The past two years my alltime favorite is the "SUPER STUNT" from winda. For a 1.4 cake nothing comes close IMO, great big and very loud breaks.

Winda has a new cake that looks incredible called : Super Bad. I think Dave has a video of it !

Super Stunt is really, really good. Colorful, fills the sky and packs a nice punch. HOWEVER--I heard the newer version is slightly watered down. Just what I heard, but if that's the case then it's a major shame.

I also shoot "The Whole 9 Yards" annually. It's one of my favorites. "SuperNova" (best 500g finale ever and my all time favorite cake) and "American Chopper" are nice too.

supernova was in my opinion one of the best 500g cakes ever made.


heard from the owner of a local fireworks stand last august that supernova is no longer being made. really sucks cause i would have easily paid $100+ for it. got it for only like $60. super cool fan cake.

I also bought a Supernova last July...was not disappointed. Perfect finale and an excellent fan cake. I really hope it wasn't discontinued!

A friend of mine owns/runs a couple of fireworks stands here in my local area. I looked for Supernova this summer & didn't see it, so I talked to him about it. He said the manufacturer (pyro predator) stopped making it. I don't know how you bought one, MizzouTiger, but you're very lucky. BigMo- I'd save at least one of em just in case.

Pyro predator is Hale's Fireworks house brand!

Really? Then I don't know what in the hell he was talking about. Interesting. I've heard from several people including him though that that particular cake was discontinued.

That is not true ! Supernova is still around and I know for fact that its being looked at by the CSPC right now "SUCKS" ! It also has 2 other re-raps but I won't post those here because outing product is the reason it disappears in the first place ! If you paid $60 for it you got a hell of a deal considering it wholesales for more then that................WOW

The re-wraps are not nearly as impressive. The time is not as good, smaller breaks and less flash powder than the original.

I know it's by Phantom, but Phandemonium is a very nice zipper.

Question how would you know ?

According to your post you know nothing of the re-rap . This happened to be the only video of its re-raps I could find and I have shot the other
re-rap . Here is the Vid! Also yes they are just as good !

Who is the manufacturer? Is it still Pyro Predator?

Hope this is a 1.4g and does not require a Type 54.

Those are definitely flash breaks. They had to rename it this year.

You just outted Neutron Star..you want the go for the bonus round and out the other re-wrap. I'll help you, it the common terms for a "Super Nova" and manufactured by a colored mammal.

Here is a good look at Pyro Predator's Supernova...you tell me if there's a difference.

I'm not saying the re-wraps are not great cakes...they are a toned down version of Supernova. That said, I'd buy the re-wraps too.

Let's change the subject. How about the new 500 gram line from Dominator "Monster". I purchased Monster Strobe and it has the longest lasting strobe effect that I have seen in a consumer product.

Which version did you have? There were two different version out one had all strobe breaks a the other alternated between strobe and golden willows with strobing tips.

I shot a case of the all strobe and they were awesome.

I'm glad you posted this...they looked incredible on the DVD. Just added a case to my order. Although they have 3 versions of this cake this year, I think the white stobe peonies version is incredible.

3 versions? Is one Red strobe? I see Big's now has a Red Monster Strobe. They had a re-wrap of Monster strobe last year.

The case I shot last year i bought from Nite Lites (all strobe and no willows)

The Monster Strobe from last year is the white strobe peonies. Dominator made 2 more versions: Monster Strobe Brocade (brocade crowns & red pistils) and Monster Strobe Red (red strobe peonies). All available through Nite Lites.

Here's a pretty good one too. "Mid Air Mayhem". Turn your volume off, couple of idiots yelling ruin the video.

Here a few to think about:

BMF - Bigs
Wide Angle - Bigs
Pyro Candy - Winda
Triple Whammy - Brothers
Open fire - Brothers
Detonator - Dominator

I could go on and on. There is a ton of good 500 cakes out there! Just make sure that you know all the names of the rewraps!

Good Call here BigMo. I can totally agree with all but Triple Whammy I haven't ever shot that one.

Example of re-wraps
Bigs Wide Angle is the same a Winda Reach for the Sky
Detonator is a re-wrap of many Bigs Chronic, Golden Bear New Dimension, Bigs Bad A** Biker, just to name a few.

Last september during a show for my sister's wedding, we shot Sexy Riders (9 shot) paired with Thinderkings. I was happy with the sexy riders - nice breaks and symetrical patterns - and the Thunderkings ran about the same amount of time.

American Rhythm, combined with Rock on (a few of them), Grave diggers - dont last long, but are awesome. They have the mine effect with the shell at the top, So ya get the high and low effect filling the sky

gorrilla warfare and fighting rooster are very similliar to grave digger but i think they last a little longer. All are fun cakes. I didn't see anyone post ONE BAD MOTHER by world class. oldie but goodie
