[chiblette]

Poetry in motion

[atsuhisa1976]

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!

[Tossrock]

@AmberStalene That's a spiral, it's actually an extremely simple move, although somewhat dangerous with fire.

[AmberStalene]

What is the trick called when it spins around and bounces off your hands at 0:59 ?

[h00man1]

[Rehver]

So well executed. .

[Fueegen]

amazing... =D incredibly clean, amazing nice moves, like usual on your vids.. =D this vid allwyas inspirating me.. I can't understood those superquick spiral-wraps, ..I can't do it.. =D incredible... =D

[dannyvanespelo]

@Fueegen 2ways to get this

1: spiral up and put your thumbs on the chains (the middle layer of chains) keep them there and spiral back and forth.

2: wind up both poi once around you palm. then spiral (the succes is in whether your hands clap or stack)

succes

[clavepablito]

yeha!!!!

[ng6037]

thats poifect!!!!

[yogashley]

sugoi!!!!

[oigressoto]

OMG :O

[PyrodynamicsRob]

I think your solo routine deserved 1st place, really nice!!

[cjsheridan]

AMAZING!! Where can i find a video of the 1st place winner? And is it possible to do better than that?

[mcvonz]

@cjsheridan -

I think the 1st place is the tandem with YUTA, ASUKA and TOGO... :-) I'm not really sure this is what I was thinking 'coz I haven't seen the 1st place.

[kojot133]

who is the winner?

[Nulleamai]

Perfect! Your body,your poi and fire are just one thing! On of the best spinners of the planet i think. Amazing.

[neiye397]

[mmagick2]

Great routine Yuta!

[Mojagrina]

Yuta!! dios mio!! i wach this over and over again!! Just perfect!! keep going!!

[MrPhatRob]

Oh, wow.

[MemoryLena]

Beautiful use of move progressions. Wonderful to watch you spin, as always, Yuta.

[shila377]

no doubt ur one of the greatest!...but i dont get the idea why you only got the

2nd place?!..

anyway that was very amazing....i really hope i can make it to JFF2010 . . .to see perform live!..

[Bellithe]

If he was only second with that amazing number, I'm dying to see the first place entry!

[MelindaHaley]

Hey what do you use to wrap your hands with to protect them from the spiral wrap? Do you have any recommendations? I would really love to learn that move with lit poi, but I don't want to burn my hands. :D

[yuta]

Thanks for the comments.

The music is la strada by coba.

Album title is "Boy".

[NicSchumi]

Unbelivable great performance Yuta :-)

[panchoavendano]

ok, at 3:19 shoul be called as a new trick

[yuta]

Thats Thomas's (nevisoul) spiral wrap :)

[panchoavendano]

hoo, ok,What i mean is that I have never seen 5 spiral wraps in 4 seconds, any way it looks amazing, and so much dificult than 1 spiral wrap

[leviroseman]

@panchoavendano its called a hand spiral circle

[JaviAirhead]

Holy shit!!! Yuta got 2nd with that performance?!?!?!?! Who got 1st place??? It must have been super close.

ROCK ON YUTA ! ! !! !!! You are a hell of a spinner!!!!

[LucidRaver]

[dakronium]

I'm better, lying is a joke,,, you were my first inspiration,,,, greetings from peru

Yo soy mejor, mentira es una broma,,, tu fuiste mi primera inspiración ,,,,saludos de peru

[dakronium]

I'm better, a lie is a joke,,, your bundle was my first inspiration

[ieatplacenta]

that was next level poi

[AriadneYvette]

Great! I like this perfomance very much. Really clean, really elegant. I see a little of Nick too ;). I'm impressed. Good job! ^_^

[dragade101]

just for a second but only i saw nick there. spinning the same as.

good job yuta

[Insignia]

Holy Moly! Compound Cateyes!?! Bravo Yuta! Amazing video and very inspirational. I'm so glad that at least now, more and more people are starting to use "advanced" tech in their normal flow. The next poi evolution is here! wee!

[Alhimik198]

what is background music playing?

[ShadowWalkerSAviy]

I'm a bit surprised at the 92 score for technique. His moves were clean, his planes were clean for the most part, and he used advanced techniques correctly...why a low score?

[thehellisthere]

Maybe the mark was lowed for the moment at 1-47? It looks like microscopic mistake on the background of perfect dance))

[gibpsycho]

bravooooooooooooo....  wuauu...

[willsanquil]

Amazing Yuta, you are a continued inspiration to us all :)

[Amitrix0]

Very nice =)

I still like the Endangered Species routine most though =)

[panchoavendano]

wow!, lways more incredible than before

[OmgThisGuy]

wow...

[ChrisHagadol]

o.o

[WhatMACHI]

Amazing! Great flow :D

[darkrealm666]

[Mireneye]

Love the same time beginning.

Nice to see so much positive energy!

Ganbatte YUTA!

[burnpoi86]
