Not overcomplicating things

Can we go back to a plane-shifting taint nuke? Back to simple.

2009 was my first year at Firedrums, and I remember it as the year that his plainspoken English lad came in and taught us all how to plane shift. I cannot ever remember a moment that year when G wasn't flanked on all sides by eager poi enthusiasts trying to figure out how he'd suddenly rocketed us into the world of 3D. This same year G performed at San Francisco's Decom to what by now is the most overplayed fire dancing song in the history of fire dancing songs. He was first out the gate, though, and what makes this performance really pop is how he accents the beats with the staccato rhythms of his plane-breaking. There is still nobody else with this much flair that can plane break this cleanly.

Sidenote: as an interesting point of comparison, G tried this same performance as a glow performance the following year at Spin Festival (you can view it here) and it's an excellent example of why fire and glow are two vastly different performance mediums. In a glow environment, the choreography is TOO staccato and G's beautiful plane shifts become unintelligible when the body isn't visible to provide a point of reference.
