Concept2
Concept2 is a manufacturer of rowing equipment based in Vermont, USA. It is best known for its air resistance indoor rowing machines (a.k.a. "ergometers" or "ergs"), which are considered the standard training and testing machines for competition rowers and can be found in most gyms.〔http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=M0sEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA7&lpg=PA7&dq=Gjessing+rowing+machine&source=bl&ots=Gh1YGvP2Jc&sig=BxjUfskMksCmBrazLhDceLRKj9Y&hl=en&ei=kJc4TbOqIJSxhAeiloXmCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Gjessing%20rowing%20machine&f=false〕 Both the CRASH-B Sprints (which style themselves ''the world championship for indoor rowing'') and the British Indoor Rowing Championships indoor rowing competitions are rowed on Concept2 indoor rowers. Concept2 also manufactures oars for sculling and sweep rowing (under the name ''Dreissigacker'') and air resistance Nordic skiing trainers (''SkiErgs'').
== History ==
The company was founded in 1976 by rowing brothers Dick and Pete Dreissigacker. The two brothers trialed for the American team for the 1976 Summer Olympics and while preparing, they modified their oars with carbon fiber in an attempt to go faster. When they were not selected for the team, they founded the company and started selling carbon fiber oars. Their first office was in the back of a bread truck until they bought a farm in Morrisville, Vermont, USA.
