See, this exemplfiies perfectly why Jason is near at the top and is loved so dearly - more than many of his technically superior peers - even though he is quad-light in a quad world.
This is where I fault the language that has become common in describing figure skating. Somehow the word "technique" has been degraded to meaning "jumping."
I don't think so. I think that "figure skating technique" means something different altogether than whether you do a quad or not. What is "technical" about doing a quad? Technique, technique, technique, in every movement from beginning to end -- to me, that's what makes a performance sing.
When the ISU came out with the IJS in 2002, the abbreviation "TES" meant "Total Element Score." That is, the sum of the scores that you get for individual specified elements. Only later was this language confused into "Technical Element Score, as if, for instance, the program components SS an Tr are not "technical," as if Interpretation and Performance do not rely on technique.

Watching Jason skate brightens the day and calms the spirit. :thumbsup:
music editing reminds me of Joshua Farris SL (self choreoed)
One of the most soulful performance I have ever seen!!!
