everyone's favorite curl.

I love the paper crafts of Nathan... those crispy cuts really captured the essence of Nathan's moves.

 

[hhh]

In the 4T clip, love his head gesture afterwards, he’s like “meh this is a walk in the park”! His haircut is LIT! Boy, I’m loving the second pic of Ashley and he, they definitely took it up a notch and I’m thoroughly impressed by how quickly he found the key to unleash what I felt was missing; Ashley knows how we feel now haha

What would we do without these skaters instastories, so grateful they know what we need and want lol

 

[hhh]

This hairstyle is just perfect, curls are curly and light in a lazy flair while the clean side shave accentuates his feature, and boom his hotness explodes like a dynamite!

A nice one and he’s charming people of all ages and genders, there’s no stopping

Everyone is so amazed by his new haircut but "new" is just forgotten "old"!

He had the same (shaved temples, curls on the top) haircut during his junior years: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/86/d5/9c/86d59c7e481c6b96375547fe63ecf926.png

And in his first senior season: https://www.teamusa.org/-/media/Tea...hash=38AA12994E92515C1CF29F5A8926B5225F947886

Maybe it's a bit grown here but I'm sure I saw such haircut before!

Yeah, it's not really a new haircut. The curls aren't even in fully yet. He must water them some more (as hhh says lol). It's just getting back to how it was before the dreaded haircut. And Le Corsaire National's hair is best hair.

Fantastic! A new pair of ice dancers in town haha, Nathan always surprises us with his massive talent. He can totally pull this thing off IF he wants to.

This has certainly come a long way for both of them:

how do you get into a SOI warmup?

I think they allow groups in for that.

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

how do you get into a SOI warmup?

Skating clubs pay to have their kids skate in the intermission group performance of local kids, they get in because that's when they practice it (since it's composed of different local clubs).

Media and then the skaters family/close friends. That's all.

Another show, another perfect 4T.....

Another show, another perfect 4T.....

those show quads shorten my life-span!
isn't it wonderful that Nathan has recovered so well from 2016 nationals, while some of us remain irrevocably scarred? :sad21:

but i do like this video--the capture of the beginning of nathan's program, at least. wish it were a video of his entire program

Thank you (and everyone here) for finding and sharing SOI videos. The Linda Fleck shape of you video had good lighting and darn near professional quality. I would have been happy to see any video, but videos that are horizontal (and not vertical) videos, have good lighting, or follow Nathan in group numbers are especially appreciated.

 

[skfan]

Which linda fleck shape of you video? Hard to keep up

from before the hair cut, from last week, so don't expect too many sparks between nathan and ashley

 

[sheetz]

The 4th video clip here is of Nathan and Ashley. I think he looks more comfortable and less stiff.

[skfan]

yes a definite improvement from last week - both Nathan and Ashley

he just looks so

improvement from last week, yes. not sure it's improved from providence performance, though. need more footage to draw firm conclusion

he looks good. that freeze-frame is...


thank you sheetz for the links and vids, thank you everyone for enlightening discussion.

yes, the haircut is not new, but it can't do everything by itself. in 2015-16 season that same haircut didn't have today's impact

Video of Nathan in the finale. I love the way he combines upper and lower body movements together so naturally.
