2021 Fireballs!

Bill Corbett w/ Fireball Dudes (Memphis, TN)

That Southern drawl.  That laid-back attitude.  You would think Bill’s personality just couldn’t jive with the singe-your-eyebrows type of heat his freakishly massive fireballs bring to Sky Wars.  But it does.  It definitely does.

2021 Blind Pyro Competition Displays

About the Blind Pyro Competition at Sky Wars: A high-adrenaline race to the finish line and an exclusive treat for the pyro community, Sky Wars organizers host what we call a ‘Blind Pyro’ competition on the Friday night before Saturday’s public display each year. This unique competition is a lot like the popular culinary show “Chopped” – competitors (pyro teams of up to 5 members) are each given a mystery pile of 1.4g fireworks and 4 hours to create a display. Each teams’ display is then presented that evening to backstage pyro pass holders. Though this event is not open to the public, the videos can be enjoyed courtesy of Firecat8.
