No 3A attempt for Brown. Bright future in Ice Dance.

How do you know he has a "bright future in ice dance" btw?

[dorispulaski]

Who knows what future any 16 year old has? He is eligible for juniors for another couple years.

I do note that his 2 axel looks significantly better than it has. He may get that 3A yet.

[Rachmaninoff]

Just watched the YouTube vids...

I really liked that Jason Brown. This is the first time I've seen him skate (didn't watch the regular JGP events). Very smooth, interesting and enjoyable style. I like his costume and little ponytail too.

I...think it was a joke.

Does he not have one in his free either? His double looked quite high and easy, I would have guessed he's at least been landing triples in practice.

[KKonas]

Brown reminds me a little of Scott Hamilton. Fun to watch. He's way too short for ice dance. Josh Farris's spins are wonderful. Hope these two can finish atop the podium.

Unfortunately, it's either clean + fall or << or < + 2footed

[burntBREAD]

All of Hino's jumps are tilted in a very precarious manner.

[gmyers]

It was a joke- the height was not really relevent. 3A's are in SP's and LP's. It'd be odd to save a 3A for LP when they are needed in both SPs and LPs. He was the only one not to try a 3A in his SP. The not trying of the jump is the most negative for his career in singles if he wants to have one and skate in seniors. I don't know what his career plans are and if he wants to continue after Jr.

[dorispulaski]

He's like every skater at 16. He wants to go to the Olympics. So he'll keep trying to learn the 3A.
