4th of July

[Jumboshrmp]

I like to "play around" with fireworks.

I live about 30 minutes from the largest Neptune Fireworks store in America, and I go there when they have buy on get one free of anything.

So I stocked up and didnt have to buy anything for about 5 years.

I got thosands of bottle rockets for about $5.

Plus, I found these cool little individual waterproof firecrackers.

These are a ton of fun.

You light one, throw it in a puddle, and it makes a huge splash.

(I'll maybe upload a video if I can get around to filming it)

Yeah, I like to fool around with fireworks, but remember kids

 

"When you work with explosives... it can be dangerous!"

 

So, what do you like to do on 4th of July?

We barbeque hot dogs and hamburgers and go down to Kennywood to watch the fireworks at 10pm.

[woah_killa]

We shoot a lot of fireworks...

[GeorgiaDawg278]

Strike a match, light the fuse, watch it happen .

 

How can you ever go wrong?

I love shooting off fireworks. Especially bottle rockets!

I love to "experiment" with fireworks. I LOVE fireworks, and I love to find new ways to shoot them off. However, I can only do this when I travel to places where they are legal. They are illegal here in California, even the safe and sane ones.

I am going to a friend's barbecue in the afternoon, and then to a baseball game and fireworks in downtown Indianapolis that night.

In florida, they are for the most part, illegal, except for occasions.

Some are legal, however "If it flies or explodes, it's illegal".

On certain holidays, like July 4th and New Years eve, it's okay, but the law is quite a lenient one.

 

I like to experiment with fireworks too.

I haven't been injured yet... the worst thats happened was I got hit in the leg with a piece of a firecraker.

 

What have I done?

Stuff like tying 3 bottle rockets together and launching them at once, putting firecrakers underneath an empty soda can and watch the soda can fly up into the air, and, my favorite:

 

Find a long, level street, and makesure there are NO other people nearby.

Lay a bottle rocket parallel to the street, light it, and watch it shoot about a hundred feet down the road.

 

Another fun thing to do with bottle rockets it to find a piece of long pipe (about 3 feet), put a bottle rocket in it, and aim it into the sky.

 

 

Those are some of the fun things I've discovered over time.

Whatever you do, be careful, and don't try anything really stupid.

^I like to play with bottle rockets too. I push them down into dirt piles and watch them fly out of them, I throw them in water, I shoot them off backwards, I go into fields and light them off level to the ground. One time (I feel really bad for doing this) I lit a bottle rocket off at a low angle and one of the kids that was with me was standing in front of it, and it fired off and hit him right in the arm!!

[TheKlockster]

I had a bottle rocket in a bottle (interestingly enough) and I decided to hold the bottle. Well my mom said something to me - and I turned to her, lowered the bottle and said "what?" - forgetting about the lit rocket. It went off, hit her in the face, went to the ground and popped. That was it for the bottle rockets that 4th...

I'm hoping to go to SCBB this fourth, and plan on shooting my first POVs...(wish me lots of luck..lol). No fireworks...they're illegal here anyway unless I load up my RCT3 Mixmaster, then I can let off all the fireworks I want.

[DejaVu4Life]

Blowin' stuff up. 'Nuff said

[ParkTrips]

I use bottle rockets year-round to keep gees out of my yard :-\

[sfmmFREAK]

sit on my roof with my friends and watch the fireworks

[wersigobra]

I used to love to light fireworks but they are illegal here. People drive across the boarder to NH to get them though. Now I find it annoying because sometimes they sound like gunshots. Not cool.

[TheArchfiend]

I like to, as was said on a classic episode of The Simpsons; "celebrate the birthday of my nation by blowing up a small part of it."

 

Though all the celebrating this year will be done on Monday the 3rd as one will be able to sleep in on Tuesday since the me and many others have jobs to tend to again on Wednesday morning the 5th.

 

Good times will be had by all.

 

Injuries should be minimal.

 

I think.

I'll be celebrating my 22nd birhtday with a bunch of friends. During the day I'll end up working . Oh well. It will be worth the trip to Disney that weekend.

[HAYASHI]

I went to a Six Flags park on 4th of July before and it was the worst experience ever. It was at Great Adventure and to say the park was packed is an understatement. EVERYONE in the park was lucky to get on a maximum of 5 rides the entire day. Even the flats had people waiting outside the ques.

 

Good luck if you do go. Maybe the weather will be less than spectacular and not as many people will go.

PGA also has fireworks tonight and tomorrow night.

I'm getting ready to head into work with the big crowds!

I'm going down to the National Mall, and watching Fireworks from Bumed (A navy base located left of the Lincoln Memorial if you are looking at the washington monument from the steps.)

[BeemerBoy]

I like to experiment with fireworks too.

I haven't been injured yet...

[24]

There is to many fireworks to chose from.

I got this. It's one of the big ones.

I wanted this!
