When Jason did his opening pose, I knew the skate would be great. He did not appear nervous at all.

I have said this many times and I repeat, big jumps are fine, but they are given totally disproportionate points, making other elements pretty much insignificant - this is the major issue. Point distribution should be more balanced, OR set up separate competitions, one jump oriented, and another skating skills oriented--- sort of Alpine skiing, Downhill racers and Slalom specialists have two completely different skills. (although a few excel in both!)

Jason's performances this weekend were so special. he is a skater who has EVERYTHING but a quad, and to me that doesn't matter because of the outstanding and exceptional quality of everything else he does. his triples are some of the best i have ever seen- his posture, speed, air position and distance are the best in the business. his flexibility is rare for a male skater. his spins are fast, perfectly centered and beautifully positioned. his skating skills, artistry and ability to emote are the standard. he truly is such a very special and unique skater in a field where everyone else is trying to do the highest number of quads in a program. the true full package.

And let's hope Jason gets rewarded for this sublime piece of figure skating at Worlds.

Is there anyone who is heading to Montreal for WC in support of Jason???? I ask this because I had a banner made to bring to Nebelhorn before I found out he wouldn't be there. I would be really honoured if anyone can raise it for me in Montreal!
It is 140 (or maybe 150? can't remember precisely...) x 80. I will send it to you, but perhaps it is more convenient for someone who intends to drive over there, rather than flying, because the package is a bit bulky (long solid tube) - I had made it in a thick material - the last ones I made were too flimsy so I wanted to make sure this one wasn't going to be semi-transparent! (maybe a way to carefully fold it and make it more compact can be possible, though...)
Shame that I can't post the image here, but the basic concept is this with Jason Brown written in the Schindler's List logo and a silhouette of his spiraling image added on.
If anyone is interested, pleas PM me :

I'm going to be there. What are the rules for hanging banners. Our seats are first row but way up above the ice. If we can hang it in front of our seats. I might be able to do that. I'll check with my seatmates and also try to find out what is allowed. All the good seats were gone before the full event sale opened and this was the best we could do.

Brown, now 5-5, said he had grown 4 inches since the 2010 nationals.
...
But Lysacek's barely noticed 11th-place free skate at his first senior nationals was a far cry from the dazzling effort Sunday that earned Brown seventh in the free skate and rousing acclaim from the Greensboro Coliseum crowd.

"It was a dream come true to get the audience to stand,'' Brown said.

With his long hair tied in a ponytail that bounced off his neck as he flew around the rink, Brown had huge jumps, striking speed on his speeds and leg extension worthy of a ballet leading man.
...
With the problems caused by his growth, Brown and Ade, his coach of 11 years, decided to put off trying the triple axel for another season.

"In his first year as a senior, it was more important to show everyone he could skate,'' Ade said. "Jason has really proved he is a solid competitor.''

Brown goes on from here to the World Junior Championships, Feb. 28 to March 6 in South Korea. He likely will continue to compete on the Junior Grand Prix circuit for a season or two more.
