@Hyena, if you don't feel like you need more information than you already have, that's great. But everyone is different, and in my opinion, it's perfectly fine for others to want more. Quite honestly, since Jason's injury, there's been far less news about him overall, and for various reasons, a lot of formerly regular posters have stopped posting as frequently. As a result, we don't have as many interesting, substantive conversations these days. I've noticed that no matter what is posted - whether it's the sun valley video or the dumb hairstyle pictures I just posted - comments die off pretty quickly. So we're reduced to comments about the lack of information - which clearly annoy some people - or the kind of generic "I love Jason" or "I can't wait for Glacier Falls" comments that are really hard to respond to unless you add, "me, too." It would help to stimulate satisfying conversation if there was some news out there or if people brought some interesting questions or ideas to the thread. Hopefully news about Glacier Falls and Senior B assignments will soon fill the void.
As to whether or not there's been a change in Jason's posting: yeah, there has been. It's quite easy to see on Instagram. After his injury he began posting less, but he still documented events like returning to training and heading to Ice Chips and TCC. He gave an interview at TCC with Mrs P where he talked about going on vacation and competing in summer competitions like Broadmoor. Ice Network featured him in a couple of "come back" articles. He posted a great clip that showed him nailing a 3A-1L-3F in late May and announced that it was his last training session before he took a 2 week vacation. He posted a ton of pix / comments during his vacation. But since his return, the content has been kinda empty. Information that he was training with FC surfaced in random Instagram comments in late June followed by a few Carly Gold off-ice pics showing Jason with Gracie, and was finally mentioned by TSL about 2 weeks later. As to TSL's comments being definitive, well, they've been known to be wrong before, although I'm not saying that is or is not the case here.
Finally, as to why Kori or Jason should bother to say anything after TSL's comments - and whether we "deserve" to get information about him - quite honestly, Jason is a public figure, albeit in a limited sphere. He's got 50k followers on Twitter and Instagram. Training is part of his professional life, not his personal life. If we "deserve" news about other topics of interest to us, I don't know why Jason's training should be an exception.
Frankly, I would be thrilled to discuss something substantive about Jason here - so if anyone has thoughts about his performance at Sun Valley, potential changes to his program content, etc: please, bring 'em on!

. You don't really see a whole lot of training videos from Gracie either. She use to post them all the time on YouTube and on Twitter under her own coach, but she doesn't really do that now -- maybe once in blue moon these days.
. Could we go from 7k to 0k?
