Mel [freestyle fire poi] Night of Flame festival

[dandiaz1782]

that was a very great burn. lots of technique. flow and tech. love it!!!

[hina9292]

omg you never cease to amaze me! i know this is an old video but MAN! you blow my MIND!!

[tylerfeetcore2]

ABSOLUTELY perfect! So much precision, balance, variation, speed, and artisticness with such technically advanced moves. The transitions were phenomenal and this guy gets every aspect of the performance down pat. The best I have ever seen and I have been heavily into poi since 1999.

[sexcessproject]

HELLO ! my friends call me "sheo". please visit my channel and watch my videos, am a contact juggler since 4 years and practice poi since like 3 years but then i got stucked with poi ( I couldnt develope more ideas by myself). but watching your videos has given me several ideas , and I have even decided to make outfits like you use on your videos, you inspired a big part of my ideas, thank you Mel.

it would be nice to meet you in person, who knows ? maybe one day.

Greets from Honduras !

[markedLS]

whooww !!, when I just looked at that video, time had stoped for me..

I wase totally sucked in..: the music, the people standing behind you focused on you, and your flow.. man..!!

I'm actually speachless.. but I wanted to say something anyway :D

respect !!

[RaveMischief]

Wow, that was awesome!

[hina9292]

you are always doing such amazing moves!! love it, as usual!

[jemmre]

No, i can't believe that was improvised! That was pure style! Brilliant, Fantastic, Amazing.......i could go on all night.....

[pr0zaccch]

RAW, you have progressed a lot from the first video I saw a year or two ago. everything you do flows in perfect synch with you.

[newpolitician]

The body tracing stuff is so sick!

[MoriKitsune]

@superdannyj

[rjvjain]

[hooplify]

this is beautiful

[BriManeely]

Man.. You are so incredibly inspiring- This is an amazing video!

[badnerved1]

oh MY GOD! really fukin good i enjoyed watching that performance, didnt want to end! such fluid movement and synchronicity and a good choice of tune = brilliant! :)

[strangedailythings]

wow I'm hypnotized, this is sooo cool! They look like little comets!

[superdannyj]

so much skills... too many for me to actually take in... thanks for sharing and are you going to EJC?

[Meelosapiens]

@superdannyj

Unfortunately I'm not going to EJC(

I have not money for it(

[superdannyj]

@Meelosapiens gutted, i would have loved to meet and spin with you :(

[YouCanFlow]

No, come on... You can do so much better! You're my favorite spinner, Mel! When I see a new video from you I think "YES! Time to see some AMAZING spinning and thebest new patterns the world has to offer"

You set the bar high for yourself, This video doesn't showcase the world-class spinner I know...

[Meelosapiens]

@YouCanFlow

:D

Hey! This is an improvisation!!! I'm not a god! :D

[Circulism]

@Meelosapiens good reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!! I hope I'm never anyone's favorite spinner so people expect ridiculous stuff out of me. Very nice spin and thanks for the continual inspiration

[Circulism]

@Meelosapiens Good reply!!! I hope Im never anyones favorite spinner and people expect crazy stuff out of me. Good spin and thanks for the constant inspiration!

[CoinKing123]

@YouCanFlow ... are you serious? wow. i cant believe someone could even consider critiquing this video. poi is not all about patterns and what is "new." its about the art, the emotion, the transference of energy to an audience.. you obviously spin for the wrong reasons kid, and on top of that, you will never, ever, ever be this good. this is an emaculate demonstration of the talent what world-class spinners posess. id tone down my ego and watch again, you clearly missed the entire performance.

[Meelosapiens]

@CoinKing123

Wow! Seriously? ))

Thank you! I am so glad! Really!

[CoinKing123]

@Meelosapiens oh for sure man. i honestly teared up the first time i watched this. you are really finding some solid flow in your performances and im loving it! hence me getting a little defensive haha. but haters are gunna hate. fuckem you just keep doing your thing man. you are an inspiration to us all.

[RiotsBizkit]

@Meelosapiens

I completely agree with YouCanFlow. THIS is the reason why you have inspired me to become who i am. i spend 70% of my day thinking about my flow and how i can inspire others to follow such a beautiful piece of art. This is THE definition of outward expression of your soul, the purest form of art there is in this world. THANK YOU MEL. for inspiring me to inspire others. i will always be in your gratitude

[MaellePoi]

Ok I see the flames.....but where's the night ??? :D

Awesome spinning, amazing techs....I'm glad I don't spin poi anymore, I don't have to be jealous ! :p

[Meelosapiens]

@MaellePoi

You should to watch your old poi videos again! You rock! Your videos was an inspiration to all of us! You are in the book of poi history already, you don't need to spin for being great! :D

[cyberspin99]

cool cross bow's,  i like your ability to slow it down and speed it up, you waist wrap cross overs and neck wraps are sweet!

[Mescer]

fantastic!

[Ejagulator]

I steal all your tricks but only wish that i could flow with the poi like this great shtufff

[kimbrgsm1]

your fluidity is mesmerizing... thank you for sharing your art!

[dafonz6996]

wtf did u do at 1:42-1:46 that shit was mind bottling

[sephiroth22635]

@dafonz6996 Agreed man, I to was like wtf, I can poi my self, got about 4 years experience in me, but that whole manipulation he done with his body was just freaking crazy man.

[greensmurf1989]

YEAH!!! badass man love watching everyone progress and change the way they spin. Fantastic job, cool combos in here too

[derekjf85]

I have not watched the video yet. I have to prepare myself 1st for my mind to be blown!

[tenkaris]

Love this video. It's sure to help me pass the time until your 2011 tech poi video which will determine about half the moves the poi community obsess about for the next year until you do it again :)

Keep it up, Mel. You're pushing the art more than anyone.

[steele14]

Fuck yeah. That was SICK!

[rainbowchaser1]

Just beautiful. Thank you.

[stRbucks85]

Dude I can always count on your vids to give me some fresh inspiration when I feel like my poi is stuck in a rut :O There's one thing that I'm wondering above all else at the moment though; where'd you get those awesome pants? I'm determined to find them and then buy them :O

[TheBudman4202000]

this video is great learned some new stuff from it

[0282cmc]

your spinning always makes my brain tickle

[VegaEtereo]

[whoismiked]

I just went from 6 to midnight ....

Mel you are so amazing and inspiring!

[whoismiked]

@whoismiked : 211 views, about 50 of them are mine, seriously, im so inspired, the entire flow was sick, but 1:40-1:48 dropped my jaw, I'm gonna have to work on that combo, ridiculous

[barnzee1]

those 360 antispin flowers are amazing!

[thehellisthere]

fuck yeah! Но серию стейлов в конце второй минуты запорола левая рука xD

[thehellisthere]

[Rammstein2720]

Amazing! Also are you left handed? I noticed you spin the opposite direction as I normally see and as I do.
