Max Aaron: 34.91 TES + 28.04 PCS = 62.95 and into 2nd place
He is 18 years old and is skating to El Tango de Roxanne
Forward and hands down on his triple axel attempt
Nice height and speed through the rotations of his triple triple combination
Good speed and position through his camel spin
Nice solo triple well timed with the music
I like this step sequence and it goes well with the music but I'd like to see a little more attack from him
Fast sit spin but I'd like to see a little lower position
Fast camel into a nice low sit spin, he could use more stretch through his bottom leg in upright spin but great speed
Finished slightly after the music
Ryan Hartley: 23.57 TES + 20.79 PCS = 44.36 and into 9th place
He is 17 years old and skating to James Bond Theme
Great height on the first jump in his triple double combo
Odd air position on his double axel but he lands it
He turns out of his solo triple jump
He could be more stretched out through his camel positions
He is traveling in his sit spin positions but they are low and he has lost all speed at the end
Camel spin into sit spin into triangle position with almost no speed
I'd like to see a lot more use of his upper body in this step sequence and really see him get into his edges and knees and make the whole thing bigger
Timothy Koleto: 26.05 TES + 24.92 PCS -1.00 = 49.97 and into 7th place
He is 19 years old and skating to Cotton Club
Forward on the landing of his triple jump but manages to tack on the double for the combo
Nice solo triple jump
I like the easy laid back feel to his skate
Gorgeous camel position into a nice triangle position and a low sit spin with good speed throughout
Fall on his double axel
This is a nice step sequence that goes well with the music and he really plays to the character and the judges
Great speed in his spins
I like his extension through his sit spin positions
Very enjoyable program and solid except for the one fall
Philip Warren: 24.55 TES + 26.10 PCS -1.00 = 49.65 and into 9th place
He is 17 years old and skating to Fur Elise
Im not sure I understand his costume with this music
Really off in the air on his opening triple and he falls
Solid solo triple but he'll lose points for having no combination
He's really traveling on his combination spin and I'd like to see him have more extension through his legs
Great height and arm position on his double axel with a solid landing
I like his foot position in his camel spin--it really elongates his leg line
He seems to really be enjoying his step sequence but I'd like to see him get deeper in his knees and make the moves bigger
Really off center on this final combination spin
David Wang: 28.88 TES + 24.46 PCS = 53.34 and into 6th place
He is 16 years old and skating to Summer
I don't think I would have chosen ice blue for my costume if I was skating to Summer
Nice opening triple double combination
Good solo triple with a good arm accent with the music
He could work on stretch through his camel spin position but he has a nice donut position
Solid double axel, perhaps a tiny bit forward on the landing
He could extend his bottom leg more in the upright spin and keep the speed up through this combination spin
Good speed and nice low sit spin positions
I'd like a little more variety and more upper body use in his step sequence and I think he can push through these moves more and really cover the ice
