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

[Sylvia]

Just saw Hershey’s shared this on Insta today - Jason left a red heart and many people have posted supportive comments:

HERSHEY'S Chocolate on Instagram: "“The real win? Choosing happiness.” Behind every big moment is a support system that’s been there since day one. Success is sweet, but sharing it with family is the ultimate victory 🤎 #TeamUSA #Hershey"

I know this has to be a difficult time for Jason. It's very classy of him to post his support for Team U.S.A. today:

I'm glad that Jason can see the wisdom in this letter/post, he previously wrote:

Jason is on the streets of Milan, spreading love and pins for Valentine's Day. It's nice to see him having fun:

Jason just finished performing in Yuzuru Hanyu's "Notte Stellata" (held in Hanyu's home prefecture of Miyagi which was affected by the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake; this 4th edition took place in the town of Rifu) - his photos/clips:

Thanks for the heads up, @Firedancer - sharing this in Jason’s fan/supportive “safe space” here - he posted this message on X 2 days ago but not on his Instagram account:

Thanks for the heads up, @Firedancer - sharing this in Jason’s fan/supportive “safe space” here - he posted this message on X 2 days ago but not on his Instagram account:

He did post it on his Instagram, but it was in his stories and is gone now. Unfortunately, the majority of the time, Jason usually just posts in his IG stories instead of regular posts. He had so many interesting stories posts in the leadup to this season and up until Nationals, posting most days in his IG stories. I understand why he felt the need to take a break from that after Nationals. Maybe he'll return to that once SOI starts. For anyone who is on IG and a Jason fan, it's definitely worth following him.

Jason and Isabeau did a video recapping the preparation for SOI Japan:

Stars on Ice on Instagram: "Stars on Ice Japan is underway, and we’re taking you along for the ride!! The cast is here and ready to go—2 weeks, 9 shows… let’s go!! スターズ・オン・アイス ジャパンがいよいよ開幕しました！そして、その旅に皆さんも一緒に参加です！！キャストも勢ぞろいして準備万端——2週間で9公演…さあ、行こう！！ 🎌⛸

Jason himself has been posting a bunch of pics and vids from the camp on Instagram this week.

Jason didn't post much after Nationals. But, since SOI started, he's back to posting a lot.

On SOI's Instagram, you can probably still find the weekly SOI recaps that he and Isabeau did as well as their bloopers and the thank you post from SOI. There are also fan videos of the SOI practices floating around. Some of my favorites clips from the SOI practices are of Jason and Isabeau doing a dance slide and one with Jason doing the Golden choreo. (The Blade Angels made him an honorary member.) There are links to some of these in the SOI thread.

He's been posting pics and vids from the camps where he's been teaching since SOI as well as the fun he's been having at each location with his family.

He did not post any response when the GP assignments were announced, so I was wondering how sure he was about continuing. He did take part in yesterday's USFS post about Skate America, but I don't know how much to make of that.

So far, he hasn't posted anything about new programs and training, but it's a bit early for that given the types of schedules he's had in recent years.

Lucky I have nothing to do w/ the WNBA! I heard it was a $#!t show being a very bad "lay up drill!" The missed shots by these so called All-Stars were embarrassing! W/O the NBA pushing them along, they would've been disbanded yrs. ago! They're getting some notoriety w/ Caitlin Clark, but what do these women do? They abuse her, resentful that her name's the one heralding the league even though new to it! The legends of the game have long since retired & are forgotten! Today's stars aren't really stars of this lame league!

Jason was in Osaka last week, instructing at a camp for Japanese junior skaters.
Part of the training session was open to the public, provided they made a donation.

According to my friend who watched the practice, Jason helped Sena Takahashi, Taiga Nishino and Daiya Ebihara, among others.
He brought ice hockey pucks. The skaters put the puck on their heads and did various turns trying not to drop them — it's a balance training exercise. Jason demonstrated a beautiful example.
