Brilliant skate from MAX! Hope he makes it to the Olympics

I keep wondering why people don't go for Michael Crawford. But the version used for last POTO by Hochstein, gave me new appreciation for Butler.

Oh really? I thought that was a far better version than Butler? Butler sound like a truck driver in a pub.

Gorgeous program Han Yan. So soulful. His choreo that makes use of both the music and the silence makes me wonder if he was influenced by my beloved Dai Takahashi :luv17:

 

[valerieally]

Fingers crossed for you Karne. Your boy really proved here tonight he's become a complete package.

 

[Mrs. P]

That was a great skate from Max. I wonder how this will score compare to Vincent. It should get 175+ easily

 

[gravy]

Yey, Max! U dunnit boi.

Max Aaron

Slip a bit on the landing, so only a 4T+2T. Fine 4S, and 3Lo with foot down. Better timing in his footwork and spin entry, right to the music. Shaky landing on 4T. Fine 3A+2T, a bit early on the crashing note. Good 3F (I think). Completed 3Lz+1Lo+3S. Fine 2A and very fast scratch spin.

Like the music says, Aaron could "feel it" more. Didn't really get much POTO really. There's something about Tom Z's coaching where his skaters don't seem to focus on artistry. Either way, the best part of this performance is that he didn't pop any jumps and everything looks fully rotated.

Good job but when you are dressed like that & skate like you could be skating to any music, why pick POTO? hwell:

 

[karne]

YES! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*jumping up and down yelling*

This should be better than Zhou even with 5 rotated quads.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hooray Max!

I sure hope he gets to the Olympics this time! You can do it!

 

[Anni234]

Yay!

 

[Yatagarasu]

Great jump content and he skated that really well but not much apart from that.

Still, he's done what he wanted, gone clean and showed he wants that spot.

 

[Marin]

Someone check on Karne , is she still breathing?

 

[draqq]

Nice, Aaron did deserve first place so far after that skate.

 

[da96103]

YES! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*jumping up and down yelling*

I can hear you karne from all the way in Kuala Lumpur.

 

[Skatefan15]

yesss max!! I hope he makes the Olympics. I actually like both his costumes this year instead of having some hokey bright colored costume

 

[xeyra]

Come on Keiji, keep it together.

 

[bixby]

Well done for Max. Congrats!

 

[Lota]

Same thing what his last costume had to do with Lion King. Basically nothing.

:dumb: This may seem like a silly issue, but I dislike when skaters dress in an outfit that looks like something that they've just taken out of their closet. A costume is a part of presentation and for me at least it helps produce the image of a character they're trying to portray. Put in a little more effort.
