Thanks! I wonder if the girl knew how fast it would spread across the web. The Japanese fans were already all over it just after it appeared.

Looking at the flip and lutz...are those supposed to be quads later on? Holy moly!

I am salivating to the point of slobber at the prospect of seeing this whole program.

There are only two early programs that I have glimpsed that really grab my attention so far. This is one of them.

This looks like such an enjoyable program to skate and to watch. There is such a cool vibe to it. I loved his sp last year and these snippets make this one look pretty good too. Thecseason cannot come soon enough.

Love the knee slides, the high energy, and the general vibe!

Yes, the vibe. It's cool and laid back. The vibe reminds me of Josh Farris "Give Me Love" program. Not the style... they're two very different skaters... but just the feeling of the music and the relaxed, easy posture. Or something. I'm babbling.

Thank you guys so much, I marked it yesterday, but cannot watch it right away, then it is gone. I was so sad when I checked that girl's instagram today again.
But thanks to Jackie and sheetz so much! but I still missed part 2. anyone has part 2? begging with starry eyes.
I just wanna say I like this SP soooo much, it is sooo unique, so Nathan! I like it even better than Vince's SP which I also like very much.
we always talk about Male skater's artistry, so we get lots of very artistic programs like Vince's, Joshua's, Jeff's, patrick etc, you get lyrical, you talk about lines, you get sweeping edges, you know what I mean.
but this SP of Nathan's is sooo unique yet it is also backed up by strong skating skill, yet in a completely different style, which is called NATHAN.
It is fresh and inspirational for me, I think Nathan's skating will inspired not only little girls to pick up skates but more importantly young boys too!

i love the shoulder movement in the stsq of this program, there is some element of hip hop into it. (comparing to Vince's SP, which he and team emphasized on modern dance influence)
Nathan is keeping an edge and at the same time did some isolated shoulder and upper body hip hop move.

:love: Totally love this! The laid-back feel of it with paradoxically high energy ... it's like I can feel the energy coiled in Nathan, then POW! it's released.

This program is SO Nathan, unique as he is. I can't wait to see it in full!

We have so much to look forward to this year! And I look forward to seeing Nathan with some great programs. Last year, it was a miracle that he was back on the ice - no matter what program he skated. This year, I know, will be a different story. :hap57:

I'm really wondering what his LP will be. Will it be more classical or more modern? Has he even had time to get one choreographed with his busy schedule? He only did this program with Shae Lynn 2 weeks ago and it's a testament to Nathan's talent that it looks so great already. But it's only a few weeks until Champs Camp and it was my impression that skaters were supposed to perform their programs there.

^^^I'm going to place my bet on classical. Nothing to go by for that - just a gut feeling. How this guy ever finds time to sleep is beyond me. But then I guess he's pretty much had a super busy schedule all his life with all the activities he has always been in, even as a little kid.

ETA -- I'm basing this on thinking that he will want a sharp contrast to the modern SP, so he can show his versatility.

I mean, of course I don't know for sure - but I'd assume he did his long program first since that's going to require more endurance training. I am curious to know who else he worked with. But my guess is also classical especially after now hearing what his short program likely is - I'm just crossing my fingers for no warhorses!

Just watched the videos and isn't this the music Kevin Aymoz used this past season? I really like the look of the program so far, I'm very excited to see it all put together, it seems like a really interesting and different style.
