I triple that. I loved Matt's skating.

I use to love Phillippe's skating, he was innovative. When he turned pro, he turned me off. The program that did me in was George of the Jungle, skating in speedos put the clencher on it for me. I was turned off because I think it showed a lack of respect for the sport, just my opinion.
