Hi there,
My name is Pyrodise, 42 years and I'm a Dutch fireworks freak. My brother-in-law is a Canadian fireworks fanatic, so I stumbled upon this nice Canadian Pyro forum. My love for fireworks started when I was a kid and it never stopped. In the Netherlands it's only legal for one day, December 31st, to set off fireworks. The remainder of the year we are not allowed to sett off a single cracker. In case you're really passionate about fireworks you start to look for alternatives; official fireworks displays, video's and countries with other rules six years ago I saw a video of 'Fallas the Valencia' in Spain. I was flabbergasted by the quality, variety and amounts of fireworks... For the people who don't now; Fallas de valencia is a big festival with music, religious rituals, enormous firecracker displays during the day and night called a 'mascleta', big fireworks displays and huge dolls (max 200 feet) set on fire on the last day of the festival. And the Spanish people over there are just wonderful! They really enjoy life to the max. Since that visit I returned every year. Last year I added a trip tot Tarragona where I enjoyed a fireworks competition. The display of the winner (Valenciana) was really one of the best shows I witnessed live.
Another passion of me is shooting video's. So I combined my two passions and made a some fireworks video's. To share them with you and to relive the pyrodise moments myself over and over again If you want to take a peek, just check my YouTube channel. I'm pretty sure you will like them.

I've also seen the Fallas documentary you mention. I have loads of material here on my harddrive, so I still have the ambition to make my own for publishing on YouTube.
