2016 US Nationals Senior Men SP

Clearly the bad juju from the ladies is gone...

It's always one or the other. I thought it was a myth when I first joined FS fandom, but I hath seen the truth with mine own eyes

Shhhhh! Don't jinx it

Forget it, nothing makes butt spins elegant!

The *only* problem with Ross' program is that goldarned two revs? butt spin. But I can overlook it:hap93:

 

[badknees]

Oh man, now I'm really worried about Jason petitioning. As much as I love Jason, what if Minor does the same great job in the long. They just can't boot someone off like that, who finally did it and deserves to go.

I loved that by Ross, not just because of his skating but because he just exuded joy from start to finish.

 

[Bumdid]

Well, time to watch the Canadian Nationals videos during Zamboni time.

What is 2 revs?

Are there videos available??

 

[cheerknithanson]

That skate by Ross....well deserved of the lead and of that amount of points! Perfect flow, everything! I'm glad I got to see him skate at Skate America this year!

What about the Chartrand spin?

ETA we don't even know if Jason will be in shape to petition for worlds. Much as I love Jason - and I do - if Ross skates a brilliant FS and is named to the team, more power to him. Jason needs to heal first.

How did I quote myself instead of edit? Dumb!

I think el henry used the shorthand for "revolutions", in the spin.

And Jason really seems to be a gracious young man. I'm guessing that after he's been out for this many months he 1) won't be healed in time to be ready to go and 2) he's not going to petition and knock someone off the team just to stroke his own ego. That really doesn't seem like a Jason thing to do.

Sasha still looking good! :luv17:

My own shorthand, sorry, since it's only part of the spin I call it two revs for two revolutions. I am not at all adept technically, so I could be counting completely wrong...

I hope some uploads this fast so I can download it fast. Billy Joel's people have taken the music off of all the YouTube vids except one where some Russian lady talks nonstop and you can't hear it amnyway

 

[SashaJuliaSpins]

They are taking about my Sasha! I missed her!

 

[Icey]

Oh, that dress!!!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Shhhhh! Don't jinx it

Oops! :shock2:

On a happier note, Sasha looks great.
