ditto and i so love watching him skate!

First saw him in... 06 I believe... Total Paul Wylie vibe. Those spread eagles....gah!

They are linked in the forum description.

But but but that means having to open a new tab with the US Nationals forum or go back there (and then having to go back here!). Life is so hard. :(

Jonathan should have had even better component scores, IMO, to be in 69 - 71 range at the least. But it's still early yet.

You are adorable.

Bolero, though, is not adorable. Sorry, Wesley.

Considering how long he's been around and hasnt upped his tech I can see why they dont score him higher... Yes i know it shouldnt work that way logically but why hold him up when his tech is less than what most did in the 90s.

Don't understand the huge gap between Johnson and Brown.

Johnson must have had much lower levels or underrotated jumps or maybe an invalid element even.

The protocols shall reveal all!

Only 3 points between them on the PCS.

I am digging Weiss commentary.

A good debut for Mr. Warren, I'd say.

Getting closer to Adam, almost glad I can't watch it because I would just be a nervous wreck. I really want Adam to bring down the house.

Is that who that is?? I've been wondering--he's great!!

[Tonichelle]

I am digging Weiss commentary.

I think he does a great job!

[Ziggy]

OMG Michael Weiss is commentating.

OMG people say it's actually good.

I hope Sean Rabbitt can skate a clean program. He's such a fantastic performer.

For what he can do component-wise it wouldn't be "holding him up," on component scores. So it seems, if you can jump, having great musicality, presentation and charisma on the ice doesn't count for much. But that's the way it's tended to be, yes.
