I've been spinning poi 15 years. I still come back to this video for inspiration and to learn something new. greatest tech compilation ever made, no one can convince me otherwise
Mel.... My god man. You make my brain hurt. I have been spinning 5 months and pull of thing I probably shouldn't yet. But I watch you and feel like I do nothing. lol. Mad skills my friend. Gives me goals every day.
This video has given me lots of inspiration because i feel, like some other people have said, that i had no direction to head in but this video changed that. Mad thanks
whenever i feel my poi is getting stagnant i come watch this video and always find endless inspiration. this is still my favorite tech video out there i hope to have the pleasure of spinning with you some day!!
I absolutely adore this video... I'm learning how to spin poi (about 4 months now), but damnit, I'm afraid that I'm never going to be as amazing as you and a couple others out there!
Wow. Im so glad I stumbled across this video. You are amazing man! Ive been spinning for about a year and everything in this vid blows my mind completely!
fucking avant garde genius. Music is super cool. This is one of the new generation tech videos that left me open mouthed, poi evolves so quickly its scary
ahhhhh this blew my mind, poi has such infinite possibilities, lovely to see new things to work on, id say this covers the stuff ill be playing with for the next months for sure! :b
Thank you so much! I am really happy that you like this stuff. I want you to know that your videos was very important for me when i just begin spinning poi, your ideas have been built a big part of my style and creativity in poi spinning. Thank you so much for your work! Hope to see you someday, Bluecat)
i saw a ten minute poi video and thought 'there's no way i'm going to get through that'. but i did, and it was awesome! thanks for posting, subscribing!
oh thank you so much! i've been feeling a bit stuck with my poi, and i'm not really good, and then i watched your video and it's so good and i learnt a trick from it and now i'm really happy :) :)
Wild to see someone else on this video, with less than 80k views, 8 years from posted date, within 24 hours of each other. ...and both still reveling in this genius compilation.
magnificent, I think that's the word to describe this video... really mind blowing stuff in there bro, awesome plane control! watching this makes me happy to know that I have like a ton of new stuff to learn!!! thanks for sharing:)
Sweet. Mel, This was exactly the video I wanted to see when I said I wanted to see the technique that you came up with. There are some truely brilliant and beautiful patterns in this video. I was approaching a point where I have been finding poi boring and repetitive, you bring something new and fresh, and inspire me to continue practicing. Thank you for this.
Your tech is so good! The poi (contact staff) move blew my mind. Check Drex's tech with horizontal stacking, fairly new I'm sure you can rock'em! Great job btw!!!!
WoW that is really great new stuff. For me you are one of the greatest Poi spinners in the world...hope to meet you one time. All in all nice video...keep it up ;-)
you're amazing at spinning man. I was wondering if you planned on making anymore videos? just because you're one of the best spinners i've seen especially in this video, and it's been about a year since then.. so you have probably improved quite a lot :O
i also love how i come back to watch this video for the 100th time and find little bits of gold that are moves ive come up with on my own exploration and then you just bust it out flawlessly with some added twists that i hadn't even considered. one example being 8:50 aweswome!! also what is the track id of the last song in this video?
Even after two years, this is still blowing my mind. >.< Also, grats on your recent Ukraine's Got Talent appearance! You've gone so far with your art! It's quite inspiring.
@Meelosapiens oh i hadent seen that ! man i couldnt just skip to the end i had to re-watch the full thing youre just so smooth . how do you learn all this ? research or you get taught a few things by someone ? i thought i was ok at poi im obviously not ! :D
what kind of handles do you have? 2 loop or ball handles? also one of the most skilld poi iv seen in a long time very very nice had to re wach half the moves to see how you transision in to them
Hey Mel; haven't watched this for a while, but it's still full of lovely stuff even 3 years old :D looking forward to the day we finally are in the same place!
Have you thought of a Workshop tour? I think it wont be a problem to get participators. I would love to help you with stops in Germany. Your Moves are just awesome!
Does this guy have an instructional DVD out yet?! haha This melted my mind to watch. I am very impressed and need to ask like many others: What is the materials used to make that poi? Or where did he buy them? Please throw a link in a comment if you know anything.
