Totally enjoyed the video. But man does Jason seem to have alot of energy. Had to laugh when he was describing his ponytail routine. Saw a picture of him when he was a little boy and his hair is really curly. One of the many things I like about Jason's skating is he doesn't take half the rink to set up a jump. I've always felt that was so disruptive to a program.
I don't dislike Max. I think he's a class act but I feel like his style of skating just isn't my cuppa. I don't want to see jump fests and his choreography seems contrived and not natural for him. He's very athletic and not even a little bit graceful! But all things considered I thought he handled the results of Nationals in a very mature way even tho his heart was breaking. It's almost as if "the Elvis Stojko" style of skating is passe now. Max would have been a force to be reckoned with under the old judging system.
It's totally passé. And also without any real value. If brown can get 89 in Tes to Aaron's 93 and browns pcs is 93 to Aaron's 79 why do 2 quads and 2 triple axels when you can do one triple axel? We're Judges telling max to retire? Stop focusing so much on jumps and go to dance and ballet classes? Music appreciation courses? Why do quads at all? 4 points? Stop so much on jumps and do better spins and steps and pcs! Or just retire. Because you can't be stojko and be 6.0.
