My amusement level is quite high right now. Between Lewis Hamilton being seen with his apparently new girlfriend Kim Kardashian, Charles Leclerc being in a Pokemon commercial, Lando Norris also apparently being present, and the Cadillac livery launch sometime in the fourth quarter, this is more...

I can only imagine the rage and frustration of the NSTB investigators.

Season 8 of Drive to Survive releases on 27 February (the weekend before the first race of the year). I am really not looking forward to this. I am expecting a full villain arc for Oscar and the series either totally ignoring Jack, glossing over the horrible treatment of him, or worst, trying...

My local cinema was running an anniversary screening of Return of the King last night. Extended edition and all. Well, how could I resist the temptation of going to see it on the big screen again? My god. I had forgotten how utterly amazing the movie was on the big screen. There's even a few...

Wasn't my argument. Was a response to skateboy's argument like Jason has somehow been blocking all these super-reliable awesome skaters who definitely would have done better than him, when the reality is, those skaters have had plenty of opportunities to establish themselves and none have taken it.

You lot were saying that last year too. Jason literally offered the chance on a silver platter last year. He didn't just leave the door open, he took it off its hinges, decorated it with neon signs and flashing lights. And nobody took the opportunity. Leaving Jason to save the US men's asses...

If Jason had finished fourth there would have been a perfectly fine argument to send him. The argument would then have been Maxim vs Torgashev and it is not at all certain which way that would have gone. Jason going in 2022 was absolutely the correct decision and he proved it not only at the...

Jason will be the insurance. USFS likely does not trust anyone else to help Ilia keep the third spot, and frankly, rightly so. The last time the Worlds team was Jason, Ilia, and Torgashev, it was not Jason who failed, despite the many gleeful predictions. Jacob getting to go to 4CC alongside...

In 2018 Jason (and Max) went to 4CC and laid down beautiful redemption skates. Jason then withdrew from Worlds. I do not expect to see him at Worlds, but I hope he gives us a final gift at 4CC. It would be the saddest thing of all if that horror skate was his last.

I don't know. Maybe he's sick. Maybe his body reminded him it's 31 now and not 19. Maybe the exhaustion of spending the last four years constantly saving the US men's asses and still being constantly criticised and carped on as not being good enough hit him in that moment. No-one will know...

There's not a snowball's chance in hell Jason threw that skate. He continued four years longer than planned to make the Olympics. He wasn't going to throw it at the last second for anybody.

i look at that table and I'm laughing and crying at the same time. Because even now Jason's total is still so much higher than nearly everyone else's. But they won't leave Maxim off now. I am devastated, but resigned.

That's going to be nice and torturous for them.

The flexibility wasn't something he was born with - he worked tremendously hard to get it and at 30 years old I can only imagine how hard he works to keep it.

Based on...what, exactly? Because neither skater has shown even a skerrick of proof that they could possibly displace Jason for the Olympic spot. Neither even remotely come close to his body of work or his scores when he is on. And when the heat is on on the big stage and you need a performer...
