Brandon Wiese was the first skater asked to represent Jin Joint. It was announced at the Bittercold Showdown. He skated great all day and the judges seemed to notice. If he didn’t smash his shin in the beginning of the semi’s, he would have made it to the finals for sure. I first noticed Brandon at the MTL Classic last August. His high speed skating and flawless style earned him first place in the AM contest. Brandon’s overall attitude and the way he carried himself made it impossible for me to want any other person to be the first to represent Jin Joint.
