I had the opportunity to deliver to him in November and this bad boy was in process. All of the big shells he had in process looked immaculate, very well made. Tim is a true pyro and has a passion beyond most based on what I saw. Steamboat Springs is a beautiful city too if anyone has plans to go watch them shoot this 48.

Joe, that facebook video was from 2016. I am looking for the video of the shell that was shot off tonight.

Yes--you are right--someone else pointed that out to me on my FB page. Please share a link if you are able to find one.

Honestly, I am not that impressed. Last years 48" broke low and had no real effects. This years still had very little effects for being the worlds heaviest ever. Still impressive feat though!

Kudos to them for even being able to get it in the air & break on time. It isn't something that you can make and shoot a couple "out back" to make tests & adjustments on.
I am quite surprised that they didn't do a "shell of shells" with it. ...Just my humble opinion. ...maybe next year?
