@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I do have a question, could there have been cross fire within the second cake not caused by an outside source?
@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Жыл бұрын
@@toddwert4979 I'm sure it is possible. The thing that I can't understand is that I lit it from one end, but the three larger bore rows at the other end went very soon after the initial launch and also fired much faster than other video demos show them firing. As if all three rows has quick fuse etc.

Interesting on Road to America, back row must have lit prematurely from the other cake by the firing pattern. Not sure how it would have fired that way by fusing issues alone
@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Жыл бұрын
For sure, but even if it were lit from the backside, it fired the last three rows at almost the same time. That isn't how it's normally wired. My best guess is a crazy unlucky jump fire from the cake before it or the first couple of shots from the cake itself.

Looked like there were a couple low breaks on the right side from Amazing Ballet (before the whistles). Embers setting off the last 3 rows at the same time? I’m partial to RWB zipper cakes… T-Sky has a couple that fit.
@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Жыл бұрын
So funny enough, I actually lit Amazing Ballet last, but realized when editing I said I was going to light it first and adjusted the video according. So technically Golden Peacock shot first, then Road, and lastly Ballet. You can never go wrong with RWB!

They were in a line pretty much identical in spacing to the thumbnail. I fired them all electronically pausing about 10 seconds between each cake. I'm pretty sure the first row prematurely lit the back rows from the fallout. It's the best explanation I can provide.
