  • This was an awesome video project I worked on earlier this summer. This piece is about a bird who used to lead the flock and now has a broken wing. The choreography is done by my incredible and genius friend, Benji Schwimmer. Hope you enjoy!

      @@Owarinonaimono I do think that Yuzuru does bring artistic and technical elements to the table, but Adam and Benji (the choreographer) created a program that explains a story. As Adam said "This piece is about a bird who used to lead the flock and now has a broken wing."

    It made me burst into tears when I read that Benji Schwimmer choreographed this piece. I listened to the 4 hour plus coming out podcast he did back in the day. When he was on SYTYCD I honestly didn't like him much. He seemed so fake. Little did I know.
    But it makes me glad to know he's applying himself to working with great talents like Mr. Rippon.

      I cry too. I used to live on ice skates in the winter as a kid in Michigan. Now I am worried about breaking something and feel I can't risk skating and ending up in a cast! Yes, laughable and is very sad but thank God for my memories. Maybe when it is time to go, I will put on skates and hit the ice- and just fly away.

I just wanted you to know how beautiful, talented and unique you truly are. You skate with your soul and there is nothing more raw than that. This world is a mess, too many people are negative without seeing their own faults but to watch you and listen to you, it takes all of that mess away for a moment and you shine like no other. Keep pushing....keep shinning and keep being you! XO

    Nathan can do like 6 quads in a program, but although Olympic medals are based off athleticism, there should be more consideration for the artistry that other skaters exhibit. I remember just being dumbfounded by the beauty of your long program in PyyeongChang. There's just such emotion when you skate. It's captivating. But Yuzuru Hanyu did deserve his medal. He's such a gorgeous performer. I love the jumps when you raise your arms, and he somehow is able to do a lot of them. Amazing. But anyway. Beautiful performance, Adam.

Your personality and sense of humor really are what have led me to not only watch many interviews you did, but also decide to leave a comment here. I think you really have been a role model for future skaters as well as anyone who is yet to believe how determination can one day defeat self-doubting and insecurity. Best wishes to your future and look forward to hopefully having you visit Taiwan. Your authenticity is as mesmerizing as the footwork in your U.S. Nationals' short program.

I live in east la and there isn't a skating ring around here. Unfortunately, this dream of mine will never become a reality. Watching you perform has deeply touched me. I wanna become a better dancer and you have inspired me to let myself go. To me, figure skating is so much more beautiful than regular dancing. It takes more control of your body. Just everything about you is wonderful. 💕
