[Kris135]

Finally Ma put it a good one. He acting like he wants to go to worlds! He may not get the nod for that but 4CC is clearly a possibility.

I actually thought the Nocturne and Love Story was not a bad mashup. so sue me. Then again, I actually remember the movie (and the book) Love Story. I didn't hate either one.

you'll hear from my lawyers

What. Is. That. Clair de Lunatique?

But Jimmy's skating was decent.

And into first Jimmy Ma

 

[auser]

Yaaay Jimmy Ma!

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Jimmy's put himself in the conversation for a post-Nationals competition!

See Yaro
You can learn from someone like Jimmy. Instead of a 2A and two 2Ts as your second jumps in the combo (never mind forgetting a jump); this is how you maximize your points potential.

Jimmy… 4T 3T and a eu into 3S (well deserved lead applause )

Nice step sequence from Jimmy Ma!

 

[skatedreamer]

Something tells me that this post isn't going to be popular but...

Good grief, did Johnny just say that Jimmy is a trained pianist? That makes the Clair de Lune mashup even more heinous.

Again, a wonderful skater who needs better music. Or at least better versions of his music.

 

[Horsefeathers]

Turn down for what?

Loved that musical arrangement, even with the weird bit at the end. It gave him a chance to emote his step sequence ala Nathan Chen.

 

[EdgeCall]

Crunch time.

 

[yelyoh]

I think Jimmy's score is going to hold up for a bit. Where will he wind up?

 

[moonvine]

Jimmy Ma is just the best. @moonvine you have excellent taste.

Unfortunately I died. Before I died I screamed “I love you Jimmy,” and screamed after he skated until I couldn’t scream any more. Then I died.

 

[yelyoh]

And stomach acid time. Men's FS much more fun than the Women's.

 

[GGFan]

Yes Johnny Weir, Nathan landed 6 quads in a free before the rules changed.

 

[msteach3]

Sam Mindra. No ultra-c elements. But, what a cute guy he is?
Also, he does have some artistry. I liked him.

He's got a triple axel, just not consistent yet. He played it safe here.

Are we actually hearing Whoomp There It Is! during a warmup or is this a hallucination brought on by watching too many videos about one hit wonders

 

[elektra blue]

Tomoki looks tired already

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

Are we actually hearing Whoomp There It Is! during a warmup

This should be in a mashup mix for Jimmy's SP next season.

Ok. Time for my three Russian rooted American men to shine (Ilia, Maxim and Andrew); good luck!

Good luck to Jason. But, he doesn’t need it that much. He can pop jumps and get a 50 TES with a 95 PCS and that will still be enough to top Jimmy. Sometimes, artistry is worth as much as quads
