Jason Brown

My take on the injury is that Jason lost some training time and may not have been 100% at Champs Camp, but he didn't need to be. Being cautious there makes a lot of sense. Clearly he is able to jump and is doing triples, because we saw them. So whatever TSL says doesn't really matter. As was pointed out, he's not scheduled for any early events at this point. So that comment makes no sense. I think they might be fishing for comments from Jason and he's ignoring them, which he is wise to do. Jason doesn't hide injuries or anything else. He just doesn't parade them on social media. If he's asked, he answers. As far as I'm concerned, unless it comes from Jason or Tracy or Brian, it's speculation.
 
Why are you so invested in defending this cretin? He literally just spent the last couple of weeks trying to convince you and all his sycophants that Jason's season was ruined and that he was hiding a serious injury and wasn't ready for the season, and you're somehow not frickin mad about that? Especially when the proof is now right in front of your eyes that he was lying, exactly like he's done before?

Hi Karne - I’m actually not at all invested in defending Dave, but since this is way OT for the thread, why don’t we just leave it here. You’re welcome to PM me if you want to discuss further.
 
Glad to see he’s back to Toronto - also jumping off some of the positive comments we HAVE had - I’m excited to hear the new Schindler’s List cut and programme which is apparently even more beautiful than the first! I wonder if it’s the same as the changes they made before the ‘20 Worlds got cancelled or even newer adjustments? I gotta say that seeing some of that footage of Jason has me itching for more!!
 
So glad that there are lots of new posts on this fan fest. We can't always agree, but we all agree that Jason is GREAT! And we're all excited to see what the season brings. And we all hope that Jason makes the Olympic team in 2022. And I hope that I get to see him do it in Nashville. It's been fun checking this fan fest lately! Thanks to all of you!
 
Okay so I listened to the latest TSL. With respect to Champs Camp, it seems like their observations-which by the way aren’t limited to Jason by a long shot 😈-seem to have been based on Live Barn footage. If you recall, that’s that blurry rink video. How seriously can you take that? How can you tell the quality of someone’s jumps based on that? Also, it sounds like at least some of what they saw were practices. And we all know how much Jason marks in practice. What struck me was how contradictory their speculation was. If you accept Dave’s contention that Jason was injured (I had to laugh that early on in the episode he called it a broken ankle, not a broken foot 😂) then it makes perfect sense that he wouldn’t be jumping full out, especially during practices. But knowing that, and knowing that TCC gradually adds triples to the program - which they actually mention in the episode- they still somehow find not seeing Jason jumping full out problematic - it doesn’t look good or something. So silly. Among other things, Jenny says in one breath that she doesn’t think it will take Jason long to get back to full steam, and pretty much right after that they start questioning whether he should withdraw from the GP to save his competitive confidence. Or something. Anyway, I find this stuff somewhat amusing, but I really can’t take it seriously. Based on what we saw from Sun Valley, IMO, Jason’s going to be just fine. 😊
 
So in other words, it's Emmanuel Savary all over again.

Can't wait to see Jason on the GP and the new more beautiful Schindler's List. I am sure he will make me cry from its sheer gorgeousness. And I am sure he will have a point to prove.
 
I would love to see a video from the show too. Can't Stop the Feeling, good times. :)

This fan took photos during the show (none that show Jason in mid-jump) Reading her other tweets, she volunteers for Sun Valley (ETA: read more carefully, works for Sun Valley, not as a skater)(y)

Well, since the Fan Fest is the safe space where we unironically love on Jason.❤️

For the most part I think we fans love the PFT as a comp where Jason can be Jason, no quotes on artistic necessary. ;)

and I for one hope that Jason adds a spiral every time he steps on ice, even if he’s just crossing the rink to end his session. The combination of athleticism and artistry involved in that move is stunning, and I will always love it. :)
No, it just means that I was right, and now we have proof :) We can return to everyone else's scheduled disagreeing with skatesocs program now ;)
 
Well, he’s revealed the new costumes:

I like the SP costume a lot. Not so sure about the FS one, trying to figure out why. I think it’s because he’s long waisted, and the FS V-neck and multiple colors emphasize that and break up the line a bit while the higher neckline and single color in the SP costume and many of his more recent SP costumes minimize it. Actually, the FS top reminds me a tiny bit of a more restrained take on the S&G costume and maybe even a little of the red FS costume he wore at 2018 Nats. It’s not at all terrible, and I get it’s probably kind of an abstract representation of despair, passion etc but I think he’s capable of expressing that through his skating.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for those links!
Hmm. I don’t really like either. The SP costume is the best of the 2… but somehow the front reminds me of an old argyle or plaid sweater (I know - the patterns aren’t even the same). I do like the fit - simikar to his last 3 SP costumes - but I much preferred all 3 of them.

I was so glad he was changing his SL costume because I didn’t really like the gray costume. It was an appropriate subdued outfit, but I didn’t think it was well fitted and sometimes seemed you could see him sweat through it. That said - I like this one even less. The pants fit better, but really not a fan of the top (neckline, colors).

still love Jason and can’t wait to see his programs .. but the new costumes don’t appeal to me. But if Jason likes them …. 👍

does anyone know if this is the same costume designer he’s been using recently?

Yeah, same designer. I agree with you about SP costume- preferred last couple of SP costumes but this is fine.

I like the old SL costume, but what really matters is if he likes the new one. And maybe it will look amazing when he moves.

I love them! I liked the Sinnerman costume a lot, but I think this is very appropriate. The SL costume is phenomenal! So much more evocative than the original.
 
Well, Jason is really doing the model's poses there, isn't he?

The SP costume looks a lot like the "Can't Go on Without You" to me: black, zippers, mesh. More mesh this time. I think it will go well with Sinnerman, and it does highlight his lines. Not a huge fan of mesh, gotta say. ;)

I'm trying hard to like the SL costume, but the fire is just distracting me. Does anyone else feel that way? I guess we really need to see it "in action". I liked the original gray color, but the design did cut off Jason in the middle and the fabric was a little loosey goosey for Jason's sleekness.

But as everyone else has said, if Jason's happy, I'm happy :)
 
I LOVED his old Sinnerman outfit, but I also love this new SP too (as do Karen Chen, Amber Glenn and Lewis Gibson apparently who’ve all commented 😍🤩 under it).

I do think I quite like the new schindler’s list one too, I’m not good with change but I hated that sparkly belt thing he used to have on the old one AND it looks like the pants are skinnier because they were quite baggy on the old one which covered up some of his beautiful lines.

I’m enjoying how much media we’re getting from Jason in prep for this new season!!
 
Uhm... Am I the only one who dislikes his new costumes? :confused: I think the FS costume is slightly better than the SP one but not that much.

Sinnerman 1.0 was the PERFECT costume for that program in my opinion: total black with some strategic see-trough, very elegant, mature and sensual. :love2: You should look at the costume and immediately connect to the the program. Sinnerman 2.0...... no. It's a big, big NO for me. Plus, he really doesn't need to become the caricature of a manga character during the Olympic season. I hope he will go back to Sinnerman 1.0 as soon as possible.

The FS costume is a bit better because I hated how he looked like in those shiny baggy gray pants two years ago. He seemed heavy and the belt didn't help either. I loved the sparkle gems at the bottom of the shirt where the the color was almost black because it gave me the idea that even in the darkest time you can still find some light, some hope like Oscar Shildler who risked his life to help innocents. This new FS seems to go in a more abstract direction which I don't particularly like. I think the contrast between the white and the dark gray/black stripes is too sharp (not to mention the yellow/orange/red combo on the left side, close to the heart). On the other hand, I like how the costume is more fitting to his body so you can really appreciate his lines.

At the end of the day we have to wait and see. Let's hope for the best for the upcoming season. :cheer::cheer::cheer:
 
SP costume: very yes!

FS costume:....not so much. I prefer subtlety for Schindler's, so I liked the plain soft grey (though I was open to style alterations).
