Does anybody else just keep staring at that opening pose?Late to the party, but I wanted to put off watching any of the PFT until I could watch all of it. Jason's skate is so much more beautiful and powerful than I imagined, even after reading the comments. I love everything about it, though maybe not the distracting background so much. The music works great for this type of performance as does the flowing hair. He seems 100% into the program, like it's a part of him, and like he's been skating it for years. It's perfect for this type of artistic competition. Congrats to Jason and to Rohene. Just beautiful!
Yes! It's fantastic. And the second pose is phenomenal also. The hair looks good. Natural and suitable and the black outfit is perfect! He just looks GREAT!

Jason's longer hair reminded me of Matt Savoie.

:agree: Btw I loved Matt! What was it that Dick Button used to say about him? Something like, "My kind of skater" because he had the beautiful lines and decent jumps.
The skating and outfit reminded me of John Curry - wonderful if Jason could follow in his footsteps to Olympic Gold.

That would be fabulous! John Curry was my favorite skater of all time, until I saw Jason.

Seems like Jason's Free Skate will be choreographed by David Wilson again! 
I'm excited to see what type of program they come up with this time!

And that Jason and David are masking up, with Jason in support of Karen and Jeffrey Chen's "Wear a Mask" campaign. I'm so glad that Jason was able to work with both his choreographers in person this year.

Agreed! I think they'll be focusing more on making the quads that he wants to hit more consistent and less of a monumental challenge this year. Maybe this will be the year of the tango! Jason keeps saying that he wants to do a tango. If the SP is melancholic, his FS will probably be upbeat. Let's hope there will be some sort of competitive platform that will allow us all to see what they come up with.
BTW: PJ Kwong inteviewed Tracy and Brian yesterday and Jason was mentioned. It's available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIz1UBEez1o They talk about how they are managing the rink, and how Brian is communicating with skaters who have not yet returned to Canada. Jason's virtual performance for the PF trophy is cited by Tracy as a new way to compete.

Jason has mentioned the possibility. His coaches want him to be challenged by new programs this year. But he didn't rule out bringing it back next year. He feels like he wasn't able to present it at its best. Apparently they made quite a few changes for World's and he was confident that he would land that quad. So it's unfinished business. However, since no one knows if there will be any competitive skating this season, the new programs might carry over. SL was a great program for him on every level.

I saw this on Instagram from the TCC fan post. Some if not all of it seems to have come from USFS Fanzone. It sounds like Jason did his PF Trophy skate in one shoot? Here is what they posted.
teamcricket_figureskating Jason's comment about Peggy Fleming Trophy:
"With everything going on and so much uncertainty, it was nice to still be able to do something, even if it was virtual, so I like the way they adapted it and made it work. It's new and it's different, and I don't think anyone knew how it was going to unfold or how submissions would work, but I think they did a great job with trying to be creative. I think the skaters enjoyed working toward a goal and being able to perform again.
This was very different. For me, I actually had two days after I was quarantined 14 days before I had to film it. So, I only had two days to train it. I knew I didn't have the energy to do it again right then and there if I didn't do it right. I knew I would be wiped for the day if I didn't, but I think that was the pressure. I didn't have the same kind of pressure with everyone watching, the way that a competition typically feels like; that being said, you still want to get it right in one take, or as close to one take as you can."
Jason watched solo from his home in Toronto, but had his parents, cousins, aunts and uncles watching in Chicago and texting him throughout. Though he had to be told in advance that he won, Jason did not yet know his score.
"Watching for my score was really bizarre!" he recalled. "It was so funny because it was so quick. It was like ripping off a Band-Aid. I was literally done skating and hit my final pose, then it's like, 'And the score is….' It definitely takes the suspense and anxiety away."
Jason says he is training as if there will be a season this fall and would prefer to be over-prepared should competitions be delayed or canceled due to the pandemic. He is also open to the idea of more virtual events if the success of the Peggy Fleming Trophy influences the look of future competitions.
teamcricket_figureskating "I'm all for it," Jason said. "I think the biggest thing is, as athletes, it's just so nice to work toward a goal. We're so goal-oriented and so focused on taking those steps. The biggest thing on my mind is the 2022 Olympics, and it's about taking the steps to get back on the Olympic team and to be there in Beijing. The virtual events are another way of dealing with adversity on the road to 2022, and it brings in a different challenge and a new normal."

Since it's verrrrrrry slow right now I've been looking for something to post that is inspirational, gives insight into Jason's thought process, and just had a "feel good" ring to it. I found this on his website and they're listed as some of his favorites:
“Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.” -Claude Bissel
“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” -Michael Jordan
Enjoy!!

It's been a week since anyone posted in here. Thought I should remind y'all why we're here in this thread. Here's Jason's short from Nationals this year. Sorry about the ads....
