Japan is crazy insane when it comes to shells, the Katakai Fireworks is a super giant shell that they launch on a giant tube made of metal

3:56 its a normal thing in Berlin

[@rainerblitzknall4956]

4:01 - This is not how you would normally do it. Random dude in Berlin: “Hold my Club Mate!”

[@zaccomusic]

amazing contents friend

[@Liamd330]

Awesome I love fireworks and covid ruined it this year 😩

[@DongHoDocLa]

good day!

[@northerners2828]

Cool i like fireworks 🎆🎇

[@Zman_1123]

That’s a good terrain for that kind of technology.

[@r.awilliams9815]

They didn't show the actual setup of the fireworks, which is understandable, as it mostly involves humping tube racks around, loading the correct shell for each tube...you know, the boring sweaty stuff. It's always either hot and dusty or rainy and muddy, something always goes wrong, and you swear that this is the last damned show you're going to do...and then the shells start going off, you feel the concussions in your chest, smell the smoke, and know you'll be working the next show, just like always.

[@joeshmo2827]

Yea, alot of people just see the shows but don't realize the amount of hours that goes into it... Clean up included after the show. There were times we would easily have 12 plus hour days for a 30 minute show🤘. You're right though, nothing like the concussion of the shell's lift charge when they go off🤘.

[@electron2601]

More like 18 hours. You often start early in the morning and end it all the way to the next morning.

[@OptimisticalBilly.9001]

Tory's motto "Chaotic but fun"

[@wettale]

How the heck did Streetbike Tommy end up on Discovery? Lol he has the best show too

[@marksimmonds6364]

He didn't go left for once 🤣

[@michaelcastro5210]

Is there like a type of book that’ll teach you step by step in how to create a firework presentation?

[@vajazzlerthis]

Meanwhile my favorites are still the ones that you can feel in your chest almost a mile away

[@towcars5550]

Salute to u

haha. try listening to madvillainy stoned and tell me what you thought

[@Nikgamingnl]

In the Netherlands firework is now illegal thanks to Covid-19 I can still use cat F1 firework

[@andressaja737]

The reason?

[@4lphacurse663]

@@andressaja737 to much people in hospital due to covid. They dont want people with burns from firework to go to hospital so no legal firework=less people with burns in hospital. Atleast thats what they believe.

[@mguerramd]

It's not difficult to get a pyro license to shoot professional fireworks, if you are interested. Each state has their own requirements. It's also not too difficult to get an ATF license to possess and store them. If you want to pursue it, do so! I got my Texas state and ATF licenses and shoot professional shows, and also shoot professional product at my own private shows. It's a blast! My day job is eye surgeon... And by the way, I NEVER hand light.

[@Sunny-pt4yi]

Hey i want some detailed explanation of show set-up

[@shepherd8762]

im a licenced pyro, we still manually shoot, we manually shoot becuase we cannot afford all the ellectronics and wiring involved as were a group of 5 volunteers who do shows for small towns for canada day and other holidays and most shows are less than 2K

[@ElevatedEyes2023]

You still doing manual shots? Or have the prices come down enough to be affordable? I'm looking Into getting my Pyro license

[@cw6136]

​@@ElevatedEyes2023😂 Have you seen prices???

[@nicolasmoya9156]

What kinds of shells do they use for the fireworks that shoot off in arena type concerts?

[@squiresmediagroup]

Explosive ones 👌

[@coppervixen33]

Pyrotechnic, generally. Without lift.

[@JosieOrtega-du6tt]

8:36 I wanna see the full of the show 😂

[@casperPellegrino]

Here in The Netherlands we throw those shells or place them in parks on the ground no tubes just on the ground en let the explosion go around and destroy things

[@Reppo80085]

Wow Tory looks so old man~ dank

[@centralnewyorkresponses7887]

Every time Tori presses the space bar I see dollars being burned.

[@213BRANDONP]

9:04 nostronium=Strontium think that dyslexia got ya lol Copper salts+chlorine donor for blue Strontium for red Barium for green Sodium for yellow Charcoal for orange/yellow Aluminum,titanium ,magnesium all make white sparks (also used to increase intensity of colors often at the expense of hue

[@brentadrianph5780]

And it just makes me think how much it costs

[@chrisashby4497]

There are alot of variables involved in it. For the shells they just shot it's well into several thousand dollars. The bigger the shell the more expensive they are. I don't know about in other countries, or even in other states, but here in utah where I shoot them at only about 1/2 of the show cost is in actual product. The other half pays for the permits, the crew, insurance etc. I did a show for new years eve last year at a ski resort. The show cost was $13,000, and we had right around 600 shells and several cakes in that show. Granted we weren't able to shoot anything larger than a 4inch shell due to space constraints so we were able to have more shells in the show because we were shooting the less expensive ones. I hope this makes sense, and answers your question.

[@karlrobinson4887]

A rare look into the people behind the selection of lame, trite, cliche, boring fireworks music that the audience finds so pedestrian they are actually insulted by it.
