Interview: Greg Hammond—Concept2
Concept2 is a small company out of Morrisville, Vermont, that makes indoor rowing machines that are proving to make a huge difference in the fitness and general physical preparedness of our sports top athletes (think Stewart, Dungey, Voss).
Greg Hammond handles the motor and action sports training for Concept2. He's been doing some great things for the motorcycle industry in the last few years so I thought I'd take a minute to catch up with him and see what's next.

Hangin’ with The Nitro Circus: Concept2’s Journey into Motocross
Concept2 has been in the rowing business since 1976 when brothers Dick and Pete Dreissigacker, fresh from Olympic training, started making composite and carbon fiber racing oars in the back of their bread truck. Those oars would go on to become the oar of choice among the world's on-water rowers.
The pair later went on to create the Concept2 Indoor Rower, a piece of cardio equipment that has quickly become the preferred training tool among motocross' top trainers and riders.
