Kevin Reynolds

I'm so glad Kevin's recovered, but the jumps still look perilous. I hope he paces himself and not rush into his quads - re-injuring himself...

I will always remember Kevin as the first with a 6 quad layout though he landed 5.:agree:

Well, Kevin was the first to land 2 quads in the SP, so he's safely in the history books.

Yes, that's why his name is brought up whenever Boyang Jin's quads are mentioned even though Kevin is away from int. competitions.

And that's one record that will never be broken: The FIRST to do a 2-quad SP. He'll always have that title no matter what.

Yes, he can be proud of the boundaries he pushed for the jumps as a pioneer. It was awe-inspiring how he pushed his jumps back then, I won't forget that! I think Jin was inspired by Kevin, he skated to the same SP music as Kevin if I recall correctly, Chambermaid Swing. :yes:

I like Kevin's artistry too, he cut a great figure on ice, it's not only those huge quads but an intuitive sense of rhythm and musicality, a whole package. Can't wait to see him compete again, but slowly...the injuries kept him away, I'd feel nervous if he isn't fully recovered before he tackles the big ones again.

I always think of Kevin when I hear Chambermaid Swing - I really loved that program of his.

Same here! In fact, like 2 1/2 weeks ago, when I went to Panera for lunch with a family friend and her 11 year-old daughter, I heard it and had a mini-freak out lol!

Well, tomorrow's the day! Let's all hope Kevin does very well!

No, the main character in the anime, Cowboy Bebop O.S.T to which Kevin performs. Spike Spiegel.

Oh lol. Not familiar with the movie at all except for that the music he's skating to is from it.
