This is from the first night of competition, and being able to see shells like this in person was amazing!! Some real skill and artistry were on display here!
@@JG-PyroTX you really do!!! Tonights competitions alone had 4 pyro musical, a 10 - 12" shell competition, 5 - 8" shell comp, 3" shell comp, gerb cometition, girandolas comp, unlimited mine and comet comp (so 4" mines LOL) and more... Oh and Spirit of 76, Hauter Fireworks, PyroLand all did product demos too... and all the lines were active... I think I am in heaven..
@@agenttassadar7272 I would recommend!! I can't wait for next years! I haven't REALLY built anything yet (helped on part of a 12" just putting in stars and burst charge). When I was talking to the All-Stars though they were all saying how much harder it is to build a 3" because you have so much less room to work... So if you are getting solid results with 3" then you are doing a lot right!!
Oh boy, def. need longer tubes for these folks building these hahaha! Great work all around, I'm really glad to see other styles of shells being built here in the states now.
There where some INCREDIBLE cylinder and Maltese shells going up at PGI!!! I can't wait for this years!! They are looking into getting some builders from Malta to attend this year or next year to hold classes and bring some of their shells as well... I really hope they pull it off!!!
You are welcome!! There are such talented people here!! Just leaves me in awe all the hard work that goes into these shells to get all the timing and effects right... Loved getting the chance to see them!!
@@denfireworks oh, I can only imagine as we know it’s a lot of work and worth all of that work. What a great video. Awesome shells keep up the great work bro.
Last year was my first year and I don't know how I lived with out it either!!! I can't wait for this year!! Sounds like they are bringing some Maltese builders and some of their shells as guests and to teach some classes too!!! Check out the PGI Playlist I have, I think it will bring you out to Brainerd MS this year!! Or Iowa next year! It is THE BEST Pyro vacation I have taken!!
I had no clue what to expect at PGI..but to see shells like these..and the exhibition ones and all the competitions and displays and... I am hooked! Such skilled builders on display!
It was weird that they didn’t work. I built them in batches and tested 4 of them. All 4 worked great. Here is the video of the shells from the same batch. th-cam.com/video/UCh_DG2tXuA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/DxVMgmapjvg/w-d-xo.html
Sweet ! I know none of those people. Old school is gone. The last shells I made was a 6 timed 5" Hammer and a 2 timed 5" Shemezu red stars syeteens and BSs. Spoolette timed. (I don't know how to spell those words) 30
You might catch some names later in the week! A lot of competitions coming! Those sound like awesome shells! I am still torn if I want to get the build addiction or not!
OMG that shell in person!!! It was INSANE!!!!! I can't even imagine all the timing and work that went into it!!!! Check out the Exhibition ones (well honestly check out all the shell comps from PGI Ball AND Cylinder) INCREDIBLE BUILDERS!!
@@hammershell INCREDIBLE Craftmanship!!! This was my first PGI and I was just in awe watching the competitions!! Thank you so much for all the hard work in building these and AWESOME Job! Congrats on 1st too!!
Wouldn't that be AWESOME???? Seriously I saw so may shells and shows that I never thought I would see in person out there!! I can't wait to go this year!! Come out! Take some shell building classes! And the ones you build you can take right back to the open B line and send it up! It is an incredible time!! Rumor is they are going to bring in some Maltese builders this year to do classes and show off some of their shells!!
So ALL of the competition shells (rockets, mines, fountain, lances everything) have been made by the competitor and all the stars and colors are done by them too... Just so much talent represented here!!
Oh yeah.. that one was INSANE!! Those last few breaks were SO LOW.. and that Bottom Shot shook the ground.. If it didn't go off on the ground it wasn't that far away!!
Imagine working allyear on one or two shells and the announcer effs your name up and stumbles over ever word of the shell description... I'd be pissed.
LOL I get you! The atmosphere during it was actually pretty light with laughter going through the crowd as she stumbled.. And you should hear so of the bad jokes I get out during gaps in the competitions LOL I Was thinking of doing a super cut of all of them and the groans! I guess, it's all volunteer so you get what you get, but some of the effects she couldn't pronounce I was like WTF LOL
Man I am not sure how many announcers are that skilled!!!! The builders were just incredible Anon.... There where so many great competitions over the week!! Some of those large ball shells? Insane!!! And the Masters cylinder shells.... Just what a week!!!
I would love to!!! I am excited though because this year PGI is having some Maltese builders come out to give classes and bring some of their shells so I can see them in person! Italy is a trip I could talk the wife into though :) And I would love to see some of the Italian builders shells in person!!!

I really need to plan a pyrocation next year.

I need a pyrocation as well. Makes my 3" shells look like childsplay.

@@denfireworks yeahh i love it, i hope to be at the pgi convention one time 😁 love the idea!
This is why the announcer should be a builder but wiley is a great builder
Some very nice shells, to bad for Colton none of his shells broke. Great stuff
I know.. I felt so bad...putting in all that work for 4 break shells...and neither one went :(
It was weird that they didn’t work. I built them in batches and tested 4 of them. All 4 worked great. Here is the video of the shells from the same batch.

Lol ya know...I am going to have that stuck in my head now lol such talent in PGI!
Awesome shells
Yeah they were amazing! Some of those multi multi break ones were awesome
@@denfireworks They was and they are also very time-consuming to make, hats off to them builders
Those last two were like "Shows in a shell".
They were incredible! Just kept breaking and breaking and breaking
Maltese style shells, we have tons of them every summer
wish i could make a couple and send them :D

Check out the Exhibition ones (well honestly check out all the shell comps from PGI Ball AND Cylinder) INCREDIBLE BUILDERS!!
Think my favorite was the shell at 6:42
That shell was AMAZING!! It just kept breaking and breaking and multiplying!! I can't even imagine how long it took to get all that timing right!!
Thanks! That one was mine!! That was actually my favorite as well even though the other one I entered won first place.
@@hammershell INCREDIBLE Craftmanship!!! This was my first PGI and I was just in awe watching the competitions!! Thank you so much for all the hard work in building these and AWESOME Job! Congrats on 1st too!!

Curt Rapid

Wouldn't that be AWESOME???? Seriously I saw so may shells and shows that I never thought I would see in person out there!! I can't wait to go this year!!
Come out! Take some shell building classes! And the ones you build you can take right back to the open B line and send it up! It is an incredible time!! Rumor is they are going to bring in some Maltese builders this year to do classes and show off some of their shells!!
Maybe get someone that can read to do the announcements next time.
So are these homemade?
Those last two shells were insane
So ALL of the competition shells (rockets, mines, fountain, lances everything) have been made by the competitor and all the stars and colors are done by them too... Just so much talent represented here!!
Yup!!! just amazing!!!
I feel like the announcer could be better at reading aloud.
omg 7:35 were can i get one plz !!!
Oh yeah.. that one was INSANE!! Those last few breaks were SO LOW.. and that Bottom Shot shook the ground.. If it didn't go off on the ground it wasn't that far away!!
Get that woman off the microphone. Good Lord.
Lol yeah I would not want that job reading it all front of all those people but...man lol
hahahaha what a names :D she cant even call it lol
hahahaha funny
Imagine working allyear on one or two shells and the announcer effs your name up and stumbles over ever word of the shell description...
I'd be pissed.
Wouldn't it be nice to have an announcer as skilled as the firework makers?
LOL I get you! The atmosphere during it was actually pretty light with laughter going through the crowd as she stumbled.. And you should hear so of the bad jokes I get out during gaps in the competitions LOL I Was thinking of doing a super cut of all of them and the groans!
I guess, it's all volunteer so you get what you get, but some of the effects she couldn't pronounce I was like WTF LOL
Man I am not sure how many announcers are that skilled!!!! The builders were just incredible Anon.... There where so many great competitions over the week!! Some of those large ball shells? Insane!!! And the Masters cylinder shells.... Just what a week!!!
That woman is really not good at announcing maybe get a man next time
Italians do it better come in Italy for learn about cylindrical shells
I would love to!!! I am excited though because this year PGI is having some Maltese builders come out to give classes and bring some of their shells so I can see them in person!
Italy is a trip I could talk the wife into though :) And I would love to see some of the Italian builders shells in person!!!
