Max was on! Go quad-triple

 

[Arriba627]

Even Becky is jumping! Way to go Max!

Redemption skate for Max!

 

[Seren]

Good for Max. It's nice to see him skate a program where he looks happy at the end.

I may never like his skating but I really like him.

 

[aname]

Missed half of the program (before I switched to qq) but the beginning and ending were strong and TES is high so congrats Max!

Good Job Max. I saw his graduation pictures on twitter. Max is a well rounded guy.

Here's the other one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlRkU92lhtU

Thank goodness for the comments on YouTube!

 

[chopinskate]

Wait. You think a STRAIGHT guy came up with that?

On behalf of all straight men everywhere, let me clear this up:

We reject any and all blame for Uno's outfit.

It was more of a dare, methinks.

 

[KwanIsALegend]

I wish we had 5 Olympic spots.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Yaaaaaay Max! Redemption skate!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Redemption skate for Max. I'm thrilled for him.You know inside that jock body lies the soul of a theater queen. Which is a big compliment. Good for him!

 

[da96103]

Ack - Stream out! Is the other YouTube one back, by chance? I've lost that link.

Stream is back!

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Great skates from the Americans!

 

[Kara]

Shoma, you can't be serious with that costume and hair. He's going to get enough shade from the citizens of Korea to hide the sun if he wears that on Olympic ice.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Well, judging by his TES and his coach's reaction, Max must have had a good skate. That's great, especially after his rough nationals.

So easily naturally expressive! This guy has always had that in him. The obsession with him not being artistic enough totally messed him up mentally, I think. His humanity, elegance and raw talent have always shone through. So beautiful! Max!!!!!

He beams a bright, broad smile. The 92 TES suggests he nailed everything.

And I missed it. *crying*

We all know Max isn't a PcS master but some of these jumps were so nice. Good for him!
