Favorite Men Programs/Moves from last season 2014-15

[removof]

Obviously Jason Brown sp and lp!

 

[Alextim]

Javier SP and Denis Ten LP

 

[karne]

Joshua's masterpiece of a Schindler's List, with all its beauty, emotion and musicality...ah...magic. He would weave a spell every time he was on the ice.

But for the best move, I can't go past that crazy good 4S-3T that Max Aaron tossed up at the start of his Nationals LP. Big, powerful, totally in control, no doubts over the technique or rotation and never a doubt that he'd land it.

Or perhaps the insane upside down spin from Joshua - gorgeous.

 

[lyverbird1]

I loved many of the theatrical nuances in Javier's LP. I like that he was able to combine technical skill with musicality and fun.

 

[HanDomi]

1. Hanyu SP

2. Ten SP

 

[Interspectator]

I see the usual suspects are well covered. So, here are some other programs I liked so much last season.

-That ONE time Kozuka did well on his LP last season and wasn't it beautiful!!

Brezina SP

Vornov LP -I like this for being the exact opposite of Kozuka's program.

Tatsuki Machida FS: Symphony no 9 for the amazing and extremely difficult choreography and layout and for managing to perform it and bring it to life even when he was falling 3 times. My favorite "move" of the program is the spread-eagle into besti squat into arabesque spiral during the climatic part of the program and also the 3Lz seconds away from the end.

Takahiko Kozuka FS: Io Ci Saro - a masterful program in which Kozuka's subtle musicality as well as edges and use of spread eagles go hand in hand with Andrea Bocelli's vocals and create what is possibly the most breathtaking program of his career.

Denis Ten FS: Ambush From Ten Sides / Vocussion - very good choreography (although I thought the first half of the program could have been better) and amazing footwork. The sit spin at the end of the program went extremely well with the music.

Joshua Farris SP: Give Me Love - it was like a breath of fresh air, he had great choreography as well as IN/PE. And his 3A is amazing.

Yuzuru Hanyu SP: Ballade no 1 - excellent choreography in its original presentation, just good when they switched the layout around due to unfortunate circumstances. It showed Hanyu's vastly improved skating skills, posture and interpretation. Best part of the program: the step sequence, of course.

 

[Cherryy]

Definitely Javi's SP! It was also full of cool moves, like these little hops he did on the toepick and his waist-shaking/dancing or the hole part from the steps preceding the 3A that went on immediately to the sit spin.

Another one is Jason's long. In this case it's the part before the 3Lz where he's shooting an arrow, the gorgeous 3Lz with one hand over his hand, russian split, 3-turns with one knee on the ice and butterfly entry to the spin which also has an original exit with this little jump.

 

[invisiblespiral]

I don't have moves, but I love Farris' programs, Hanyu's SP, D10's FS, and Machida's programs...

 

[mrrice]

The more I think about it, I can honestly say that 2014/2015 was a great year for the Men. I really enjoyed so many programs last year and after I saw Misha Ge, I had a new skater to follow. That doesn't happen often. IMO This is a very exciting time in skating and I hope every skater is able to have at least one performance they're really proud of.

[el henry]

OK, gotta say it (cause I'll be the only one): the "sprinkler" and I am not being sarcastic. All of Juke, my second go-to program of Jason's after Riverdance.

And because I do occasionally watch men other than Jason (that *is* sarcastic) Adam's LP. Beautiful, without the quad lutz! And Misha, particularly his EX, because I am just so darn impressed how fast he put it together, and so glad that men's "other" entertainer had a breakout year

 

[HanDomi]

to the moves I would like to add...... Hanyu's quad salchow https://youtu.be/0Zi4HoVXAL8?t=68 Javier has great quad salchow but for me visually this one looks the best

 

[AsadaFanBoy]

Yes. Yuzuru Hanyu is soooo...mmm! So good.


Loved Jason's spin where he grabs the blade and lifts his foot high and to the side.

Misha Ge step.

Josh Farris - spins.

 

[mrrice]

Speaking of Misha Ge. I would love to see him do an exhibition to Bohemian Rhapsody. I'd actually like to see someone do a free skate to it. I bet plushy, Patrick Chan or, Joshua Farris could pull it off. Maybe that guy from Alaska who moved to Canada could pull it off. What is name.....He did the hulk LP a while ago. Maybe Richard Dornbush. Keegan Messing.....That's his name.
