guys,
we'll see you on the other side.
Someone swiped your oh, gotta say something about that.
So at the beginning of the climb
we put up Ben's GoPro, he's on the other side of the camera
right now and set it up inside a bush
to kind of time lapse the whole day.
Somebody stole it guys, don't take other people's stuff.
Dude, have your own thing, you don't have
to somebody else's cause doing that
is just being a real turd.
Maybe the person was being nice
and maybe we'll find it on Craigslist's lost and found,
hopefully but seriously don't take people's stuff.
Come on, this is a public service announcement,
Shane Farmer Dark Horse Rowing,
don't take people's shit.
