A little more strength in his quads would give him the height he needs to fully rotate those jumps. Very entertaining program. So happy to see the loose bootstrap did not cause a problem.

Anyone else in mortal terror at that loose strap?

Really enjoy Darian's charismatic and musical performance style. Hi Darian's mom if you are reading this. Your son is lovely.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I love it that the South Korean audience has no barrier to appreciating Darian. Some things are universal, no matter where you’re from

 

[Weathergal]

I love Darian's joy, his skating, and his hair!

Nationality does not stop you from recognizing fun

Love Darian's celebration in K&C.

He has an amazing taste in music with Backstreet Boys and then X Ambassadors. I love "Unsteady" as a song though I'm not sure it works that great for a skating program... but love him bringing new styles to figure skating! What a great personality. Hope we see more of him!

This has been a great start! I attended 4CC back in 2012 in Colorado Springs and I remember half the men looked like they needed oxygen after their free program. Here we have big hair, big nails, and no one looks like they're about to die. I wish I could say any of those three things about myself.

 

[labgoat]

Please Camden, not like yesterday... also Donovan por favor

alas Camden has a back injury, so we can only hope

 

[Arigato]

Like that black on Camden.
