2025 Skate America Mens Short - Quadless in Lake Placid

[peibeck]

Seriously, who do we talk to about Ashley. @tony, you gotta text someone.

There was just a hitman on the ice.

 

[Karen-W]

Ashley - if you stop shouting, we'll all pretend you really could land a full rotated triple-triple combo.

Don't go makin' promises some of us (like me and probably @Private Citizen) will never ever keep!

 

[Sally1214]

OK, I'm loving Jason's shirt.

 

[tangerine dream]

Shaidorov's hair is giving Shawn from Boy Meets World, it's very 90s.

 

[misskarne]

LET'S GO JASON!

 

[floridaice]

I hope we get to see a bit of Johnny on NBC here in Canada this weekend. He might not be everyone's cup of tea but he's never boring. Personally, I find him very knowledgeable and quite fair in his commentating. And, of course, he's ALWAYS making some kind of fashion statement.

I agree.. It's Tara that is unbearable.

 

[TAHbKA]

Is that an unfortunate shirt style and angle, or is Brown erm... full?

 

[~tapdancer~]

Love Jason's costume. I like sparkles.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

What platform are you hearing Ashley on?

 

[her grace]

NBC shows SBS pics of Malilin and Shaidorov as jr and sr world medalists. Cute kids.

 

[Karen-W]

Shaidorov's hair is giving Shawn from Boy Meets World, it's very 90s.

OMG! That is EXACTLY who he resembles!

 

[myhoneyhoney]

OmG, no screeching!!

 

[Karen-W]

Is that an unfortunate shirt style and angle, or is Brown erm... full?

He's been, erm, filling out, the past couple seasons.

 

[jamesy]

What platform are you hearing Ashley on?

All of them.

Terry is really fixated on Jason being 30 years old. I bet he says it again at some points when he finishes the program.

 

[Karen-W]

So, who had Liam with the best jumps of the American men today in the SP?

 

[misskarne]

Jason BROWN (USA)
Riverdance

GOOSEBUMPS
3F soft as butter, +5
3A YES!

[Wyliefan]

Shaidorov's hair is giving Shawn from Boy Meets World, it's very 90s.

The minute I saw that I was like "OF COURSE!" I can absolutely see it.

 

[Braulio]

Almost...

 

[skatingguy]

Jason Brown
Coach: Tracy Wilson
Music: Reel Around the Sun by Bill Whelan

3F
3A< - tight landing
Flying Sit Spin 4
3Lz+3Tq - large step out
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 3

The jumps are not quite in Championship-season form, but the program is as fun, and entertaining as ever.

82.69 = 1st Place

 

[MacMadame]

Terry is really fixated on Jason being 30 years old. I bet he says it again at some points when he finishes the program.

Does he mention he'll be 31 in a month?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I said a bad word out loud.

 

[Citlali]

Too bad the jump combination, I feel this program need to be squeaky clean to truly shine

 

[Elisheba]

Ok I guess I will make a Jason Brown exception to my hatred of skaters doing riverdance. He actually keeps up with the music and hits accents.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

I spent all the pairs and all the men looking for a new makeup palette, but Jason made me sit up and pay attention.

The jumps were messy, but that was a performance.

 

[peibeck]

Even if his jumps aren't where they once were, Jason can sell a program and have the most expression and flexible spins of any guy in the world.

 

[her grace]

I like the 2014 version better—he’s kinda like the Shibs risking looking like a worse version of himself with such a direct comparison.

Looks like the panel is doing its job today.

 

[genevieve]

Luc Economides here to fill the skater-boy box that is empty without Ilia at SkAm this year, lol.

I felt bad for skipping him but maybe it's just as well?

Jason's Riverdance doesn't have the youthful exuberance that made it such a hit a zillion years ago but it is nice to see such a well-embodied and comfortable performance. No surprise on teh 3A but I'm just glad he stood up on it.

Yes, he's not what he was, but this is a much better GP start than he had last year

 

[jlai]

I don't know, this is a good program compared to the others, but I've seen better Brown programs. Plus that 3/3 being off.
And it made me miss the 19 year-old Brown.

 

[Karen-W]

Johnny's telling us that Jason's 3A was called < and the combo was called 3Lz+3Tq - that's going to hurt his score.
