We were team #10, the “Zesty Zucchinis”. Unstoppable. We came to SHRED the competition. Only this wasn’t really a competition… It’s COBRA-Con 2024 pyro boot camp! Join me as I take you on our pyro boot camp journey from beginning to end.
Check out all of the professional and amateur shows from the 2024 COBRA-Con event!
