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

[el henry]

I'm rooting like crazy for Nathan, because 1) I'm American, so what the heck and 2) if he wins OGM, any chance we see a W/D and Jason at Worlds?

That would be a win/win right now in my eyes. If not, I'm so glad Jason ended the season with that glorious performance.

 

[skatfan]

Gosh, I really wish he'd gone back to this program earlier this season. So amazing, he's really "grown up" in this performance.

Does anyone know if Jason will be retiring after this season?

I believe he has mentioned he will continue.

He was absolutely spellbinding in that FS. He has a way of drawing you in, and suddenly nothing else matters any more.

 

[VGThuy]

The new scoring system may benefit Jason with the increases in GOE range. Are quads also going to be devalued a bit? And we still have one less jumping pass too with thirty seconds less though, right? I really hate that last one.

The New York Times Magazine Section has an article that focuses on Jason.

Thank you for posting that lovely article from Feb 1 New York Times Magazine Section. The joy with which Jason skates is undeniable. He's one of kind, imo.

Jason tweeted:

Worked with the Wall Street Journal yesterday on a piece to breakdown the various types of jumps you'll be seeing while watching Figure Skating at the Winter Olympics!! Here's some behind the scenes! #Salchow #Toeloop #Loop #Flip #Lutz #Axel @WSJ ⛸

Can't wait to see the videos!

Jason is going to be such a good teacher one day:

I love that he's taken his disappointment at not making the Olympic team and turned it into an opportunity to excite and inspire others!

 

[Mad for Skating]

OMG SERIOUSLY HE IS SUNSHINE FORMED INTO A PERSON. I would even dare to try skating if he would teach me lol

Jason posted a youtube vlog about Four Continents:

(Cuteness alert ... adorableness between Jason / Grant and Jason / Max)

Absolutely the cutest!!! Love these USA guys, they're all so nice and sportsmanlike. Need more of this in sport.

Jason breaks down Figure Skating's Six jumps for the Wall Street Journal

The video will play without a subscription.

In a rare show of not being 100% happy about life, Jason tweeted his regret yesterday about not being in the room where it's happening (along with, of course, support for the team):

I really miss him.

I think Jason woulda placed 6th here bumping Patrick to 7th.

 

[Mrs. P]

If Jason skated perfectly, a la 2017 Worlds, sure. I never like to play that game though cause who knows how he would have reacted in that rink.

Jason does maintain a PCS gap over the U.S. men's field. I had thought that perhaps Adam would get a bit of a PCS bump at the Olympics, but it was virtually the same from GPF. It would have been interesting to see what kind of PCS Jason would have received if he was here.

I actually like the tweet -- it shows that Jason is human (and he does it with a bit of humor, which I appreciate). We are all Burr at one point.

So the Skating Lesson "reported" that Jason had left Kori Ade???

It seems that judges are giving the preference point-wise to anyone who can land a quad or more.
I wonder if Rippon will retire now so Jason will get to go to Worlds.

I saw Dave's tweet, but he didn't have an article or any links to back this up.

No of course not...it's his "sources"

Adam is definitely not going to worlds. He’s going to ride this Olympic fame wave (as he should) for as long as possible when he gets home.

I would agree that Adam should get while the getting is good and reap the rewards of his hard work and honesty (while of course giving Jason the chance to go to Worlds), win-win

A poster on GS who claims to be an elite skater and who claims to know Adam also claims otherwise. I hope you have better sources

 

[katmari]

It's been posted in other threads but not in Jason's fan thread -- It's official, Jason will be going to Worlds instead of Adam!

I'm glad we get to see Jason again to finish out the season!



I hope someone tells Lin-Manuel Miranda. His tweet after Jason's SP at Nationals was so special:

https://twitter.com/Lin_Manuel/statu...40517120335874

I gasped at the first leap, perfectly timed with the musical cutout. By the end I was sobbing. GO GET 'EM @jasonbskates

 

[el henry]

Not completely unexpected, but so happy to see Jason again.

And thanks for the reminder on how much Lin-Manuel loved his program

 

[MIsty Blades/Skate Mom]

I'm excited to see Jason at Worlds.

 

[muffinplus]

That's great news... wanted to see Adam's FS, but really wanted to see Jason's FS as well

Not really sure, but since this is a Jason cheer thread, we might, or might not, be the best source of info on Adam

Just glad we get to see Jason skate again

Dont read into things or assume. I actually wanted Jason on the Oly Team.

Was just asking why Adam wasnt going to Worlds. Usually medalists opt out.

ANL doesn't go into cheer threads to bash the cheered subject.
