YoYoFactory Presents: Shinji Saito 1st Place 2A World YoYo Contest 2011 (finals)

[@mrpandasian8871]

9 years later and this is still arguably one of my favourite 2a freestyles out there

[@asdfghjkfdsa]

the constant cheering! it's awesome how stoked the everyone is! so much positive energy

[@yoyospinstar]

I can watch it endlessly.

[@PalaGilroySen]

I remember this one time, i did a sleeper...

[@stizzy6372]

@Percy WONG it’s been 9 years he’s probably better than the guy in the video by now lmao

[@spaaace-core]

Ok, so Hunter x Hunter doesn't lie, yo-yos can actually be weapons.

[@nyanko190]

He is a player with the most titles at the world championships with 12. He is now 22 years old was born in Fukushima, Japan. Congratulations you can win a lot of situations.

[@myname3960]

For those who know, ignore this comment: Those who keep saying, "wow, is he using two yoyo's at a YoYo competition?", the answer is: yes, but it's not just him, it's called division 2A.....

[@roogie4591]

Daniel Blinder didn't complain but I didn't know either thanks

[@EvanNagao]

now the true question is... shu takada 2012 or shinji saito 2011?

[@redkb]

I wonder how many times he accidentally hit himself in the head??

[@nebooo69]

Last generation, the boys go outside and play with toys or whatever, and the girls invite friends to the home and play with dolls. But recently most of kids stay home and playing TV game, shooting, killing and fighting in the game. I am not saying that playing TV game is wast. But I believe that having communication is very important for the children. There are so many things that they can learn from communication face to face.

[@moistsentientbagel5116]

2:12 look in the lower left corner

[@DinoRanger-yk9hz]

+Brett Roberts there is just a black board.....

[@moistsentientbagel5116]

Sorry lower right

[@DinoRanger-yk9hz]

Brett Roberts :D

[@batmandude1282]

He means the camera man

[@Drmfitz]

as a two-handed professional yo-yo player, this guy is more than good. btw, it takes a lot more than an hour a day for a year to do anything close to this. 3/4's of the way through and his yo-yo stops,. he grabs it, "flicks" it and winds itself an goes-took me 3 months of daily practice to do that easily. i can see he mentored his tricks after the guy who taught me, the original Duncon Yo-Yo Man, from the 60's, Dale Oliver, the worlds greatest yo-yoer. again, nice work kid.

[@NickRaFilm]

i can do that, hold my beer

[@ThatOneRandomSteve]

Mute this video and put Stone Free by Jimi Hendrix in the background. It's mesmerizing.

[@tieule6700]

13 times world champion

[@LosTPuppyyy]

the best part is that it looks like he is genuinely enjoying himself

[@rossmukasey5889]

Level Asian.

[@Triscuit407]

I'm just getting started with yo yoing and starting with 1A, but I would really like to try 2A and 4A.

[@p3nguinish]

I enjoyed the audience's excitement as much as I did the performance with all the "WOOOOOOOOAAHHH!!" s

[@free533]

awesome, i love the small dances too and how it's kinda synced up to the music. so amazing

[@LucasRubini]

Besides all these frustrated and unskilled people - you find them by their comments - I think that's awesome. Congratulations!

[@Jjackson5970]

I taught this guy everything he knows. I'm so proud.

[@ookami3380]

@Hakeru13 thats bass terror by alec empire. its an old track (that dnb junglist part)

[@shahid2909]

this man is total crazy...ma'n. and the background the muzik makes the theme more blazzzzing....

[@DivisPetr]

This guy is not normal. I'm glad for KZbin's slow motion option:)

[@Misfits9110]

@MrSpirit23 The yoyo was in fact originally designed as a melee weapon centuries ago. Crazy what people do with things when they have some creativity and time to spend.

[@bennyboo03]

Wow. KZbin featured something worthwhile for once.

[@LazarusCato]

Drum & Bass and Yo-Yos are an awesome combination.

[@thebrandonvu]

@MRFCKJEWTUBE There are hundreds of different loopers in the world, and i gurantee you, not all of them are ambidextrous, so what makes them different from ordinary people ? Practice and skill, when somone puts in the time and practice they deserved to be recognized

[@kuyaChrischan]

He was the 4 time and the only world champion in the Combined Division when it still existed in 2006-2009. :]

[@lostcause61]

Price of 2 trick yoyo: $40 The ability to do this: countless hours. The "Woah!" of the crowd... Priceless

[@llnick96]

you are THE BEST OF YOYO !!

[@cameron3654]

i didn't know people could get so excited over yo-yo's.

[@thecolororange22]

1) lights in the yoyos 2) glow in the dark string 3) black lights 4) techno music 5) KILLER RAVE PARTY!

[@EyeamEJ]

I remember yo-yos being big when i was in the 4th grade. Everyone had one and we use to use them before school and at lunch. I had a Yomega Brain, good memories.

[@cmetropo]

Anyone know if K Strauss the yo yo guy was in attendence?

[@viciogames1121]

trust me, if you play yoyo everyday, at least hour per day, in one year you will be "like" this guy.

[@sharpkeet]

how many times did it hit him in the face before he got it down?

[@panstromek]

String and looping yoyos has totally different shape. You need to get specific for both styles. But don't ask at comments page on youtube video. Go to some yoyo related page, there's usually help for begginers.

[@lupegonzales1510]

What kind of yoyo would you recommend for sleeper string tricks and what kind for looping tricks? Also what kind of strings are the best? Is there any yoyo that will do both good sleep and loop? I want to get a new yoyo I just don't know which ones are good.

[@quantumrift11]

I'm 99% certain that this is RL CGI

[@miniZtelevision]

When he finished, I only saw two yo-yos. What'd he do with the other 3?

[@wallyyamada]

朝の情報番組で紹介してた～ヨーヨーがこんなにエキサイティングでスリリングな競技だとは知らなかった。しんちゃんのテクニックが1番スゴイ！ポーズがカワイイね。

[@thanh320]

There clearly has to be someone that can take his title!!! He is too good! I'm looking forward to next year's championship!!

[@hhmasta4320]

Of all the talents he could have had, he honed this one... But what a talent O.o

[@idratherbeanonymous]

@BeortheMad I like yoyos if it means that much to you lol. had a few as a kid. Feel better?

[@kuyaChrischan]

@navarrotroutman University student. Didn't compete last year because he had school, breaking his winning streak since 2002

[@MrJustyouraverageguy]

anyone know what yoyos this guy is using? doesn't seem to be his yoyofactory signature...

[@PoFryRice]

I love how this video has 1.3 million views while the rest are 10K-1XXK.

[@Vindexterity]

I saw something on yahoo about a signature move? What part of that vid was his "signature move"? It seemed like 75 % of that video could be unique to him. (obviously I'm not a yo yo expert).

[@Robrocks1231]

look how much views there are its completeley diffrent than other vids that this channel uploaded

[@panstromek]

Loop 900. Loop 1080 is only few months old.

[@shaggzishere]

damn!! wonder how many times he smashed a yoyo to his head while rehearsing.. pure respect for that little man

[@thebrandonvu]

@MRFCKJEWTUBE wtf does baseball have to do with yoyoing

[@Dynikus]

to quote one of the judges... "There's Shinji, and then there's everybody else."

[@DK3CHAMP]

I think I am seeing the greatest Yo-Yo person of all time.

[@combee105]

hey wat is better yyf starbrite yyf die nasty?

[@RGScentral]

Wonder just how many hours it must have taken him to achieve that kind of skill. That's just incredible!

[@NegaDark]

yoyos are so much more advanced now it surprises me there aren't more players. I'm the only one who can yoyo at a professional level where I live. It's sad

[@ZickPranks]

Duncan construction?

[@Abdullah___1993]

[@hiroka29]

He seems a nice person :p I like it when he smiles..

[@Poponfu1]

[@MrJustyouraverageguy]

@SomeGuyTHPS ah, really? dang. So we still don't know what yoyo he's using XD?

[@Bell45yo]

[@katyarusya]

[@xninjax2008]

When I was young I was barely able to get my yo-yo to come back off the floor haha! This guys a master at this!

[@adrisonfiree]

[@sonic7188]

いまだに見ちゃう。

[@CorraSoul]

Where is this man?

[@ViniciusDutra]

Dude, we need this video in slow motion!

[@rickard000]

I love the audience going: WOAHHH!! and later when they say: WOOOAHH!!! but the best part is when they say: WOOOAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nalla1223]

wondering; how do they judge 2a?

[@ImamuraYuji]

The name of the third music plz

[@younggwock]

@younggwock why do you say that he has no life ahead of him?

[@thebrandonvu]

[@yoyostringburn]

How did this get so many views (besides Shinji's awesomeness)? Was it on reddit or something?

[@Hakeru]

[@HELLISHHANDZ]

@czechdudefak where's the slow mo option lol

[@COUNTERstrikelord60]

[@kelvin-nz7sf]

[@MoonChild277]

7 times to watch this xD I never get bored !

[@VCofdaG]

dude, this guy makes the yoyo seems like a new world weapon

[@Frostwolf223]

What the HELL? I can barely play with a single yoyo normally without tangling the string, and yet this kid can pull off THAT? That's amazing.

[@DEathgod650]

What song is used at 1:40?

[@serenelight]

this guy brought it to the next level wow!

[@walloxx]

desempleo?

[@potatomonkeypenguinninja9000]

[@ayoubkhalil1]

[@Jameslowell9]
