Mel [freestyle fire poi] Live Fires festival

[Hollibal666Lecter]

ahh i keep coming back to watch this...... gotta say its probably my favourite vid on youtube!! you are amazing <3

[123dorayme]

how long have you been spinning for??

[SerPorit]

извините, но без мата не получится... Мел ОХУЕНЕН!!! Имхо он уделал всех. То есть вообще всех. Всех европейских, американских и японских мастеров :)

[thoricatha]

SO awesome <3 Wicked sick!

[lifeoutsideoverthere]

unbelievable, great timing with the music, really accents the moves nicely..quite the inspiration for someone who is just starting like my self haha

[Dontfckwithghosts]

your hybirds and flowers (especially the triquetras) are incredible. i can do flowers a little bit, but nowhere near that smooth. VERY well done.

[chord12]

AMAZING!!! This is indeed brain-cracking...

How do you do the move in 1:13...?

[CalKeyWilson]

@chord12 Opposite direction isolation vs. horizontal cat-eye.

[CalKeyWilson]

@chord12

Iso vs. horizontal cateye

[Dropp00]

O_O I've no fuckin' word!! it's amazing and actually I think I've never seen a poi spinner like you!

[Renato813]

Flow went well with the tunes. Video was nothing short of spectacular.

[ariannasage]

Mel...I must say that this is my absolute favorite poi video on the internet, anywhere...you rock!!

[Hollibal666Lecter]

I never get sick of watching this video.. once it starts I can't tear my eyes away. It's the best fucking fire poi I've ever seen....... wish I was there.

[dragonkingtim]

Ultimate Fucking Ultimate

[Dontfckwithghosts]

learning how to do some of this stuff... holy speed control at 1:54. Mel is pure inspiration

[IkiPoi]

Holy cow...love your style man...

You ARE tech :D

[phazerave]

every time I watch this it inspires me to pick mine up and try to do something I havent done before. and to fine tune the stuff I can do... bra-fucking-vo! I hope I get to spin with you someday.

[phazerave]

@Hisshino if you ever find out what fuel these pro's are using please let me know. I cant seem to find one that will last that long. unless they are brand new heads.

[Dragonsdrakes]

Sick brother. Love your style. Freestyle is my favorite to watch, and spin myself. Your a bad ass in my book.

[CzakiStg]

WTF just happend ! Outstanding ! I'm a spinner to, it was so fucking good. Speed, tech. and the most important. Heart. Greets from Poland

[cs451022]

You're really awesome. I come from Taiwan,you're my idol.

[orpen85]

5 people who clicked dislike think this was done with computer graphics.

[Meelosapiens]

@orpen85

Thank you! It is so funny! ^^

[000mikeyman]

@orpen85 This looks like the only way to play with fire .I cant wait to get my hands on sum of these fire poi toys . I seriously need a hobby too .

[razorman8669]

minute 1:36 is sick

[brkbeatjunkie]

@orpen85 Apparently none of you know anyone else that does poi. All not only possible but a very technical artist. I do however think the audio is dubbed up in a really good position to be picked up by the camera. Segways are on point.

[SnakeBarney]

holy shit..

[Mrspinnnnn]

wow i just watched this and it blew me away. you are amazing!

[pdoubleoty]

Dude, I don't know how many times I've watched your videos, but I will totally have your babies.

[WickedRaverGirl]

I think that if I ever need a pick-me-up, this is what I'll watch. :)

[Mateuszpiotr666]

You are great firedancer! Awesome! This is it ;-)

[poisndgirl]

i hate this song but it fits so well in this vid. That alone is worth a big thumbs up! Your spinning is pure awesomeness!! BRILLIANTLY BRILLIANCE!!!

[jmaghan]

this is so absolutely incredible!!! Can you give any tips? Your speed,tempo chanmges, grace and fluidity are beautiful!

[hru418]

epic!!!

[Heliosvector]

Jesus christ! Now I love both yuta and you

[bo0ga138]

holy crap, your awsom dude

[MrCrush2u]

Very nice performance. LOL@ the anti-meth ads, love that song.

[specimn13]

I keep coming back to watch this. I just love it so much.

[AcidRain64]

Freakin' amazing, man! Two of my favorite things -- the song and this performance art -- combined into one, and done so extremely well. Fantastic. You've inspired me to consider learning how to fire-spin someday :-D

[ripyourfaceoff420]

holy sh*t.

you have inspired me to try new things

simply AMAZING

[kalanasse]

Amazing. Simply gorgeous artistry. Thank you for sharing.

[Skidmark0123]

Wow, man im enjoying those butterfly antispin flowers like crazy man, mad props dude, argh after seeeing you do all your spinning makes me feel like i have so much more to learn, which i do. Mad props bro.

[hollow6542]

this guy isfucking awesome!

[WUNJIO]

ok, THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO BECAUSE it has no pop or hip pop or dance or something like that music. NOONE USE METAL! And I really respect you for this: it's far more difficult spinning very fast. ù_ù Respect!

[Poiboy813]

BR YOUR HONESTLY ONE OF THE SICKEST SPINNERS IV EVER SEEN I PRAY I GET AS GOOD AS YOU YOUR WHO I LOOK UP TO IN POI CHECK OUT MY VIDEOS

[specimn13]

you are soo amazing. I hope with enough practice and passion one day i can spin as beautifully as you do.

[JasonCrucifix]

Wow dude, you are amazing to watch, definitely one of my favorites, i hope one day i will eventually become close to as good as you. How long have you been spinning for?

[weejools1]

[Mocoso7]

[tonkatsu69]

[tonkatsu69]

[Muczykowski]

[santiago1234567890]

@Muczykowski thats a hybrid...horiozontal cateye vs isolation hand folowing poi

[TheSupremeAbstract]

Amazing and inspiring.

I love how easy you make techy stuff look and flow.

[dercrazyalbaner]

[dafonz6996]

[saldux]

You was in vilnius in that video Spinning in Vilnius? :) am from vilnius..am the spinner to..and I can speak Russian so easy, but I can't write :D so if you come to vilnius again we can speak russian..our team would like to have fire spiners friends from another country :) what you think about that? ;)

[Meelosapiens]

In the video 'spinning in Vilnus' was my friend. His name is Stefan (Papperdoll).

[MegzAngel]

[max789]

I don't think I can watch this video enough. I've still never seen anyone hold poi the way you hold em

[ReVoLynx]

What sort of demonic powers did I just witness?!?

[vpetra215]

You are disgusting.

I think I have fallen in love.

Who are you and where do you exist?!!!

KiT~

[nadiasophia1]

@vpetra215 haha that's what i'm thinking!

[theempathogen]

@vpetra215 He's a movement arts teacher in Moscow. I don't think he speaks English, though.

[Meelosapiens]

I am from Saint-Petersburg! Yes, it's in Russia.

Who I am? Hm..

I am a student of University, a spinner, a performer, an artist of FireKast show group, a son! :D

I understand English, but speaking so bad((( But I try to develop my English.

[Meelosapiens]

Sorry for the late response.

[phazerave]

@vpetra215 in another dimension apparently....

[tulsky]

[cboztarla]

[poizano]

Yup. That was amazing.

You need to come to Firedrums in 2010, OK?

[M3RL1N]

Wow, just wow, flawless stalls, flawless flowers, amazing timing and a great mix of fast and slow tempo moves. you just topped yuta and are now my fav spinner on youtube ;)

Seriously amazing stuff, keep it up!

[XephPieces]

Wow, this was one of the best fire sets I've seen. Awesome stalls.

[Jesterian]

This is a really awesome poi video. Probably the best I've seen on youtube..

[peteskold]

man u are sooooooooooooooooo damn awsome how long have u been doing this for ? im getting my first poi set soon and hopefully in the years to come i will be half as good as u man that is insane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pdoubleoty]

i cannot stop watching this video for new ideas to play with...you are a genius.

[1pinosos1]

every time i watch this i find a new move or way to move, freaking awesome man!

is there a name for what he dose at 0:26?

[parchefl]

Well, that's actually a combination of moves. It sort of goes from an extended arm 2 beat weave that wraps up into a double spiral, stalls, then goes into a reversed buzzsaw and back into the extended arm 2bt weave.....I think. Beautiful non-the-less...

[leospoi]

archer weave

[Russholten]

Definately the best fire spinner that I have ever seen. I will be studying this video. I hope to see more soon.

[Jimslut]

fuckin awesome man, i loved how you went with the song, i love that song.

[RollingFireDragon]

that was excellent i love how you slow down and speed up to the music

[veskotone6to]

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice, man :))))))

[Poikeks]

[poiboi07]

Crystal Method (ft. Filter) -Trip Like I Do

[pornsixtynine]

[0mastar]

Принц Огня

[joew3426]

FABULOUS!!!!! When are you coming to the States?

[jugglingfreaky]

absolutly the best poi movie ive ever seen

[DruidFirePoi]

О да))) помню помню ))) Молодец)) жаль было мокро и холодно(((

[bjrcboy]

I see many elements in your style taken from other poi spinners but with a whole new artistic take on them. Bravo! Truly excellent spinning Mel!! I think we have a german? Yuta on taking over youtube! ahaha... Now next large fire festival I would love to see you, Ronan and Yuta do some crazy partner poi! lol Oh don't forget Cryill[sic] as well <3

[MorsmordreMaiden]

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to place you under citizen's arrest. You broke more laws of physics in that video than I can count. And probably a few laws of physics that we haven't even figured out yet.

[Samuraijessie]

I keep trying to find the right words and failing. I don't know how I can love you so much that it fills my heart with hate. But somehow it does. Keep it up. This video has created a whole new standard and I love it.

[Funchaku]

That was amazing dude!!!

(added it to my favorites!)

[nautilusjames]

Bravo

[twirlplanet]

I'm loving the control you have in the stalls and all those direction changes...and the speed! Wonderful!

[pdoubleoty]

124 to 126, that stall/drop and switch back up to teh same stall is just utterly ridiculous. crazy crazy awesome

[pdoubleoty]

i mean good god...that was epic beyond words

[RemSurja]

new master of poi! :D

[bke613]

Awesome!!!

[MrChutney]

Truly excellent :)

[chrisacarlos]

beautiful style!

[VegaEtereo]

Sweet. *****

[azurefeline]

mmm, really nice :D

[Amitrix0]

Very good =)

[LittleFierce]

I realy realy LOVE your flow....still waiting for more!!!!!

[JaviAirhead]

Woah man, quit making the rest of us feel like poop on a shoe!!! JK, you are truly an inspiration, showing us things that weve always thought of but never have been able to execute. Thanks man! so ill just point out sum things i liked the most= 1:13, 1:23, 1:53-2:16, .... lol, theres so much awesomeness!!!!

All in all, i need multiple ShamWow's to clean up the mess that was just made from my mind being blown!!! XD

[semfire89]

wow man... this is truly amazing, one of the best poivids ive ever seen. keep it coming =)

[0mastar]

Wow, I mean I knew you were good, I just didn't know you were THAT good. I have met Yuta, Tom Nevisoul, Alien Jon, Cyrille, Burning Dan, and countless other amazing poi spinners... you surpass them all with your skill and knowledge of poi. Remember to mess up every once in a while, so people don't confuse you with a God.

[Insignia]

Dude, you're flow is amazingly on point. You're video's have been a very welcome breath of fresh air. Please, Keep Posting!

[MaellePoi]

Beautiful ;) You rock ^^

[Meelosapiens]

Thank you! ;D

[CalvinKlown]

[justmajors]

[gibpsycho]

[Daedra87]

Holy balls that was bloody wicked!

Seriously mate well done, that was fantastic!!

That was bloody inspired and I look forward to seeing more! (^_^)

-D-

[TaoAvatar20]

Wow...seriously, wow...

The horizontal cateye antibrid at 1:14 is fantastic--first time I have ever seen it done, let alone integrated into flow.

Your transitions from hybrid stalls into cateyes and crossers starting at 2:08 are stunning. What an excellent way to revisit a theme and play with what comes out of it!

Overall, wonderful flow and use of the dynamics of your music. You're one of the techiest performers I've ever seen and that's a huge compliment. Please keep posting!

[Insignia]

^ Agreed. Because of this video, I've finally picked up the Vertical and Horizontal Cateye Hybrids.

[DurbsBT]

Frickin' wicked

[Samuraijessie]

I'm impressed. Lots of really nice stuff in there, Color me inspired.

[jitpunkia]
