Really enjoying Tomoki, shame about the pop. Great flexibility, lots fun moments throughout the program. Deserves higher in SS, honestly

I wandered off and got in a fight with someone on the main board.

Loved the choreo, shame a few other things weren't there today.

Holy crap, that was step sequence 5

C'mon Nate, the world is waiting for you!

I really like this program for Tomoki, even though he had the jump issue today. I hope he keeps it and really polishes it for next season.

I'm extra nervous for Camden now

Costly pop from Hiwatashi. He has one of those programs that another skater would do wonders with. Not him, though. There were some great elements in there, but something’s always off.

Yay! Nathan next! Tomoki 75.51, 6th

 

[Dogo]

Tomoki's high kicks are way way way impressive that other skaters. Love them. So sad for his quad pop, ugh!!

 

[moonvine]

Ouch!

 

[kappa_1]

"vintage"? doesn't that mean 'old'? The shade of it all! LOL

In context I would interpret it more as "classic", like skaters from a bygone era with good skating skills but a more straightforward style A la Todd Eldridge, et al.

 

[CellarDweller]

Go Nathan!!

 

[elektra blue]

he can bounce back tomorrow

 

[sworddance21]

I like Nathan's new shirt!

 

[snowflake]

GO Nathan!

 

[CellarDweller]

So odd not to hear applause when Nathan jumps!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Olè Nathan!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

No color today, Nathan? Aw...
