I think I saw an interview (maybe TSL) where he and Ashley talk about Adam using hair chalk on his hair. I don't exactly know what hair chalk is but I'm not a big fan of his new look.

Hair chalk is usually colored(as in, rainbow shades), but there are white-ish versions. It's powder-y stuff you rub on someone's hair, it's very pigmented & usually only last 1-2 washes. He probably follows bleach with a silver toner to get this shade

I like how no one has anything to say about the two skaters that followed Adam. I mean, I don't either. Not great, not terrible, just in that big bland mushy middle. Maybe if they chose less popular music?

Adams' hair almost looks mauve.

Honestly, I've mostly forgotten their performances already- and I don't like saying that :slink:

Unfortunately there's never much to say about the Finnish men...I have yet to see a great performance from any of them.

Eladj does a great job of A Mans' World! Guess we may have had some input had he been the one skating. Although the Finnish guy has great jumping ability. The Axel was there and a wonderful save on the leaning Lutz to get the toe on the end.

I know. That's the danger of choosing popular music, isn't it? I never understood why it was considered the 'safe' route.

I recently saw a photo of Adam and his hair was a shade of green.

Welcome to Posting at GS. I see you are an old timer like me.

I missed Adam's performance but his score says it all which is unfortunate.

Another bit rough skate

ruffledgrouse · Oct 10, 2015

On the other hand, I lovelovelove how June Hyoung took his time with the music in the beginning and built up the movement. He just needs to work a touch more on refining his arms and posture (and work on the jumps)

Thanks for the welcoming all. Wasn't that Jeremy Abbotts' music?

Yes, some other men have used as well. It's getting to be popular.

Speaking of new classics, and dangerous music to skate to, here's Blues for Klook
