2014 Skate America Men's FS 10/25

[Skater Boy]

Machida has enough hair for 3 people!
He did look exhausted at the end. --Almost like Yuzu.

I suspect he had a good blow out! It can make your hair look amazing!

 

[Skater Boy]

Did not look second tier out there.

in this group but he does not have the same magic of Hanyu, Chan, or Dai - at times reminds me of a xeroxed Dai.

 

[Skater Boy]

I know! Can't wait!

Better stock up on those hair products!

George Bush? Sure, I can see it. Something about the little laugh wrinkles around his eyes?

I think he looks alot like Amber Corwin (former US skater) and they could be brother and sister.

The largest margin of victory (men's) in Grand Prix history came at 2006 Cup of Russia, where Brian Joubert beat Johnny Weir by 41.55 pts.

Skater Boy, I couldn't agree more. Machida is one of the best we've got now, and has lots of great qualities, but he is not a skater for the ages. That's in part because he doesn't skate with his own take on the material and his artistry often feels forced or "pasted on." I also like your image of a xeroxed Dai very much. Today while watching his long my kids were pining for Dai. The choreography of Machida's programs often doesn't match the music very well- it's almost like he could be doing the same moves to a different but similar piece of classical music.

So another point in the Nam Nguyen height debate: Looking at the podium video -- he's taller than Jason! I believe Jason is 5'7", so Nam is at least 5'8".

Brenda Irving said on CBC today that Nam is 5'5, so who knows?

Blogger Morozombie has just updated an entry about SA men skate, and I am kind of surprised that I have the same thoughts with Morozombie about Tatsuki's LP:

Morozombie seems to have a mostly negative opinion about all the programs though.

So do I.

Anyways he loves Dai and V/M. He does have positive comments even towards PChan now and then.

In most cases I agree with him.

I'm fairly certain it's a she but I also find myself agreeing with her a lot of the times.

Haven't read the whole thing but I absolutely agree about Machida's LP.

I aso agree about Wagner's Tristan & Iseult for Brown. Y

 

[yyyskate]

Denis and Jeremy's ex is just ...... Watch Denis feels his ex program during ex practice somehow reminds me how Dai feels his ex music during last year SA ex practice. And Jeremy, when I watched his little hip-hop steps. I just wanna shout out loud.

Jason needs to junk the Sleepy Hollow look.
