Jason
has had a very successful December. First he won the silver medal
at the British Primary Men's Championship, gaining two new personal
best scores, 18.57 for his free programme technical mark and an overall
best for his free of 44.91. He followed that up with two memorable
performances at the Champions on Ice Gala at the Linx Ice Arena in
Aberdeen, alongside many British figure skating stars. His programmes
proved very popular with the large audience.
Jason
is already starting work on a new programme for next season, jointly
choreographing it with his mother.

Jason is now training for the Scottish Championships
in Dumfries. His two programmes will be skated on Thursday 20th and

recently.

Jason has been training both in Aberdeen
and Inverness while the Elgin rink is closed for renewal of the ice.
His training is going well in preparation for the junior test in Sheffield
between September 14th and 16th, leading up to the Scottish Championships
in Dumfries in October.
JUNE
2005
Jason is about to start his 6 week intensive
summer training at Moray Leisure Centre, on average doing 3 hours
on ice a day and a hour and a half studio work a day, consisting of
off ice program choreography, flexibility, plyometrics and jump rotation.
Jason also often practices meditation, which teaches him relaxation
skills before events.
For recreation Jason and his mum like to go for long walks at the
beach and in the woods, which takes them away from the pressures of
skating.
Jason's sponsor Margaret Dearman gives him a lot of support by coming
to the ice rink to watch him and chat, which he will miss for a while
as she is going to Canada but looks forward to seeing her when she
gets back.
MAY
2005
Jason's skating is improving quickly now since changing his blades
and boots. He has got his triple loop and triple salchow back and
is now working on triple flip and triple lutz in preparation for the
Scottish Championships in October.
