Stay safe

Post by Jack33 »

Today is the day people

I hope everyone has a good night and the snowflakes don’t cause to much fuss.
If anyone needs last minute advice don’t be afraid to ask we’re all here to help each other.

i had a great night, hope everybody else did too and stayed safe. But true to BFN tradition just something had to go wrong lol, i had a roll the dice cake by primed, lit it and nothing, so i left it…after about 10 minutes curiosity got the better of me and i tried to ignite it. Used a blowtorch held to where the fuse previously was which i know is extremely dangerous but still it didn’t work. After the display had finished and everyone went home i was sat in the house and heard an almighty explosion, it was only the cake going up like a dump cake 🤣 shots flying quite literally everywhere! on the road, at the windows and into all the neighbours gardens. Luckily no one got injured but i’m expecting a good few knocks at the door tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣

Ohhh no. I’d like to say my display all went well but I had a VSR2 rocket decide it did not want to be a rocket and identified as a ground explosive 😂😂

It’s been a good year for pyro. Let some smaller stuff off at my house and the whole estate seemed to be letting off.
The bigger stuff set off at my mother in laws and it was the same story. I haven’t seen this much pryo activity in years so that’s a great sign.

My Kings Crown rocket decided to go up sideways and then propel is self toward the ground before exploding at roof level over one of the neighbours houses, they likely got the fright of their lives.

Also had a cake which had stopped after 46/80 shots. Only noticed hours later after it had been rained on, was able to light the reserve fuse and it fired the remaining shots without issue luckily.
