Hey you guys, thank you for voting in the poll. I’ll leave it open for late-comers. To express my gratitude, here is a picture I consider one of my best finds.
Stretched
(Click the pic for the full size.)

What those guys are doing, which was once considered a form of torture, looks like a lot of fun. If I’m a hostage to a group of hard, lean, smooth guys and everyone is wearing a spandex skinsuit, I really wouldn’t care how they handle me. But I am curious about this. Props to whoever can tell me how this picture came to be.

    It’s one of a series of team photos (I think it may actually be a desktop wallpaper). Some of the pictures are posed, others aren’t. I think this one is just a case of frolicking on the beach. I can’t find the original posting of this particular series, but there’s others from years past here:

    There’s also some good photos of the current team at:

    I’d love to get my hands on one of those Bio-Racer skinsuits, notice that there’s no seams at the waist, at the sides, or up the back.

    There’s a tradition that after you win a rowing race, you throw the coxswain (person who steers the boat) into the water. I think that’s what they’re doing here.
