Jason Brown

(I am at WTT)
Jason designed and prepared the T-shirts that the US team wears for WTT (see picture below) literally in a few weeks after he found out he was doing WTT and will be a team captain.

Well, I hate to admit this but I loved Jason's Tarzan for the first time. I don't know what was different about it but I was fascinated. Even with the woman yowling at the beginning. I'm so proud of him. Again he was doubted by some and again he delivered.
He skated it well with his heart and soul! That's why you liked it and why the judges (most of them) responded. This time he sold it! Completely!
 
Bookseller - from your typing fingers to God's ears! I don't know what figure skating will be like when Jason finally retires but I'm not looking forward to it. He gives me hope that the sport will not just be about jumps and tricks. I honestly think he could skate to a musical version of the dictionary and make it beautiful.

He skated it beautifully! I have always liked it - or seen potential in it, I guess. The choreography is SO intricate and beautiful.
 
While I am reading and of course agreeing with all the well deserved praise of Jason, I need to vent a little to fellow fans.

The exhibition. Electronica/techno "Hit the Road Jack"? Ray Charles deserves better:mad:

Can't listen, need to mute:frown:
 
El - have to agree with you on this one. Jason has really never had an exhibition that I liked -honestly. He usually does something hip hop or fast and wild. I think it's because he likes to dance. I would prefer something in the Frank Sinatra realm or Michael Buble. I usually find his exhibition music grating.

Every time that he goes to a competition and skates like that and does it his way, he shows that just jumping doesn't make a skater a great skater, or a skate a great skate. It's how well you do what you do best that makes a great skate and a great skater. He's still the ankle biter and nipping at their heels and they are having to attempt to nip at his. He shows them that there is more work to do. Jason brought me into skating fandom from an every four year Olympic watcher, who had decided that none of the men after John Curry were worth watching. Then I saw Jason do Riverdance. He set a new bar. He is just so special, as Tracy always reminds him! I hope that when he stops competing, he has a coaching career that teaches skaters how to actually skate with artistry, musicality and precision, and how to work on that. So many of them are clueless. And I hope he continues to do ice shows. But for now, I am grateful for this sequel to his career. It's exciting!

I couldn't have said it better.

Jason Brown skating to a musical version of the dictionary would be interesting because Jason could pull it off beautifully.

Well said, Bookseller.

It's not my favorite music, but it's a little different and he skated it really well at this exhibition. I enjoyed this performance. He's repurposed that costume, which is one that I like on him. I also think that this performance was particularly good at interpreting the music, so you might want to watch it with music on replay at least once and see what you think. His competition skates were both pretty lyrical, this season, so Jack is a nice contrast.
 
I don't mind dancey programs, Jason does them well. I loved his "Hammer Time" exhibition. I don't even mind if I don't know the music. I didn't know the second tune that the US team used for their improv gala skate, but it was catchy, had a melody, fine by me.

The electronica sounds just grate on my ears. And the fact that they are destroying Ray Charles' work with this cover, when they could just use the masterpiece original, well, makes it more grating,:(

But that's just me. :)
 
It's a different generation. I watched it again today, before it disappears and I still loved it. I didn't know, until today, that Team USA won the Team Spirit award. Now, with Jason Brown as Captain I assumed that they deserved it, but thought that they would give it to a team that hadn't won. But they gave Jason his due, he worked hard on that Team Spirit and deserved the award. And, of course, the team loves him and gave it their all!
 
(I am at WTT)
Jason designed and prepared the T-shirts that the US team wears for WTT (see picture below) literally in a few weeks after he found out he was doing WTT and will be a team captain.

Since many people asked for them, Jason decided to sell his merch on a limited basis (one week only). It seems you can ship them overseas (I did).

 
Well, this was way too easy to spend my money. They use "Shop", for which I already have an account for other merchants.

I truly appreciate that crewnecks as well as hoodies are on offer, although I just went for the T-shirt. Prices are equivalent to what I have paid for other specialty shirts/sweatshirts. Shipping is normal.

And I'm hoping it comes in time for the Fourth of July :biggrin: 🇺🇸
 
The opening segment of Ashley and Adam's podcast (after talking about Ashley catching the flu through Zoom, from Adam) was all about Jason this morning. Worth listening to. The discussion begins at 5 minutes and 30 seconds. The discussion about Jason is about 4 minutes.

I bought a T-shirt as well.
