Downtown Jason Brown - Let the Good Times Roll (uber thread #2)

Jason's free looks beautiful but there's a sense of bitterness and regret to the song that makes me sad he's using it as his goodbye program. In any case, there are going to be a lot of moist eyes in the audience.
 
I was in Sun Valley ID last weekend, and got to see Jason and Rohene Ward, among many skaters at the rink at the Sun Valley Lodge. I really appreciated how they featured so many local skaters. The following morning I briefly lobbychicked him and his parents (who are lovely) at brunch. He is about as genuine as they come, and I made a point of thanking his parents for everything they had done to bring the bright light that is Jason to the international skating world.
 
Jason seems to be scheduled to compete in CS Trialeti Trophy in Georgia (Oct 8-11, 2025).
It seems there is a live stream available for a fee.


ETA: Jason is listed for the CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge (October 1-4), and his IGS indicates that he is traveling to Kazakhstan. Did Ice Stars post incorrect information about the Trialeti Trophy? :unsure:

On his SP Riverdance:
...my long part of this year is so personal, with such a personal story, that almost felt like the long was for me, and then I was able to, like, give back in the short, and the short was for you guys, and I'm just so overwhelmed and so grateful for all the support over the years that this short program is kind of like my gift to the audience and the fans and everyone that's been supporting me throughout my career as just like a thank you, and we're kind of celebrating it together, and we're in it together.

On his FS Say Something:
I've always struggled throughout my career to speak up and use my voice and advocate for myself, and I really wanted to… have a program that represented that and showed the growth that I was making, not only as a person and not only as a skater, but as a person on the ice as well.
And so I really wanted to… do something that was so personal, and tell a story about really speaking up and using your voice and finding your voice.

(I apologize if I didn't write everything down - he speaks pretty fast, lol)

I find it interesting that both of the top two US men talk about their 'voice' in relation to their free skate this year.

I also wonder how he manages to carry four suitcases at the same time on his own 😂

Jason seems quite fit early on in the season. I like the layout of the LP. It's more challenging. I wonder, if he's feeling adventurous, if he would move a 3A pass to the 2nd half, maybe repeat the Lutz instead of Flip. IDK. Squeeze out another couple of points ....

He has no choice as the worst of the skaters are performing multiple Quads! Jason doesn't even have 1, so he needs to either step it up or get TF out! The men can only get so far in artistic pt. gathering! It's a more physical even now; esp. for the men! :cautious: 😱:wall: :eek:

Doesn't Jason frequently receive an edge call on his lutz, or at least a !? If so, he's better off with the flip executed well.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing him develop these programs over the course of the season.

No, I don't recall seeing any edge call for his lutz, at least in in recent years. That said, his flip is such a beautiful jump - I've always felt like it was his easiest, most comfortable jump. Back in the days when he was still attempting quads, first toe then salchow, I wondered if he might have done better trying with the flip, despite the fact that it's harder in general.
 
^It looks like doubling the axel at the beginning cost him more points later in the program, when he had to leave the 2A out of his sequence to avoid Zayaking, but it was still a decent October performance.

Tomoki 3rd? That's great but I will be interested only if he replicates that elsewhere, and consistently. Same can be said for ALL US men not named Ilia and Jason!

He continues to stay in the top 20 in the world (ISU Standings) and often places better than men with quads. So there's that.
