【ヨーヨー】world yo-yo contest 2008 final 2a 02 shinji saito

[Imrolini08]

@jack661999 He's good, but i have seen better.

[soju69jinro]

this is why he got second... and its a good thing too...

there was a bet, and people wanted to see how well he could do by not yo-yoing, nor practicing for one whole straight year. thats why you can literally see those mistakes... and he lost by less than 1 point... thats amazing

[ENOENOENOU]

カイブツや～！

[ic33x2x]

i love this but it makes me wonder is he a leftie or rightie lol

[Aikosar]

@ic33x2x Ambidexterity

[devilofvideos]

@ic33x2x rightie, coz he did the main parts of cow wraps with his right hand =]

[sanfu365]

Is that a sunset trajectory?

[mancavetelevision]

sunsets suck its either a loop 720 or raider

[England1414]

720's and raiders suck, sunsets are the best

[MonkeyShow20]

No offense, but it's the strange things that entertain us :) 5/5

[kaiyoyo8]

what is the name of the song

[siggyx4scythe]

Cartoons - Doodah! KOG remix

[4bird5]

@kaiyoyo8 i know right this song is dank an weird

[itzzspencer]

awsome! remninds me of glowstringing, cept harder

[IrishvimiL009]

cool your so expert..!!

INSANE

[YEahsasdh]

the best

[ejchaves75]

dang thats crazy how he still loops when he hops up off of the ground

[Ebinballer45]

7 years--- Wow!

[crownrocks]

Shinji came out with some really difficult tricks because I think he felt that if Koji competed he wouldn't win with anything less. Too bad Koji didn't compete that year because Shinji would have won with a more conserverative freestyle.

Not taking anything from Takuma because he was much cleaner, but to say Shinji stuff was ordinary thats just crazy talk. The stuff he threw into his freestyle is insane.  Love the last 40 secs or so from 2:48.

[percentdaily]

i counted 5 mistakes....getting second after all of that is still pretty amazing

[animaanimaanima]

some one defeated the 2A god!!!

[kevethebiggest]

He is my favourite :)

[xaykogeki]

does shinji saito compete only in worlds? I am not seeing other videos of him competing in other tournaments?

[Igknighton]

Central Japan

[ButterscotchGenius]

He almost always competes only in worlds

xaykogeki. (Though he won Japan Nationals this year). I think the last time he competed in a non world contest, besides this year, was Japan National in 03.

[MarciusSim]

Bring back the yellow shirt!

[twin2mac]

Shinji seemed to think he had it in the bag. I think he is one of the best out there but he just didn't seem to have the desire to want it. He's won so many, he may have thought he had this one too. His mistakes hurt him and takuma's routine had some difficult tricks and they were done well. Sorry to see you lose shinji, you have a good streak. Hope you step it up next year.

[betelcomunicaciones]

secos pero el anterior mejor ja

[Superdobo]

lol... loved that platter of yoyos at the end...

poor saito tho... i htink he deserved the title... overall.. he has so much more talent than what was displayed here...

that was unlike shinji normally... hes so consistant!

[GTYOYO]

well to say the japannese got us beat in mostly 2a and 3a kinda in 4a and 1a and 5a even though they all got 1st place but im sayin that the japanese mostly win but most americans are better at 5a and kinda 4a and

1a like im sayin they kinda have more ppl doin it and more of them are more skilled than others not to be offensive thats just my opinion lol ;)

[Jlongbee]

is your period button on your keyboard broken?

[CroatianYoyo]

yea and all best player ar now like 2nd :(

[kary213]

his moves are crazier than takuma but i guess he losted bacause of the few mistakes but man this should have gotten first

[Akid777]

this should've gotten 1st

[simFrikiFrikiFriki]

he's right

[kary213]

i know!

[masterchodon]

Theres a couple of things that do into the matter off winning worlds though:

-Desire:

Shinji didn't really crank up his tricks like he usually does, showing more presence than usual. I do not though, maybe its just after watchin him 100 times.

-Deducts

Takuma played it smooth, and had very difficult tricks he had control over. Shinji in this freestyle kind of rambled on doing just "point racker" tricks

-the amount of tiems hes won.

well, you all can figure that out.

[kennytang3000]

that music so suits him

[kary213]

agree

[sarahatfield]

Has anyone ever added martial arts moves to their yo-yo routines? That would be cool -- flying kicks and stuff.

[siggyx4scythe]

i know koji yokoyama, did a kind of... tangler-ish leg-wrap combined with a jump kick

or something like that.

look for a jump kick in his 2007 routine.

[Neopiko1]

he lost... and yet he is my favorite.

[trivet111]

wow he lost! nice performance btw. and i like his new hair. lol

[GTYOYO]

lol the bests r now just getting in 2nd lol and hiroyuki 2007 contest in hong kong could of won

[jukijunk]

It sucks for both mickey and shinji...They lost because of noticable mistakes.....

[PhilharmonicJack]

well, i felt that Shinji's skill is better?

it's sad that there were too many mistake

or else i believe Shinji might win again

too bad~~ =S

[chemistry0cola]

言葉が失うなあこれ....

[anusstrap]

Takuma Deserved first but I enjoyed Shinji Way more Then Takuma. 6 Year run though.
